Laser Breast Lift

Thanks for the question. I do not recommend you undergo this procedure to manage your saggy breasts. In all likelihood you will be dissatisfied with the results as they will not produce a significant lift. Additionally, there is no reshaping of the breast mound provided by a laser procedure, as would experience with a breast lift. In our practice, we utilize skin tightening techniques that are performed in conjunction with formal mastopexies in order to provide a more comprehensive... more

Sciton for tightening of berats

I think this would be a waste of money and have certain risks.Options in clude a peri arealar,ie around the nipple lift with a small implant or just go for an implant to enhance volume but a laser will not do the trick.

Lasers won't tighten your skin significantly to correct breast sagging.

Unfortunately there is no skin treatment available (including lasers) which will tighten the skin of the breasts enough to prevent a breast lift.

Skin Tyte not a solution for saggy breasts

This probably would not be a successful solution. I wish it worked that way but the Sciton only gives minimal tightness and will not create the results you are looking for.

Breast lift

I don't know of any skin tightening laser that would tighten your skin enough to significantly lift your breasts. These gizmos tend to be long on promotion and short on results. Breast lift is one of my favorite procedures because recovery is pretty quick and patients are usually very, very pleased. A "vertical" breast lift leaves scars only around the areola and then a vertical scar from the bottom of the areola to the breast fold. The scars usually... more

Laser for saggy breasts

Good idea but any effect from a skin tightening laser would be minimal and not long lasting.Better to save your money.

Breast Lift with Lasers?

I'm sorry, but I am not aware of any effective treatements of sagging breasts (aka ptosis) with laser therapy. If the sagging is your primary concern, you will need to explore a breast lift. please visit with a board certified plastic surgeon to learn more about your options

Skintyte

I would not advise you to go this route. Results with the laser are very subtle. It will not do what you want.

Laser tightening is not a substitute for breast lift

While laser can have a effect on fine facial lines it is very unlikely that laser treatments of any kind will shrink and tighten the breast skin and lift the breast. I am afraid that breast lift is the only solution. Best of luck, peterejohnsonmd

Will a laser tighten my breasts instead of a lift?

Although laser technology has improved dramatically in the last several years, skin tightening of any body part is still somewhat unpredictable. Also, keep in mind that dropping of your breasts is not only related to skin laxity but also to stretching of the internal ligaments (Cooper's Ligaments). With that in mind, it is doubtful that you will achieve any significant degree of tightening with a laser alone. I hope that helps! see video

No such thing as laser breast lift

No skin tightening laser can fix breast laxity of any degree. If your breasts aren't to lax you can leave then alone but if the laxity progresses you should have a breast lift. That's the only way to get a great lift and reshaping of the breasts.

Lasers cannot correct sagging breasts.

The only way to correct ptosis (sagging breasts) is with surgery. Depending on the amount of fat in the breasts, you may even have to consider implants. Contact a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options. see video

Laser Treatment for Breast Ptosis (Laser Breast Lift)

Although there is evidence that some lasers can tighten the skin in the face and around scars, the amount of tightening is usually not enough to provide a breast lift. The only proven method is a breast lift or mastopexy with or without implants. From El Paso.

Laser tightening for sagging breasts

Although there are a variety of laser tissue-tightening devices available, it is very doubtful that they would provide enough tightening for even a modest breast lift. The problem is usually one of volume loss after pregnancy, (postpartum involution) or significant weight loss associated with stretched out skin with poor elasticity. The treatment, in most cases requires some sort of breast lift with or without an implant to restore volume. Your best bet would be... more

Skin Removal & Tightening Required for Sagging Breasts

I do not feel that there is any laser which is appropriate to treat breast ptosis and that the treatment for this condition always requires excision of some portion of the excess and inelastic skin. I would be very surprised if there is ever a laser available to accomplish this with good longterm benefits.

John Whitt, MD

Lasers cannot repair saggy breasts.

It is unlikely that lasers of any kind tighten the skin very much. I have used lasers and ultrasound and observe very little "tightening" if any at all. If breasts are saggy (ptotic), it is so because of more than loose skin anyway. The deep support structure and loosened as well. A forma operation will be required to fix the problem.

Laser Breastlift

I am not aware of any study on the use of laser skin tightening for a breast lift. My guess is the result might last for the ride home. There are multiple variables in determining the correct breast lift based on your chest wall anatomy and your desired result. I recommend consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to make the best treatment recommendation. All the best Paul S.
