When they pull my skin down to remove the excess during Tummy Tuck, will this pull my breasts down as well?
Answer: Movement of the breasts with a tummy tuck This is a very good question, and the answer is yes! Although, they won't be moved down much. This is particularly important when you get tummy tuck at the same time as a tummy tuck because the incisions to place the implants may become more noticeable after the tummy tuck. However, with just a tummy tuck your breast shape shouldn't change too dramatically.

Answer: Breasts should not pull down with tummy tuck It would be very unusual for the breast to be pulled down from a tummy tuck. The breast fold is a very well defined structure in most patients and this should not be disrupted during a tummy tuck. It is possible to move the breast fold during breast surgery, so this should be discussed with your Plastic Surgeon if you are having a combined procedure. The inframammary fold, or breast fold, is where the breast skin is attached to the strong connective tissue underneath the breast, along the lower rib cage. This may be intentionally altered during breast augmentation, breast lifts or other types of reconstruction of the breast. It is also possible to change this fold inadvertently during any breast surgery, but not likely during a tummy tuck.

Answer: Your breast crease may come down slightly when doing a tummy tuck. Yes, ti will pull it down but this is not usually noticed by the patient. Typically the crease may be pulled down more than the breast itself. For this reason, when breast augmentations are performed at the same time as a tummy tuck, I may place the incision slightly higher on the breast to compensate for the "pulling down" effect.

Answer: Change in breasts after tummy tuck The breast fold (inframammary fold) will likely not change after a tummy tuck. Most dissection during a tummy tuck does not extend as high up to have any noticeable effect on the breast position. Even if a patient has laxity of their upper chest wall near the breast fold, a tummy tuck has only minor effect on the breasts. Most patients will never notice such a change.
