Will a breast lift alone remove the visual of wrinkly breast skin? Or do I need implants or laser treatments? (photos)

Question

I do not mind the stretch marks, I'm worried that the wrinkles will still be there post breast lift. Do I absolutely need to get implants to have normal looking skin? Do I have to get laser treatments?

You are an excellent candidate for a lift using 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.  Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) 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.

You need a formal evaluation by a licensed plastic surgeon and expert in breast lifts, revisions and augmentations to determine what is best for you and your goals.
Breast lift surgery can improve a woman's breast shape by repositioning the breast mound at a higher position on the chest and then centering the nipple and areola on the breast itself. If there is enough breast tissue, I can perform a highly aesthetic mastopexy without the addition of further volume by internally rearranging the breast tissue and removing excess skin. If more volume is needed, especially in the upper portion of the breasts, we will discuss the possibility of fat grafting or silicone gel implant placement. The type of incision required for this surgery (circumareolar, “lollipop” or “anchor”) and the lifespan of the lift depends on each patient’s condition, breast tissue, genetics, weight and hormonal fluctuations, and desired results. 
Augmentation with mastopexy is a challenging surgery that requires significant experience to create a shape that is youthful, natural, and proportionate to the body, while managing the native tissue as well as fat grafts or implants. When performed properly, it can result in a dramatic improvement to a woman’s breast appearance.
I suggest consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon and expert in Breast Lifts. - Dr. Cohen

The breast lift will improve the shape and appearance of your breasts, but most of the stretchmarks and wrinkles will remain. Placing a small implant will not stretch the skin to remove all the wrinkles but may lessen the visibility of smaller ones.

Thank you for your question.
The best option for you would be a lift (Mastopexy) with small Implants. If you do not wish to have Implants, Autologous Breast Augmentation will also be helpful, both for the volume and improving the quality of skin. I often add Thermi Tight procedure to tighten the skin and improve the texture. Please find an experienced Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who can examine you and help you with all your concerns. All The Best !

Dear mihalkokai,
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 thatsbeing brought together to support the breast and hence improves longevity.
If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.
