A breast lift, or mastopexy, can improve the appearance of sagging breasts, but it’s important to be aware of potential risks.

Common Risks

• Scarring: Visible scars are a common outcome, although they often fade over time. The extent of scarring can depend on the surgical technique used and individual healing processes.

• Infection: As with any surgery, there is a risk of infection, which can be minimized with proper post-operative care. Following your surgeon’s care instructions is crucial to prevent infections.

• Changes in Sensation: Temporary or permanent changes in nipple or breast sensation. This can vary from increased sensitivity to numbness.

Less Common Risks

• Poor Wound Healing: In some cases, the wound may heal poorly or take longer to heal. Factors like smoking or certain medical conditions can increase this risk.

• Asymmetry: Slight asymmetry in breast shape or nipple position. This can sometimes occur due to differences in healing or natural asymmetry.
