I had weight fluctuations and developed saggy breasts. Am I a good candidate for breast lift surgery? Will I achieve good results? I don't want to put an implant but can do Fat grafting if necessary. Also, will breast lift surgery and fat grafting improve the wrinkled(depressed) stretch marks on breast skin which I have developed? As I have heard that during a breast lift, the skin is tightly closed.
Answer: Mastopexy or breast reduction surgery is good option for you Depending on a formal physical exam, a breast reduction or mastopexy would be a good option for you. Based on the photograph, s it appears that you have enough breast tissue to give you good shape without fat grafting. Both breast reduction and mastopexy involves reshaping of the breast tissue and moving the nipple back to a more youthful position on the breast. In a breast reduction, surgery is done to treat symptoms like back pain, rashes under the breasts, neck pain and grooving on the shoulders. In the surgery resection of more breast tissue is performed. And mastopexy, skin and a small amount of breast tissue was removed in order to reshape the breast. This is not done for a particular medical problem other than ptosis or drooping of the breast skin and gland. Unfortunately the stretch marks you have on the upper portion of your breast would not be helped by this or fat grafting. These are tears in the deeper layers of your skin. This is an unfortunate but common thing that we see there is not a great option in this area for removal. Breast lift and breast reduction are common procedures that we do in our office.

Answer: Breast lift candidate Hello, Thank you for your question. Certainly you would benefit from a breast lift. Difficult to say whether or not the fat graft will benefit you. To get a better understanding and expectations on fat grafting, I would speak to your plastic surgeon. Unfortunately stretch marks are difficult to improve. There can be a slight improvement with the lift and fat graft but it may still be visible and no guarantees can be made.

Answer: Breast lift with fat grafting Breast lift is exactly to procedure you need if your problem is saggy breasts. Implants are not necessary to correct this problem. Stretch marks in this location would still be visible after breast lift. Redraping the skin and filling with a moderate amount of fat may will smooth out any wrinkling of the skin caused by deflation, but the loss of pigment (color) caused by the stretch marks would still be visible.

Answer: Breast lift fat transfer candidate? You look like an optimal candidate for breastlift. The lift will elevate the breast and reduce the weight and excess skin. Your breasts will become more elevated and perky, with reduction of the areolar diameter, which will provide freshness. Fat transfer provides some gentle improvement to the upper cleavage and has a really nice effect on stretch marks with its stem cells. You will need a full history and physical to assure you are healthy and a good surgical candidate. I would recommend you see a board certified plastic surgeon for consultation. You can find one at plasticsurgery.org. Best of luck to you!
