Recovery from breast augmentation or a breast lift involves a period of rest and gradual activity to allow your body to heal properly. Most patients experience swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort in the first few days, which can be managed with prescribed medication. Light movement is encouraged to support circulation, but strenuous activity, heavy lifting, and exercise should be avoided for several weeks. Many patients can return to work within 1–2 weeks, with full results becoming visible as swelling subsides and tissues settle. Following post-operative instructions closely helps ensure a smooth recovery and long-lasting, natural-looking results.
We know every patient’s vision is unique. Our team at Ottawa Derm Surgery Centre works closely with you to achieve breast augmentation results that reflect your goals, while providing a supportive, reassuring experience from consultation to recovery.

What is a Breast Augmentation and/or Lifting?
Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure designed to enhance the size, shape, and fullness of the breasts. Using implants or fat transfer, it can restore volume lost due to pregnancy, weight changes, or natural aging, helping create a balanced and natural-looking silhouette.
A breast lift, also known as mastopexy, addresses sagging by removing excess skin and repositioning breast tissue to achieve a firmer, more youthful contour. These procedures can be performed individually or together, depending on your goals, and are personalised to your body to provide natural, long-lasting results while boosting confidence and comfort.
Who is a good candidate for a Breast Augmentation and/or Lifting?
A good candidate for breast augmentation or a breast lift is someone in overall good health who wants to improve the shape, size, or position of their breasts. Ideal candidates may have lost volume or experienced sagging due to pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight changes, or natural aging. Candidates should have realistic expectations, be at or near a stable weight, and be non-smokers or willing to temporarily stop smoking to support healing. These procedures can help restore a youthful, balanced breast contour and enhance confidence, comfort, and overall satisfaction with your appearance.
