After Surgery - Breast Lift

The elastic bandage is worn for about a week, and sutures and drains are removed at that time.  Most patients are quite swollen and bruised, so the results from Mastopexy won’t be seen for a few weeks.  While there is some pain following surgery, most patients can be back at work within 5 to 7 days.  It takes much longer for the final result to become apparent; usually several months.

Almost all patients are extremely pleased with their decision to undergo surgery.  Your decision to have a breast lift is a highly personal one and one that not everyone will understand.  The important thing is how you feel about it.  If the procedure results meet your pre-operative goals, then your surgery is truly a success.
