The result of a breast lift is permanent because the skin is permanently removed. Generally, a breast lift therefore offers long-lasting results, but unfortunately, it does not guarantee permanent firmness. It is important to remember that the natural aging process continues after the procedure. Your age, weight fluctuations, pregnancies, and general health all affect the firmness of your skin and, consequently, the result of the breast lift.

Although (slight) sagging of the breasts is possible over time, your breasts will still sit much more firmly in place than before the procedure. Therefore, even if your breasts sag slightly, the result remains visible.

The pain after a breast lift is generally well tolerated. The procedure itself is painless thanks to general anesthesia. In the days following the procedure, the breasts mainly feel heavy, swollen, and tight. Many patients compare the post-operative pain to severe muscle pain or a burning sensation. Paracetamol is sufficient to suppress this pain.

Yes, a breast lift will always leave you with scars. The scars may look a bit fiery at first. Over the course of a year, this fiery appearance will disappear and the scars will take on the colour of your skin and will become less visible. Your plastic surgeon will advise you on the use of scar cream during the follow-up check. 

You may resume intensive sports 6 weeks after the procedure. Until then, you should minimize tension and pressure in the chest area, but you can walk, cycle and do light exercises after the first 2 weeks. If in doubt, always consult your plastic surgeon.
