How Long Will It Take for Breast Tissue to Settle After Breast Lift Revision?

Had revision breast lift in one breast & scar revision in 1/2011. 1st lift was performed 12/2009. First surgery left me quite asymmetrical. Right breast measured 21 cm from sternal notch while the left measured 19 cm. I'm extremely worried that the breast that was relifted appears way too high. The surgeon's nurse explained that he "tacked" my breast tissue to my chest wall because that is his technique. First surgeon never did any tacking. Is it too early for me to panic about my results?!

A: Assymetry after a breast lift

Asymmetry after a breast lift is very common.  Give your procedure six to eight weeks and then reassess.  Skin laxity and shape can change significantly in the first few weeks.

Wishing you all the best.

Advice for Sagging Breasts After Weight Loss?

I am 29 and have recently lost 100 lbs. I have always had large breasts (46 DDD) now that I have lost the weight I feel so insecure, my chest is saggy and looks like giant rasins. I have always loved my large chest. Now I wear a 38 DDD, the cup size didn't go down, but my skin is just loose and gross. I still want very large brests. The rest of my body is responding nicely to all my working out. I want to be excited about my weight loss. Do you have advice?

A: massive weight loss and breast restoration

First of all, congratulations.  It takes a great deal of determination and discipline to lose all of that weight.  It sounds like you will require a rather large implant and then a breast lift.  I recommend under the muscle and a vertical lift.  You may want to consider the so-called "mommy make-over".  This is a breast and body procedure to rejuvenate you and give you an entirely new appearance.

Best,

Sagging, Uneven Breasts After Weight Loss - Surgical Options?

I lost 50 pounds this year and am concerned now that my breasts are not even, and they sag. what procedures would be recommended that cause the least amount of scarring? I am not concerned with breast size, but i would like more fulness up top. PLEASE HELP!

A: Sagging breasts after weight loss

There are numerous options for this surgery.  Essentially you will require an implant and then some procedure to place the nipple in the proper position.  I prefer a larger implant to build on, as long as the larger breast size is acceptable to you.  Once you have more volume the placement of the nipple is somewhat easier and less scarring will result.  Without an implant the proper placement of the nipple will require more incisions, and hence more scars.

Best,
