In the immediate aftermath of breast lift surgery in Boston, you’ll notice that incisions are visible and may appear red, raised, or swollen. Over time, these scars will gradually fade and flatten. Breast lift surgery, like any surgical procedure, does result in some scarring. However, with proper care and time, these scars can often fade significantly, becoming far less noticeable. Most patients consider the results of a breast lift procedure to be so rewarding that minor, barely visible scars do not bother them.

A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure aimed at elevating and reshaping the breasts to restore a more youthful and perky appearance. It involves removing excess skin, tightening breast tissue, and repositioning the nipple-areola complex. In contrast, breast augmentation involves the use of implants to increase breast size and volume. While breast lifts primarily address sagging and improve breast shape, breast augmentation focuses on enhancing breast size.
A breast lift primarily addresses breast sagging and reshapes the breasts to create a more youthful contour. While some patients may experience a slight increase in breast size due to tissue tightening, the primary goal is to lift and rejuvenate, not to significantly increase breast size. If you desire both a lift and an increased size, we may recommend combining a breast lift with breast augmentation.
Recovery after a breast lift typically involves several weeks of healing. You may experience initial swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed pain medication. It is recommended to wear a surgical bra 24/7 for several weeks to support the healing process. Strenuous activities should be avoided for at least two weeks to prevent complications. The most significant improvement is usually seen around six weeks post-procedure, with individual recovery times varying.
Breast lift surgery does result in some scarring. However, with proper care and time, these scars can often fade significantly and become less noticeable. Your surgeon will use various incision techniques to minimize scarring as much as possible. Many patients find that the rejuvenated appearance of their breasts outweighs any concerns about scarring.
The results of a breast lift are long-lasting, and many patients enjoy the benefits for many years. However, it’s important to note that breast aging can continue over time. Pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight fluctuations, and natural aging may affect breast appearance. Maintaining a stable weight and following a healthy lifestyle can help prolong the longevity of your breast lift results.
Breast lift surgery can often be combined with other procedures to achieve comprehensive enhancements. Common combinations include breast augmentation for increased size and volume, tummy tuck for body contouring, or facial procedures such as eyelid surgery or facelift for a stunning face and body transformation. Our surgeon will discuss the possibilities during your consultation to help you achieve your desired aesthetic goals.
