Frequently asked questions
Who is a good candidate for a breast lift?
Good candidates are those with sagging breasts due to aging, pregnancy, weight fluctuations, or genetics. Ideal candidates should be in good health, non-smokers, and have realistic expectations about the results.
How long does the recovery take?
Recovery varies by individual, but most patients can return to work and light activities within 1-2 weeks. Complete recovery and the final settling of the breasts may take several months.
Will there be scars?
Yes, scars are inevitable with any surgery, but Dr. Awad uses advanced techniques to minimize their appearance. The type of incision used will depend on the extent of the lift required, which could result in different scar patterns.
Can I combine a breast lift with augmentation?
Yes, it’s common to combine breast lift with augmentation for added volume and fullness. Dr. Awad will discuss your options during the consultation to determine the best approach for achieving your desired outcome.
How long do the results last?
While a breast lift offers long-lasting results, it doesn’t stop the aging process. Maintaining a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle can help preserve the outcomes for longer. Pregnancy and significant weight changes after surgery can affect the results.
