When will breasts settle after breast lift?

I just recently had a breast lift done without implants. This helped reduce sagging DRAMATICALLY, however, my new breasts sit a bit too high for me and look almost too fake for my liking. Will this go away eventually and look more natural?

It can take 4 to 6 months for the breasts to settle after a breast lift. In some individuals it can take as long as a year. I hope this helps. Best wishes, Dr. D.
