After the procedure, patients are advised to wear a special supportive bra for a few weeks to aid healing. Swelling, bruising, and discomfort are common in the initial recovery phase, which typically lasts about 1 to 2 weeks. Full recovery can take several months as the breast tissue heals and the final shape becomes apparent.

A breast lift can provide long-lasting results, though natural aging and gravity will continue to affect the breasts over time. The procedure does not significantly change breast size but focuses on improving shape and position. Some patients may opt for a breast lift in combination with breast augmentation (implants) or reduction to achieve their desired aesthetic.
