How long does a breast lift last?

Most patients, barring any major life changing event like pregnancy or extreme weight shifts, will undergo breast lifts only once in their life.  However, your body, and certainly your breasts, are constantly changing. You can experince this within each monthly cycle. If you have "sagging" breasts, (and sagging is not a universally defined condition, it means different things to different observers), then a mastopexy and/or an augmentation will help treat this. Your breast will immediately change, for the better hopefully, but swelling, gravity, stretching, extra-weight with implants, internal and external scarring will all influence the shape of the breasts. Your emotional reaction to your breasts may also change; i.e. you might become ecstatically happy and overlook any imperfections, or you might become quite fixated and critically of them, becoming unhappy with every little progressive "sagging".  Some patient will want little touch-ups every so often and others will be forever content. The only thing you can say is that you will be more sagging in the future not having done the lift than doing it. And you will be the one determining when you might need another operation.

A breast lift operation is a great procedure for patients after child birth. As long as you don't have further pregnancies or have significant fluctuations in weight, your breast should hold up pretty well. Remember that as you age, the elasticity of tissues will weaken and the breasts will sag a bit.
