Saggy Breasts After Weightloss? (photo)

Hi! I've recently lost 20 kg and am wondering what kind of lift i will need? I'm also possibly interested in a small implant to add just a bit more size and volume, but really want to maintain that 'naturael' hang that natural large breasts have.

Breast lift after weight loss

Thank you for your question and for the photo attached. Nice work on the weight loss! This question might get a different and better answer with an in person consultation with a plastic surgeon. Given your stated goals, it might be possible to restore your breast appearance to your satisfaction with an implant alone. Your breasts are rather low set on the chest wall, and that will not change with a lift. Our usual goal with a lift is to set the nipple and areola at a desired height, and... more

Best Breast Lift for Me?

Congratulations on your successful weight loss. I think you will be a good candidate for breast augmentation/lifting surgery. Most likely, the breast lift that will best meet your goals will be a “vertical” mastopexy, involving an incision around the areola and vertically along the lower pole of the breasts. As you know, in order to tighten the skin envelope, skin excision is necessary; this results in the presence of scars. 
Sometimes, the presence of... more
