Recovering From a Breast Lift at SF | Bay Area Plastic Surgery

After breast lift surgery, patients can go home the same day but should have an adult stay with them for 24 hours after surgery to monitor their recovery. The recovery period ranges from 3 days to 1 week. Most patients feel very well with 4-5 days, but strenuous activity should be avoided for 2 to 3 weeks. Stitches are removed a week to 10 days after breast lift surgery. Any post-operative pain, swelling, and/or sensitivity will commonly diminish over the first few weeks. Finally, scars from breast lift incisions begin to fade in a few months and continue to fade for months or years to come.

Dr. Fazilat will schedule a follow-up post-recovery office visit in Morgan Hill or Mountain View, California to discuss your progress.

Breast Lift FAQs

Will a breast lift change my cup size?

A lift redistributes and reshapes tissue without adding volume, so most patients wear a similar cup size but with a higher, rounder shape. Some notice a slight decrease due to removing stretched skin.

Can a breast lift correct areola size or asymmetry?

Yes. The areola can be resized and centered during a lift, and side-to-side differences can be adjusted for better symmetry.

Do I need implants with my breast lift for upper fullness?

A lift improves position and shape, but if you want more upper-pole fullness or a larger size, adding an implant or fat transfer can help. Your surgeon can show simulations for each option.

Can a lift fix ‘side boob’ or tissue near the armpit?

A lift focuses on the breast mound. Excess lateral tissue is often addressed with limited liposuction or direct excision for a cleaner side contour.

How will a breast lift affect future mammograms?

You can still get mammograms. Tell the imaging center you’ve had a lift so they can use positioning techniques to obtain clear views.

Is a breast lift safe if I plan to get pregnant later?

It’s safe, but pregnancy and breastfeeding can stretch the skin again and may reduce longevity of the result. If possible, consider timing your lift after children.

Will I be able to breastfeed after a lift?

Many patients can, but it isn’t guaranteed. Techniques that preserve gland and duct connections improve the chances. Discuss your goals with your surgeon.

What type of scars should I expect and how do I minimize them?

Scars follow the chosen incision pattern and typically fade over 6–12 months. Silicone therapy, sun protection, and scar care protocols help them mature discreetly.
