BodyTite breast lift? (Photo)

Question

Hi!! I have considered getting a surgical breast lift, but haven't followed through due to the uncertainty of the procedure when it comes to breastfeeding abilities in the future. I have been looking into the bodytite breast lift procedure, do you think I am a good candidate? I don't expect to have the same results as a surgical lift, but looking for a solution in the short term. I don't mind the size of my breasts, but the sag is something that really bothers me. Thanks for the help!

It may be possible to achieve patient satisfaction with mild breast ptosis and loose skin using BodyTite, but if you have Grade 3 Ptosis, it seems unlikely to obtain results without lifting the nipple upward and tightening the tissue from the inside. Thank you for your question

Thank youo for your question and the photos. The lateral shows how much excess fullness there is below the IMF and the frontal view shows that there is no inferior skin seen below the areolar border. BodyTite in the breast (BreastTite) can't fix that. I think that a traditional lift with the use of mesh like GalaFlex or Durasorb could give you a great result. The majority of the ducts leading to the nipple areolar complex area spared and breast feeding should be possible. About 30% of women cannot breast feed for a variety of reasons, so there are not guarantees. I would be more concerned about how large your breasts are going to get w/ pregnancy and how much stress that will put on your neck and back. Best of Luck!

Based on the submitted photos, the degree of ptosis is too significant for BodyTite.  A breast lift is recommended.  You could consider autoaugmentation which uses your own tissue to give you more upper pole fullness without implants. There is a risk that future breastfeeding ability could be affected with any breast surgery that is performed.

Hello and thank you for the question and the photos. Based on your photos a full surgical breast lift would be required. There are many non-surgical or less invasive options that are currently on the market and being offered however most of these options are providing minimal benefit given the costs and risks. Although you might experience some improvement you will still have sagging. It's sort of like having a flat tire and filling it with air but only putting a little bit of air in the tire at the end of all of that work you still have saggy breasts and a out of pocket expense in the thousands of dollars.

Your best option would be to undergo a full surgical breast lift. Understand that after a breast lift or breast reduction the ability to breastfeed is compromised however future breastfeeding will also lead to sagging of the breast. You might want to consider having children first then do the breast lift or have the breast lift first and opt for formula feeding as an option.

Although many non surgical options are very tempting to consider the real world results tend to be disappointing or nonexistent at best. These companies often market heavily towards the idea of less invasive options less scarring, no need for anesthesia. However the trade off tends to be not what patients expected given their aggressive marketing strategies

As always it is best to be healthy seek several consultations with board certified plastic surgeons before making any decisions

Best to you

Thank you for your photographs. The body tight procedure will be totally inadequate to solve your problem. The effective solution will be a wise pattern mastopexy.

You might consider autologous augmentation and downsizing just a bit.

Good luck.

The breast tissue has very little connective tissue, which is what responds to the radio frequency energy from body, tite, or Renuvion. Breast lifts have been attempted many times using such techniques, but all of them have resulted in no breast lift whatsoever. In your case it would be even more difficult because of the size of your breasts. I hope this helps and good luck from New York City Plastic Surgery.
