Hello, I had a breast reduction surgery on the summer of 2016 (I was 19) and they naturally dropped after the healing process which I was happy with. But then they did not stop dropping, it's not too fast, 3 years after I still don't have much of a problem with them but 2 years in was the best result. I'm just worried that they will keep sagging resulting in more of a bottom out issue than there is now. I already have it, but it doesn't look bad yet. How can I prevent it from getting worse?

Answer: Concerned about bottoming out after breast reduction Hello and thank you for your question. It would be better to see some photos for a better advice. I don't think there is anything you can do to prevent potential worsening of the problem. You should discuss your concerns with your surgeon to see if you benefit from a revision surgery in future.

Answer: Breast Lift Surgery / Mastopexy -- Breast Mound Repositioning, Nipple & Areola Relocation, Excess Skin Removal, Fat Grafting, Br 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
