Your Guide to a Breast Lift: Restore, Rejuvenate, and Feel Confident
A breast lift (mastopexy) is more than just a cosmetic breast procedure—it’s a way to reclaim confidence in your body. Whether you’ve experienced changes from pregnancy, weight loss, or aging, a breast lift can restore a youthful, perky shape by removing excess skin and reshaping your breast tissue.
At Bombshelled Aesthetics, Dr. Pamela Brownlee specializes in personalized breast lift procedures designed to create natural, long-lasting results that complement your body. If you’re considering a breast lift, here’s everything you need to know about the procedure, recovery, and long-term results.
How Long Will My Breast Lift Results Last?
A breast lift provides immediate, beautifully rejuvenated plastic surgery results—but like any cosmetic procedure, results evolve over time. While a lift cannot stop the natural aging process, there are ways to keep your breasts looking perky and youthful for years.
Factors That Influence Longevity:
⏳ Aging & Gravity – Over time, skin naturally loses elasticity, but a breast lift delays sagging for years.
⚖️ Lifestyle & Weight Stability – Major weight fluctuations can affect results, so maintaining a consistent weight is key.
👙 Supportive Bras – Wearing a well-fitted bra (especially during workouts) helps preserve your shape.
☀️ Skin Care & Sun Protection – Protecting your skin keeps it firm and healthy long-term.
Dr. Brownlee uses advanced surgical techniques to maximize the longevity of your lift, ensuring your results look natural and beautiful for as long as possible.
How Long Does It Take for Breast Lift Incisions to Heal?
Healing from a breast lift is part of the journey, and with proper care, your incisions will fade beautifully over time.
🔹 First Few Weeks: Incisions are covered with surgical glue, which naturally flakes off as healing progresses.
🔹 Scar Care Begins: Around 3 weeks, Dr. Brownlee provides a personalized scar care regimen, including sun protection and treatments to minimize visibility.
🔹 Water Exposure: Avoid baths, pools, and hot tubs for at least 6 weeks to prevent irritation.
🔹 Long-Term Healing: Scars mature over 12 months, becoming flatter and blending into your skin tone.
Dr. Brownlee is with you every step of the way, providing expert care and personalized guidance to ensure a smooth, comfortable recovery and beautifully healed plastic surgery results.
How Should I Sleep After a Breast Lift?
Your sleeping position plays a huge role in your comfort and healing after surgery.
✔️ Sleep on Your Back: Keep your upper body elevated (30 to 45 degrees) using pillows or a wedge pillow to reduce swelling.
✔️ Avoid Sleeping on Your Stomach or Sides: This can put pressure on healing tissue and affect your results.
✔️ Gradual Return to Side Sleeping: With Dr. Brownlee’s approval, you can slowly transition back once healing allows.
Making these temporary adjustments helps protect your results and ensures a smooth recovery.
Can I Get Pregnant After a Breast Lift?
Yes! A breast lift does not affect your ability to conceive, but pregnancy can impact your results over time.
Things to Consider:
🤰 Pregnancy-Related Changes – Hormonal shifts, weight gain, and breastfeeding can alter breast shape and skin elasticity, potentially affecting the longevity of your lift.
🍼 Breastfeeding After a Lift – Many women can still breastfeed after a breast lift, but depending on the technique used and individual anatomy, milk production may be reduced.
⏳ Timing Matters – If you’re planning a pregnancy soon, discuss the best timing for your procedure with Dr. Brownlee to ensure long-lasting results.
🔄 Post-Pregnancy Touch-Ups – If desired, a revision or enhancement can refresh your results later on.
If you’re considering a breast lift before or after pregnancy, Dr. Pamela Brownlee will help you navigate the best approach to ensure you achieve your desired look while keeping your future plans in mind.
Should I Combine a Breast Lift with Augmentation?
If you want perkier and fuller breasts, a breast lift with augmentation may be the best choice!
🔹 Breast Lift Alone – Lifts and reshapes without increasing volume.
🔹 Breast Lift + Augmentation – Adds fullness and shape using implants or fat transfer.
Key Benefits of Combining Procedures:
✔️ One Surgery, One Recovery – Saves time by avoiding a second procedure later.
✔️ Fully Customizable Results – Get the lift, shape, and volume that best suits your body.
✔️ More Youthful & Proportioned Look – Lifting the breast while restoring lost volume enhances balance and symmetry.
Dr. Brownlee personalizes every procedure to match your body proportions and desired look, ensuring natural, beautiful results that match your goals.
