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

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

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.
