I had a breast lift at age 39, I am now 65. I would like to have this surgery again. Is this a possibility or since it's been done once is it risky to re-do it the second time?
Answer: Second Breast Lift? Thank you for your question! You definitely can have another breast lift. You may need more than one throughout your lift. Find a board certified plastic surgeon who preforms these routinely. Best of luck!Dr Dhaval Patel Double Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Chicago Hoffman Estates Oak Brook

Answer: Repeat Breast Lift Yes, this repeated procedure is definitely possibly considering the work of nature on the body. 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. 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. One key to a satisfying result is realistic expectations.

Answer: Repeat Breast Lifting Possible?
Yes, it is possible to have repeat breast lifting done; this is not an unusual request specially after 28 years. Make sure you're working with are well experienced board-certified plastic surgeon. It is doubtful that you'll be able to obtain previous operative reports, but if you do, this may be helpful.
Best wishes.

Answer: Breast lift (mastopexy) the second time around.
The risk of a second surgery is primarily due to to the blood supply to the nipple and areola. IF your surgical records are available, it would greatly diminish this risk because the surgeon could better plan the approach.

Answer: Secondary breast lift
There are a number of different techniques available for performing a breast lift, although some of the newer ones were not performed when you underwent your initial surgery. Since so much time has elapsed since that surgery, it is most likely that there is sufficient blood supply to the different parts of the breast, especially the nipple and areola, for you to safely undergo another breast lift.
