A vampire breast lift (VBL) is a procedure to improve (augment) the look of your breasts if surgery isn’t yet warranted. VBL uses injections of platelet-rich plasma (PRP). This procedure is also known as a PRP breast lift.

​

What is platelet-rich plasma (PRP)?

Platelet-rich plasma comes from your blood. PRP contains proteins that promote blood clotting and help with cell growth.

Providers separate PRP from the rest of your blood in a centrifuge, a machine that spins your blood at high speeds. The centrifuge separates your blood into three components:

• Platelet-rich plasma.

• White blood cells.

• Red blood cells.

​

Why is a vampire breast lift done?

People may opt for a PRP breast lift if a surgical breast lift isn’t yet warranted. Providers who inject PRP into their patients’ breasts claim that it:

• Increases elastin (a protein that allows tissue to stretch).

• Promotes growth of collagen (a protein that provides structure to your body).

• Stimulates new cell growth.

 

A vampire breast lift may help to:

• Improve skin texture and tone.

• Make your breasts look lifted and fuller.

• Reduce the look of wrinkles, stretch marks and scars.

 

The injections generally take about 20 minutes. The entire procedure usually lasts less than an hour.

​

What is the recovery time after a PRP breast lift?

After a PRP breast lift, you may notice your breasts becoming gradually firmer and smoother over a period of three to four weeks. Final results may not appear for two to three months. Any changes can last up to two years.
