Thermage For Breast Lift

Thermage can cause mild skin tightening and can be used for temporary improvement of wrinkles but has no practical application for breast lift.  The changes would be minimal and short lasting.

Thermage would be inappropriate

The only ways to tighten loose breast skin are with a breast lift if the nipple has drifted south or with an implant if the nipple areola are still up in a youthful position.

Thermage for sagging breast.

The equation for droop is too much skin and not enough breast tissue.  Sometimes we put in an implant.  Sometimes we take away skin, (Mastopexy).  Sometimes we do both.  This allows proper nipple placement and restoration of upper pole fullness if desired.  Thermage is not the instrument to use for significant breast droop.

Thermage or laser for breast droopiness or breast lift

I would not advise you to undergo Thermage for any sizable improvement in breast droopiness.  A true breast lift will address skin excess, nipple position, and volume differentials.

Thermage for Breast Lifting

Short answer is NO....best and most dramatic (and reliable) results are achieved with a Mastopexy or breast lift procedure.

Sure, Thermage can be used for sagging and excess skin on the breast, but I can almost guarantee you that your results will be minimal (if your goals are to rej more

Thermage to correct sagging breasts

The best method to correct excess, sagging skin of the breasts is by performing some type of surgical lift. Thermage may have its merits in other applications but may not be of much value to improve the appearance of sagging breasts.

Thermage will not improve sagging breast skin.

  Since the appearance of Thermage, this technology has been looking for problems that may help. Thermage may require multiple sessions and claims to tighten skin. However, it will have little to no effect on the shape of the breast or the skin of the breast. Your best bet is to save your money and discuss options that are safe and effective with a board-certified plastic surgeon. There are many options available today to improve the shape and appearance of your breasts. If you... more

Thermage doesn't work for sagging breasts.

Thermage doesn't work, in my opinion, on anything but expecially on sagging breasts.  There are sometimes options to a formal breast lift but Thermage is not one of them.

Thermage won't work on breast

It is debatable as to whether Thermage tightens anything on the face that lasts. It is not a "tried and true" cure for skin laxity. I would not recommend it particularly on the breast. Best Regards.

Thermage for breast skin tightening has not yet been studied

The effects of thermage on the breast have not been studied.  Therefore I would avoid having this performed. The long term sequela of radiofrequency on the breast is unknown.
