I am 22 on a weight loss journey with average size breast still but I know once I lose weight they’ll sag more and get smaller but I have nipple piercings. Will I be able to keep them once I decide to get my implants and lift? And should you wait to lose weight before getting this type of surgery?
Answer: Nipple piercings It is possible to get a breast lift and implants with nipple piercings. However, it would be safer if you remove your metal piercings during your surgery to reduce the risk of burns. I always remove piercings in the field of surgery so the area can be completely sterilized. It’s always a good idea to wait until you’ve reached your stable goal weight before getting a lift, since weight loss after surgery can negatively affect your results.

Answer: Nipple piercings Thank you for your question and congratulations on your weight loss so far. It is best to lose all of your weight prior to surgery for the best results. You would also want to have your nipple piercings out on the day of surgery but you could have them re-inserted after you are healed from your surgery. It is best that you meet with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your wishes. Good luck!

Answer: Can you get a breast lift with implants with nipple piercings? The nipple piercings can be removed prior to surgery and replaced post-operatively. The prudent thing to do would be to loose the weight before the BL with implants. Otherwise, your breasts may not match the rest of your anatomy and may be smaller and droopier than you desire.

Answer: The Bellesoma Lift with fat transfer Unfortunately, you have not provided photographs or told us your bra size. If you are large and require weight loss, your breasts will sag and you may have enough volume for a breast lift without implants. Implants are not lifetime devices and half are removed by 9.5 years. An alternative would be a lift and fat transfers. The technique I recommend is The Bellesoma Method. This will reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. The weight of the breast is transferred to the underlying pectoralis major muscle resulting in pain relief and long term stability. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation and the ability to breast feed are maintained. At the same time or later, fat transfers can be performed if additional volume is desired.Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.
