 Recovery after a breast lift usually takes around 2 to 4 weeks, depending on your healing process and the extent of surgery.

Most patients can return to light work within a week, while strenuous activities and exercise should be avoided for at least 4 to 6 weeks. You may experience mild swelling, soreness, or tightness during the first few weeks, which gradually subsides.

Wearing a supportive surgical bra, avoiding heavy lifting, and following your surgeon’s care instructions help ensure smooth healing and optimal results.
