Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a breast lift and breast augmentation?
A breast lift (mastopexy) raises and reshapes sagging breasts without changing their size, while breast augmentation increases breast size using implants. These procedures can be combined if you want both increased volume and improved shape. Dr. Nichols will discuss the best approach for your individual goals during your consultation.
Will I lose nipple sensitivity after a breast lift?
Most patients maintain nipple sensitivity after a breast lift, though some temporary changes in sensation may occur during the healing process. Dr. Nichols uses advanced techniques to preserve nerve function and minimize the risk of permanent sensation loss.
Can I breastfeed after a breast lift?
Many women can still breastfeed after a breast lift, though the ability depends on the specific technique used and individual factors. Dr. Nichols will discuss your breastfeeding goals and recommend the best approach to preserve this function when possible.
How long do breast lift results last?
Breast lift results can last many years, though factors such as aging, weight fluctuations, and pregnancy can affect the longevity. Maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle will help preserve your results. Dr. Nichols will provide detailed care instructions to maximize the longevity of your results.
What is the recovery like after a breast lift?
Recovery from a breast lift typically involves 1-2 weeks of rest and limited activity, with most patients returning to light activities within 2-3 weeks. You'll wear a surgical bra for several weeks and should avoid heavy lifting during the initial recovery period. Complete healing and optimal results are typically achieved within 3-6 months.
