Are you thinking of having a breast lift? Then you most likely want to know how long the results will last. This is a very common question that we at Estetikcentrum get when we meet our patients, and of course we understand why. A breast lift is not only a major investment in your body, but also in your self-esteem. Getting an answer to the question "How long does a breast lift last?" can be crucial to the decision to undergo the surgery or not.
How long does a breast lift last?
So how long does a breast lift last and what durability can you expect? The answer to this question is not always simple, as everyone is individual and has a different lifestyle and body shape. The simplest answer is that a breast lift lasts a very long time, but not forever as the body is constantly changing. The quality of the skin plays a major role in the final result and the durability of a good result.
The purpose of a breast lift is to lift and reshape the breasts so that they sit higher and have a more rounded shape, which in turn gives a firmer and more youthful appearance. However, over the years, the body undergoes changes that can have an impact on the results. The natural ageing of your skin and the loss of collagen usually makes the skin thinner and saggy. Pregnancy, breastfeeding and weight changes can also have an impact on your breasts. In due course, usually (10-15 years), you may need another procedure to maintain the results. But not everyone may need it and remain happy with their breasts.
Don't skimp on aftercare
The results of a breast lift don't end in the recovery room after your surgery. The aftercare and how you take care of your new breasts after surgery is of equal importance for a long-lasting result. At Estetikcentrum , we ensure that you always receive the best and most optimal aftercare to ensure that the results of your breast lift are long-lasting and you have a smooth healing process. However, it is your responsibility to ensure that you follow the instructions and recommendations you receive from the surgeon.
The first few weeks after your surgery can be particularly tough. You may experience bruising, swelling and tenderness in the surgical wound and skin. However, you do not need to worry! We usually offer 2 weeks of sick leave to allow you to recover in peace. After this time, the vast majority of people usually feel well enough to return to normal everyday life.
Summary
A breast lift is a very popular and safe way to reshape the breasts and get an improved firmness and a more youthful look. It is not always a permanent result as pregnancy, breastfeeding or weight loss and normal aging can affect the results over the years. However, the vast majority experience a very long shelf life and with a balanced lifestyle you rarely have to worry about excessive changes. We at Estetikcentrum offer you the best care before, during and after your breast lift. Contact us today and we will help you schedule your first personal appointment with your surgeon.
