Will skin redraping (or tightening) in mastopexy improve the appearance of stretch marks on my breasts? (Photos)

Question

After weight loss,my breasts sagged with loose skin and the stretch marks on my breast have wrinkled."When I pull some loose skin from bottom of breast, the breast lifts up, the remaining skin tightens and thus the appearance of the stretch marks improves(as you can see in the photos)." 1)Will I get similar improvement in the appearance(or texture) of stretch marks with mastopexy? 2)If I keep stable weight and wear proper bra, will I retain the improved appearance months after surgery? Edited to add: I don't want implants.

Excellent question… yes it will! You will get very similar improvement to the stretch marks and y tightness of the skin with a lift. One of the factors with a breast lift, as far as lasting results is the weight of the breasts. So, as long as the lifted breasts are nit too heavy, a stable weight and proper braw will help maintain results.

Best of luck,
Dr. Miguel Mota

Hello @Intuitive966585, I appreciate your question. It is possible to reposition and improve the shape of the breast with minimal scarring by raising the base slightly and improving the overall proportion with J inverted scar breast lift . This will create overall harmony. As for the stretch marks when the mammary tissue is repositioned the stretch mark will be less noticeable. To determine the best course of action, a personalized consultation is necessary, in which all aspects are considered. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.

Based on the pictures what I recommend you is breast reduction with lift and implants also areolas reduction.  I would suggest to be treated by board certified plastic surgeon with experience in this procedure, to get the best desired results.

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.

Best Wishes,

Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Dear Intuitive966585,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Based on your photos, it looks like a breast lift would help you with stretch marks. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.
