I have stretch marks on my breasts since teen years and I have developed saggy breasts due to recent weight fluctuations. I plan to undergo breast lift surgery without implants. Will the presence of stretch marks affect my breasts lift surgery results ? Will I be able to retain the results for at least some years if I maintain stable weight and wear a proper fitted bra always? I really need mastopexy (with some reduction if required) as the saggy breasts cause discomfort to me.

Answer: Stretchmarks The presence of your stretch marks does typically indicate that the skin has weakened, however they shouldn’t negatively impact the results of a breast lift. A reduction can be performed at the same time as your lift to give you more proportionate results. The results of a breast lift are long lasting, and a healthy lifestyle and adequate breast support can maintain the improvement.

Answer: Breasts You would actually do better with a reduction than just a lift. Once the excess weight and skin are removed, your stretch marks may look better.

Answer: Bellesoma Method The technique I recommend is The Bellesoma Method. This will reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained.

Answer: How stretch marks of the breast affect a mastopexy result? Hello! There are multiple possibilities to give you a good result from a breast lift. A physical exam is required to give definitive personal advice. My answer is based on the typical findings that I would expect with photos like yours. As you know, repeated weight fluctuations weaken the supporting tissues of the breasts. Assuming you are happy with your present size, my preferred solution is to reinforce the lift two ways. First, I preserve the deeper layers of the excess skin to be removed, leaving them attached to the glandular tissue, and suspending the breast gland to the chest wall with them. Then I place a bra-shaped absorbable biomatrix (Galaflex 3DR™) over this before closing the skin flaps. As the matrix absorbs, it is replaced by a new layer of long lasting fibrous tissue to support the breast. I think this is a better option for patients whose tissues have been weakened, than combining a breast reduction with implants, which increases both the risk of nipple numbness and implant associated complications. Please consult a board certified plastic surgeon who is familiar with these techniques. Wishing you a great result!

Answer: Will the presence of stretch marks on breasts affect my breast lift surgery results? Hi! Excellent question! Not really. Your stretch marks per say should not affect results. But the size and weight of your breasts after the lift can affect the longevity of your results and this tends to matter more on patients with lots of stretch marks. Because stretch marks speak to the quality of skin due to a history of weight fluctuations.
