Can I have another breast lift in the future if needed?

Dear o123456,
Thank you for your question about the feasibility of undergoing a breast lift now and the possibility of needing another lift in the future after having children.
Multiple Breast Lifts:
Yes, it is entirely possible to have a breast lift now and opt for another one in the future, post-pregnancy. This is a common scenario for many women.
Utilizing Existing Scars:
Regardless of the type of breast lift you choose now (be it crescent, donut, lollipop, or anchor), the same scars can potentially be used for any future lifts. This minimizes additional scarring.
Planning Your Surgeries:
You can safely proceed with a breast lift at this time and enjoy the benefits. Then, after completing your family and breastfeeding, you can reassess and decide if another lift is necessary.
If a smaller lift is performed initially and more lifting is required post-pregnancy, a more extensive procedure like an anchor lift might be considered.
In conclusion, having a breast lift now doesn't preclude you from having another one in the future. It's advisable to discuss your long-term plans and concerns with your plastic surgeon to understand the best approach for your current and future needs.
Wishing you the best in your journey and future family plans.
Sincerely,
Dr. Katzen

Thanks for your question. Yes, a patient can have more than one breast lift. I recommend scheduling a consult for a proper evaluation. Please always consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Take care, Dr. Moises Salama, board certified plastic surgeon.

Yes, you can have another breast lift in the future. Whether it leaves you with additional scarring will depend on the technique used for the first breast lift and the extent to which the breast requires lifting again following children. You may wish to consider the potential impact of a breast lift on breastfeeding in the future, if this is important to you. Keeping a copy of your operation report is important, as any future surgeon will need to see this to make sure the technique that they use is safe. The main concern at the time of a re-do breast lift is maintaining a blood supply to the nipple - problems with this can lead to partial or complete loss of the nipple-areola complex.

Dear o123456,
generally speaking, it is possible to get more than one breast lift surgery. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

You can absolutely have a 2nd breast lift in the future if Necessary using the same incisions as the first procedure. The best solution is to just wear snug, supportive bras to hopefully prevent need for another lift.

Hello there!
This is a great question. Pregnancy can affect breasts, as well as breastfeeding. Generally speaking, a breast lift procedure can be done again in the future if needed. Surgeons typically try to use the same incisions as the original procedure, but this can vary from surgeon to surgeon.

Yes, it is possible to have another breast lift in the future, although that is not ideal. Generally, patients are advised to wait until after they’ve finished having children before considering cosmetic breast surgery. Incision placement for the send surgery depends on the extent of correction involved, therefore it may be placed on the scars or elsewhere.

It is not uncommon to "redo" a breast lift after many years or after a pregnancy. You can use the same scars/incisions.

A breast lift is done by removing some of the skin envelope of the breast, but maintaining all of the underlying breast tissue and shifting it to a higher position, and wrapping the remaining breast skin envelope around the tissues. If your breast skin stretches during future pregnancy but does not “snap back”, additional tightening of the skin can be performed. The same pattern would be used for both breast lifts, and therefore it would not increase your scarring. Best wishes.

The technique I recommend is The Bellesoma Method. This will reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained. I have never had to redo a Bellesoma procedure due to mechanical failure.

Best Wishes,
