Can I use fibroblast for a breast/nipple lift?

Question

I had fibroblast on my face with really good results. I have also read that it can be used to lift and tighten skin around the knees, so I am wondering whether it is also possible to use it to lift the breasts slightly? I assume the minor reduction of skin would give the same lifting benefits if a large area is treated? Would there be any reason not to try this? Thank you!

You don’t mention what type of facial surgery you had, and I’m glad you are happy with your result.  It is highly questionable whether the fibroblasts, in whatever form, had anything to do with how you healed.  If your surgeon recommends using it for breast surgery, it is up to you as to whether this is something to use.  There is no evidence of the benefit of fibroblasts in healing. I just wouldn’t spend a lot of money on it.

There are much better ways to lift breasts, even with minimally invasive radiofrequency skin tightening. I suggest not wasting your money on fibroblasts for your breasts.

Hi and welcome to our forum!
Basically, the plasma fibroblast treatment causes a burn. Immediate skin retraction following injury occurs initially as a result of thermal, laser or electric energy application. It is usually short lived and is not a permanent phenomenon. The actual permanent effect  of treatment is due to collagen deposition.  Although a degree of skin shrinkage is possible (as with any of these modalities), the degree of shrinkage would not be considered sufficient to lift a breast significantly.
There are better alternatives...visit a board certified plastic surgeon for advice.
Best wishes...
