I'm a side sleeper and I can't seem to break the habit. I sleep with bunched up socks between my cleavage but it doesn't seem to help I'm wondering if I should get a lift. I need it anyway and was planning on getting one in a few years but now I'm thinking I should just do it now before my wrinkles get worse. I have 520cc implants that are only two years old they are way too low so I'm thinking I should just get the lift .

Answer: Breast ptosis and chest wrinkles While a breast lift can change the shape and contour of the breasts, making them sit higher and perkier, it will not address the skin wrinkles. The best way to address the chest wrinkles is with a series of laser treatments, whether or not you do the lift. For rejuvenating the decollete, I often treat patients with IPL laser to clear up the sun damage or brown spots, and the Palomar 1540 (non-ablative fractionated Erbium laser) to resurface the skin. The Palomar 1540 will stimulate collagen while also smoothing the surface. Each of those requires a series of 4+ treatments for optimal results, and they can be done in a combination treatment. You also want to protect the area from sun exposure. Most people remember to use sunscreen on the face, but neglect the neck and decollete. Regarding the lift, based on the photos you would be a candidate for a full lift. It appears you have some asymmetry also (unless it is just distortion from the photo), that can be addressed during the same procedure.

Answer: Lift I lift will only minimally assist with wrinkles in the décolletage area. I recommend an in-office examination as well as a detailed discussion with a surgeon who you are comfortable with. Finally, make sure your surgeon is a Double-Board Certified Plastic Surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS), a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgery (ASPS) and the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS).Best,Dr. DesaiBeverly Hills Institute for Aesthetic Plastic SurgeryHarvard Educated, Beverly Hills & Miami Beach TrainedDouble Board-Certified Beverly Hills Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Chest wrinkles Dear 30mommyx3,based on your photos, breast lift won't help you with wrinkles on upper chest area. Regarding the breast lift, determining whether you need simply a breast augmentation versus a breast lift can be somewhat complicated. It depends on a number of factors including skin laxity and current nipple position. Generally speaking, if the nipples are lower than the inframammary line the patient will most likely need a breast lift. If the nipples are at or above the inframammary line we can generally get by with just a breast augmentation depending on the size of the implant the patient wants. I often still using implant when I perform a breast lift because it provides more upper breast fullness after the lift. To be sure a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon will help determine what the patient actually needs.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS

Answer: Breast lift will not help wrinkles in decollete While it is true that you may need a lift, it will not help the type of wrinkles that you have in your upper chest (decollete.) Ultherapy is FDA-approved for treating that area and will be more likely to give you results. When you do the lift, consider an internal bra with Galaflex mesh because your implants are on the large side and that fact that they are dropping means extra support may be needed.
