How do I know if I am a good candidate for breast surgery?

We evaluate candidacy based on your overall health, breast anatomy, and expectations. Non-smokers with stable weight and no uncontrolled medical conditions typically do well. During your consultation, we discuss your goals honestly, review your medical history, and help you understand whether surgery, non-surgical options, or a combination makes the most sense.

What is recovery like after cosmetic breast surgery?

Most patients can return to light daily activities within a few days, but lifting, exercise, and strenuous tasks must be limited for several weeks. You may experience temporary swelling, tightness, and changes in sensation as your body heals. We provide detailed instructions, follow-up visits, and direct guidance so you know what is normal, what is not, and how to support a smoother recovery.

How long do results from breast surgery typically last?

While results can be long-lasting, no procedure stops the natural aging process. Gravity, weight changes, pregnancy, and time can all affect your breast shape over the years. Regular check-ins with your plastic surgeon, a stable weight, and good skin care can help maintain your outcome, and we can discuss future touch-ups or additional procedures if needed.
