There are lots of reasons why women decide it’s time for a breast lift, like signs of ptosis or sagging or to correct asymmetry. One of the most common questions women ask about this procedure is how long does a breast lift last?
Breast lift results can vary, but most women enjoy very long-lasting results for many years to come. There are, however, a few things you can do to help your breast lift results last even longer.*
-
Stay Out of the Sun
This isn’t to say that you can’t enjoy a leisurely trip to the beach or lounge by the pool, but you do want to make sure you’re using sunscreen and giving your skin a break from the sun. The sun’s UV rays can break down the collagen fibers in your skin and therefore contribute to sagging skin and wrinkles.

Get a Good Sports Bra
The effects of gravity are impossible to avoid, but you can give “the girls” an added lift by wearing a supportive sports bra when jogging or exercising. Wearing a good-fitting bra regularly can also help to stave off breast sagging in the future.
There are lots of myths about wearing a bra while you sleep. The truth is sleeping in a bra is completely up to you and what you’re most comfortable with.
-
Avoid Weight Fluctuations
Significant weight fluctuations can also affect your breast lift results. Eating a healthy, balanced diet and exercising regularly can go a long way when it comes to maintaining a stable weight and looking and feeling your best.
