Would I see any improvement in the appearance of my breasts with BodyTite? (Photo)

Question

I'm 33 years old, 5'0 & 94 lbs, 30a. I've had 2 pregnancies, breastfed, and have had implants removed a few years ago. I have very little fat in the breasts but they are now so low on my chest and the shape is weird after explant. I don't want to do anything with general anesthesia again and am wondering if I'd see any improvement in appearance with BodyTite?

Hello pbp444,
Thank you for your question. 
BodyTite uses radiofrequency energy to tighten skin and stimulate collagen production, which can address laxity to some degree. For a petite patient with small breasts, the skin envelope around the breasts is already limited. After multiple pregnancies, the repeated stretching and shrinking (especially if she breastfed) likely left the tissue loose and less elastic. Severe stretch marks also indicate the skin’s integrity has been compromised. Stretch marks are essentially scars from dermal tearing, and they don’t tighten up, as well as undamaged skin.
Since you are petite with small breasts, there’s probably not a lot of excess fat to target (BodyTite also melts fat), so the focus would be on skin tightening. For small-breasted patients, even a modest 20-30% skin contraction—within BodyTite’s range based on clinical outcomes—might make a noticeable difference in contour and firmness.
I would suggest consulting in person with several experienced Board Certified Surgeons to better understand what is possible. 
Good Luck, 
Adam Kinal MD

Dear pbp444,
my preferred lift is a lollipop lift when a periareolar won't do (ie greater than 2cm lift required). The lollipop technique was created by a Canadian plastic surgeon named Elizabeth Hall-Findley and treats the breast as a three dimensional structure instead of two dimensions (anchor - lift). Most importantly it does not require the horizontal component scars that the anchor-lift requires and breasts appear much more natural, lifted, and less boxy. Lastly, the lift lasts longer because the lollipop doesn't rely on the skin to hold the breast up, its actually breast tissue thats being brought together to support the breast and hence improves longevity. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.
