Full Tummy Tuck Pulled my Breast Down As Well!

It would be unusual for the breasts to be pulled done very much after a tummy tuck. But, if your surgeon performed dissection too high and violated the breast fold, the breasts can theoretically be pulled down during a tummy tuck. The upper limits of a tummy tuck dissection should be the ribs. You should specifically discuss this issue with your surgeon. If the breast fold was disrupted, it is very difficult to correct and may require surgical intervention. Wearing a supportive bra will not help. It is also possible that the breasts are not really pulled down very much. A photographe would be helpful to us and I am sure your surgeon will review your pre op photos with you.

You should discuss this situation with your surgeon and see if it is swelling that is causing this.  I would follow his/her recommendations and avoid puliling on the area. 

Sometimes in weight loss patients, it is possible to pulled down the breast fold a bit without undermining due to the laxity associated with the weight loss.

Dear Gia,

As you are less than 2 weeks out from your tummy tuck surgery, the result you see is not the final one.  Over the next few weeks to months your tummy tissue will become less swollen and improve in elasticity.  This alone may improve the changes that you see in your breasts.  Further, it is unlikely that the tummy tuck surgery was continued to the area underneath your breasts; thus, it is unlikely for you to have any permanent changes.  Your best next step is to make the surgeon aware of this issue and give you guidance.  Best wishes with your endeavor.

Your surgery was 2 weeks ago and the final result may be different. Please discuss your concerns with your surgeon and without pictures it is hard to give you good answer.
