Need Breast Revision, Adding BA, Lipo360 and Braline Back Lift (Photo)

Question

I had a mommy makeover last year after losing 130lbs naturally with clean diet and CrossFit daily. MMO included lipo to flanks, braline, BR, BL with galaflex mesh and a lower body lift. I’m left with excess lateral chest tissue and hate my breasts. I’m ready to do BA, Lipo360 and upper body lift (if recommended) My question is… will Lipo360 help with the excess skin/fat to my lateral chest or is a braline back lift necessary? Also what size implants would give me an augmented look?

Dear KJJ7,
based on your photos, it looks like you have loose skin on your back so you will most likely need back lift in order to improve it. 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.

You need a back lift, revision of the inframammary scars and fat transfers to the upper poles of your breasts rather that implants.

Lipo won't help you there. You'll need an upper body lift/back lift to manage the excess skin. Your choice is a traditional incision that runs across the back at the level of the bra strap, or and oblique incision that mirrors the folds of skin on your back. Either way and you can expect a very nice improvement to your contour, and it will help delineate the lateral aspect of your breasts.

Thank you for your question and pictures.  First of all, congrats on your weight loss.   If you added implants and revised the lateral part of your BL you would get more upper pole fullness, but, in exchange for a larger breast which you may or may not want.  And due to the amount of breast tissue you currently have, a decent sized implant would be needed to achieve a visible and worthwhile difference.  As for the back, from what I can see on the pictures, it looks like what you would need is at least a bra line lift and possibly combined with the lipo of the abdomen and back, or so called Lipo 360.

Connie Hiers, MD, FACS · Answer

I would suggest adding minimally invasive skin tightening like Renuvion to your liposuction of your back bra rolls. You might do very well and avoid the long scars.
