What are the risks and complications associated with a breast lift?

Steve Fallek (Plastic Surgeon & Medical Director, Face Focus Medical Spa, New York City) gives expert video advice on: Who can get a breast lift?; Who should not get a breast lift?; Is a breast lift painful? and more...

The concerns regarding breast lifts are, firstly, scarring: where those incisions are going to be made and what the scars will look like. With a breast lift, the scars can usually be held to a minimum, if there is an excess of skin. Other complications and concerns with breast lifts include asymmetry, or making sure that both the breasts look roughly the same in size. Other concerns include nipple or partial skin loss, which is usually treated conservatively without further surgery.
