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: Bottoming out after #breastreduction with #PlasticSurgery ?need for #breastlift Unfortunately, breasts do continue to drop with time..."...average increase of the inframmary fold to nipple distance of 0.44cm per year” according to a paper pubished by Reus WF, Mathes SJ. (Preservation of projection after reduction mammaplasty: long-term follow-up of the inferior pedicle technique. Plast Reconstr Surg 1988;82(4):644e52.)There is nothing that you can do to avoid this, but hopefully they will not bottom out too much for you. But if they do, you can have the lower pole of your breasts revised by taking out extra stretched skin from this area (lemon slice excision).

Answer: Sagging You may be still too large and more can be removed and the lift redone. Implants behind the muscle can be added for more fullness, especially in the upper chest.

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. Best,Pejman Aflaki, M.D.
