The longevity of a breast lift can vary depending on several factors, including the technique used, individual healing processes, lifestyle factors, and aging. Sadly, a traditional breast lift only lasts about five years, so it’s important to recognize before your surgery that the results aren’t permanent.

While a breast lift doesn’t stop the n ..read more

In July, actors who are part of the Screen Actors Guild and American Federation of ..read more

Breast augmentation is one of the most popular and well-known procedures in plastic surgery. Yet, our perception of it and the results may, in fact, be incorrect.
