Will a Breast Lift Help Correct Rippling?

i had a breast lift with breast augmentation revision about 3 weeks ago to remove some scar tissue. I also went down in size slightly from mod profile plus 500ccs to 457ccs same profile. I had some rippling in the clevage area and was told that a lift would help resolve the rippling issue. however i could still see some slight rippling now. Will this resolve on its own as i continue to heal or will i need to correct with alloderm?

A: Ripples and Wrinkles after Breast Lift and Breast Augmentation Revision

As was mentioned previously, the most important issues concerning wrinkling and rippling in the upper portion of the breasts after breast augmentation surgery is the thickness of the breast skin and breast tissues (coverage) in that area.  A key question is where the implants are placed.  In patients with thin coverage, we recommend that the implants are place behind the muscle to minimize rippling/wrinkling.  If you have them above the muscle, then this might be a consideration for you.  Otherwise, you may consider procedures which thicken the coverage, either AlloDerm or fat grafting (a technique which Dr. Del Vecchio is an expert in) can help.  Finally, another question is the type of implant--saline or silicone.  I am assuming that you have silicone implants; but if not, then I would recommend that you have them switched to silicone implants for several reasons, including amelioration of your rippling.  Good luck with achieving your goals.

Anchor Breast Lift Scar?

How does an anchor breast lift scar feel like? Is it normally a raised scar?

A: Anchor breast lift scar depends on how you heal.

Some breast scars heal so well that after a year you do not really see them. Unfortunately others can heal slightly darker and raised. Sometimes you have great healing and raised healing on the same person in different spots. That being said there are things we can do to help the healing process such as silicone dressings. I also feel that the Fraxel laser we have in the office really helps decrease scar thickness and color.

Topical Cream for Lifting Breasts?

Is there any cream to lift the breast? I workout and that's the reason my boobs got very loose. Should I leave the gym or is there a cream I can apply to keep it from dropping? I'm using VLCC bust shaper but it's not working. Can anyone recommend me any cream? I'm 22 years of age.

A: No cream will lift sagging breasts.

It would be amazing if a cream could lift our breasts, but it does not exist. The ads for these creams are misleading. There are many reasons for breasts to sag and the only treatment is either a good bra or surgery. Do not stop going to the gym. Your overall health is very important. You should see a plastic surgeon and discuss your concerns. Stop waisting money on creams. You will always be disappointed.
