Breast Implants Years After Breast Reduction?

Over time, gravity will continue to have an effect and the breast skin will tend to stretch. The degree of stretching and #sagging varies between women: generally, women with smaller breasts experience less recurring sagging. Genetics, aging, pregnancies, and changes in weight are also factors to consider since your #BreastLift.  If sagging does occur, further excision of the skin on an outpatient basis can be used to correct the problem. Heavy and large breasts may lead to recurrent sagging and may require the removal of a small amount of breast tissue to achieve an optimal shape and size. Some patients will have a better shape to their breast such as increased superior fullness if an implant or a fat transfer is applied during their #mastopexy. One key to a satisfying result of your #BreastLift is realistic #expectations. Call and visit your Plastic Surgeon to discuss your concerns about the #duration of results.

We occasionally see patients
who underwent breast reduction surgery when they were younger.With normal aging, weight fluctuations, and
pregnancy, they have lost additional breast volume, upper breast fullness, and have
developed recurrent breast sag.Under
these circumstances, they often request additional breast surgery.In your case, your picture suggests loss of breast
volume, recurrent sag, loss of upper breast fullness, and asymmetry.Under these circumstances, revisional surgery
can address these issues and ultimately improve your aesthetic appearance.Since you have already had breast reduction, revisional
surgery could be done without creating additional scars.In this situation, it’s reasonable to perform
a combination breast augmentation, breast lift procedure.This procedure can provide volume and upper
breast fullness.It would also improve
your scars, correct your asymmetry, and lift your breasts into normal
position.These changes would ultimately
improve your overall aesthetic result.If you’re considering revisional breast surgery, it’s
appropriate to consult a board certified plastic surgeon with experience in
this area.This plastic surgeon can
formulate a treatment plan that addresses your anatomic findings and achieves
your aesthetic goals.

Dear beverlyhillsmom,Thanks for your question, and attached image.It appears from your stated concerns that you would benefit from a breast augmentation, with a possible adjustment of your prior breast reduction.  No additional scars should be expected.This should provide a marked improvement in the upper pole breast fullness, and even nipples.Thank you, Sergio Pasquale Maggi, MD, FACSAustin Plastic Surgery Centerdrmaggi.com
