I have to get a breast lift but I also have stretch marks I want to know how that will affect the appearance
Answer: Erasing the stretchmarks This depends on the location of the stretchmarks in relation to the technique used. If you put a finger under the fold of your breast and go up about an inch higher, this is usually the highest the skin can be removed. If the stretchmarks are above this point, they will remain.

Answer: My Recomendation Deatr thanks for sharing your questions, unfortunaly without an in-person consultation or at least pictures is hard to determine but mostly with the lift strech marks will be erased, but if you lose weight they might be seen again as this kind of marks mostly means your skin is weak. A breast augmentation with implants (can be small ones) and a lift can provide you with long terms results. Make sure you go on consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon. Hope this helps and best of lucks. Dr. Luis Mejia.

Answer: Stretch marks Hello, my name is Igor Burko, and I am a Plastic Surgeon at SY Aesthetics in NYC. A breast lift is not used to improve the appearance of stretch marks. However, depending on the location of the stretch marks, they are sometimes included in the skin that is removed during a breast lift. It is best to consult with a trained plastic surgeon who can examine you and give you their best recommendation for your surgical options.

Answer: Stretch marks are a sign of weakend skin Stretch marks can only completely be removed if the skin but they affect is also removed. If the stretch marks are on the top of your breast as is often the case, it is unlikely they will be completely erased by any kind of breast lift. However, the appearance often improves once the breast is lifted and there is more volume supporting the underlying tissue. Stretch marks are usually a sign that the skin is weakened. So without reducing the weight of the breast and simply lifting it- many standard techniques rely solely on the skin to support the breast tissue. Significant stretch marks on the top of the breast are often a sign that a internal mesh bra or "structural breast lift" will have longer lasting results.

Answer: Breast lift Dear Fantastic750344, it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. It will remove excess skin and lift your breasts so it might also improve some stretch marks. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.
