The undersides of my breasts look wrinkly and shriveled because of the pleating from my vertical mastopexy. Should this have resolved by now (nearly 4 months post op)?

Answer: Breast lift results Every patient goes through the healing process differently. Breast Lift (Mastopexy) surgery 4 months post op is too early to determine any results. Patience is necessary for the body to heal and let tissues settle to where they need to be. Usually around 6 months post op patients can start to see final results. Continue follow up visits with your plastic surgeon and follow their post operative instructions.
