What Happens to Your Breasts After a Tummy Tuck if the Skin is Being Pulled?

In the long run, probably not much. 

In the short term the inframammary fold (crease at the bottom of the breasts that defines the transition from breast to tummy) may be slightly lower by about 1-2 cm. The is temporary and usually goes back to its original location.

If you are experiencing neck, back, and/or shoulder pain from larges breasts, breast reduction may also be an option for you. Discuss this with your board certified plastic surgeon.

Best of Luck!

Thank you for the question.

Theoretically, the position of the inframammary folds can be lowered after tummy tuck surgery.  This may be evident after surgery for a short period of time especially when you are flexed at the waist immediately after surgery. However, I have not seen this to be a  long-term issue.

I  would not be surprised if you (at some time in the future)  choose to have a breast reduction procedure as well ( to improve the proportions of the upper and lower body).  The breast reduction procedure will allow you to “show off” your tummy tuck  results even more.

Best wishes.
