Will a breast lift make my breasts more firm?

Question

I know that some women have firm breast tissue whilst others have looser and more bumpy tissue. Well, I am the latter and I despise it. If my breasts are perked up, will it make my breasts feel more firm to the touch?

Thank you for your inquiry.A breast lift will make the breasts perkier but not firmer. To achieve a firm feel to your breasts, implants will be required.I recommend you schedule a consultation with a well experienced board-certified surgeon will guide you with which she will be most comfortable.Best of luck to you.

Thank you for your question.  A breast lift will make your breasts appear to be perkier with a better shape but to the touch, they will not be firmer.  To make your breasts firmer, you should consider at least having small implants placed in your breasts.  Please be sure to see a surgeon that is board certified in plastic surgery and is a an expert in the breast lift procedure.All the best,Dr. ResultsMiami, FL

A breast lift will not create a firmer breast. If your breast tissue is not firm the lift will only improve the shape of the breast, not the firmness. Consult with a few plastic surgeons for an exam in person.Best wishes,Dr.Bruno

a lift will help to tighten skin and firm your breast.  I agree this is more noticeable in the beginning but will always be more firm than where you are now.  As an added bonus a lift will also place your nipples in the correct position and make them a smaller size if they have stretched out over time.  Hope that helps

Breast lift itself will not make the breast firmer, but if you combine with the augmentation to give more volume, you will get perkier, and firmer breasts.  Often breast lift alone does not provide fullness over the upper portion of the breasts, so addicting a small implant to give fullness over the central and upper portion of the breasts would be beneficial, and also make the breasts perkier and firmer.

A breast lift will certainly firm up your breast tissue.  However, it will not change your breast tissue.  Therefore, cases like yours could benefit from an augmentation as well as a lift.  Thank you for your question.

Thank you for your question. By removing the excess tissue during a breast lift your breast will become firm at the beginning after surgery. As your healing process progresses and swelling improves they will become softer and more supple. Hope you get the results you are looking for.
