The two questions
Before anything else
Recovery and cost decide whether breast lift is possible for you at all. Everything else on this page assumes you have answered these two.
Recovery
Most patients return to desk work within a week and resume exercise in 4 to 6 weeks.
Cost
The average surgeon fee is $6,816.
That figure is the latest ASPS statistic , and it is the surgeon's fee alone. Anesthesia and the facility are billed on top, and your city moves the total.
Before you book
What should I ask at a consultation?
Ask about board certification, scar patterns, and how the result changes with future pregnancy or weight change.
We check board certification against public board data and publish the source and the date on every profile. It is free for every surgeon and it is never for sale.
Common questions
What people ask about breast lift
- Lift, implants, or both?
- A lift changes position and shape. Implants change size and upper fullness. Many patients combine them, and a consultation sorts out which applies to you.
- Will a lift change my cup size?
- A lift alone usually keeps your size close to the same while improving shape and position.
