What is the recovery from mastopexy like?
It all depends on if breast implants are used. If the breast lift is performed in conjunction with breast implant placement, the recovery time is similar to a breast augmentation (about 1.5-2 weeks). If no implants are used, the recovery can be closer to a week, although this varies per individual. Most patients wear a special support bra for 3 weeks after surgery. During a consultation, Dr. Youn will determine with you what type of breast lift would be optimal for you. Unfortunately, insurance plans do not pay for cosmetic breast lift surgery.
