How long does breast reduction last?

Generally, this is a permanent result. If you put on weight or become pregnant then your breasts will increase in size but, on the whole, they will remain small and shapely. You have to allow for the natural effects of the ageing process though. The breasts will start to lose tone, elasticity and will sag but that is common to all women.

If your breasts appear to be uneven following surgery then you may be looking at breast asymmetry surgery to correct this imbalance.

If fluid builds up in the surgical area then further surgery may be required.
