What Can I Expect During a Breast Lift Procedure?
After Dr. Lofman helps you determine your breast lift plan to help you achieve your goals, he will go above and beyond to ensure you experience the most comfortable and enjoyable Michigan breast lift process available. Though Dr. Lofman will customize each surgery, here are some general steps you can expect.
Before Surgery
Plan on arriving at the hospital or surgery center an hour before your procedure. After our team has greeted you and checked you in, Dr. Lofman will ensure you are comfortable, answer any last questions, review relevant details, and perform surgical markings. Once you are resting safely under general anesthesia, Dr. Lofman will begin your Oakland County breast lift.
During Surgery
Depending upon your anatomy and procedural plan, Dr. Lofman will begin by creating the appropriate breast lift incisions to reshape your tissue, remove excess skin, and raise your nipple position. After tightening the remaining tissue, Dr. Lofman layers deep sutures within each breast for support.
Recovery
Breast lifts are an outpatient procedure. Please arrange for someone you trust to drive you home and stay with you for 24 to 48 hours to assist you. Dr. Lofman may write you a prescription for pain medication, which we suggest picking up in advance. For approximately three months following your breast lift, you will need to wear a bra full-time to support your breasts and minimize swelling.
How Soon Will I See My Breast Lift Results?
You can expect to notice an immediate improvement to your overall figure following a breast lift. You may experience bruising and swelling that temporarily obscure their results. New contours will become more noticeable over the next six months as swelling resolves and the body heals.

FAQs
Novi, MI Breast Lift
The cost of a breast lift in Michigan depends on your individual needs. Following your consultation with Dr. Lofman, his team will provide you with a breakdown of the price of your breast lift in Oakland County.
Typically, patients feel more comfortable when they have done a little research into their procedure. Many people bring photos of their ideal results. Dr. Lofman will use these to help you set realistic expectations.
After significant weight loss, patients may experience lost skin elasticity. These women may wish to choose the “internal bra” mesh support with their breast lift procedure.
During your consultation, Dr. Lofman will assess a few factors about your breasts to recommend the ideal procedure or combination of surgeries. Current and desired size play a critical role as well.
Patients should avoid strenuous exercise, lifting heavy objects, and other challenging activities for eight weeks following a breast lift. However, you should begin slowly walking as soon as possible.
A lifting procedure will not alter your breast size; instead, it elevates your breasts on your chest wall for a more youthful-looking profile. If you are concerned about undersized breasts or volume loss, you may consider combining your breast lift with a breast augmentation.
After a breast lift, avoid lifting heavy objects and engaging in strenuous activities for at least 4-6 weeks to prevent complications. Additionally, you should sleep on your back to minimize swelling and avoid smoking, as it can delay healing and increase the risk of complications. Regular follow-up appointments are crucial to ensure proper recovery.
The main disadvantages of a breast lift include the presence of scars, which, while typically fade over time, may never completely disappear. Additionally, some patients may experience changes in nipple or breast sensation, which can be temporary or permanent, and in rare cases, a revision surgery might be necessary to achieve the desired outcome
Full recovery from a breast lift generally takes about 6 to 8 weeks. During this time, it’s important to follow your surgeon’s post-operative care instructions carefully, and while light activities can typically be resumed within 1-2 weeks, more strenuous activities should be avoided until full recovery is achieved.
Breasts typically begin to look more natural about 6 to 12 weeks after a breast lift as the swelling decreases and the tissues settle into their new positions. Over this period, scars also begin to fade, and the final shape of the breasts becomes more apparent.
A breast lift typically results in a reduction of about half a cup size, as excess skin is removed and the breast tissue is tightened. However, the primary goal of a breast lift is to enhance the shape and position of the breasts, rather than significantly alter their size.
Swelling after a breast lift usually lasts for about 2 to 3 weeks, with the majority of the swelling subsiding within the first few weeks. However, minor swelling can persist for several months as the breasts continue to heal and settle.
You can typically start raising your arms comfortably about 2 weeks after a breast lift. However, it’s advisable to avoid any overhead lifting or strenuous arm movements for at least 4 to 6 weeks to ensure proper healing and to avoid putting strain on the surgical sites.
