Implants for Sagging Breasts with Crepey Skin?

January 11, 2009
Asked By:melei in New York

My breasts are saggy (from massive weight loss) with loose and really unattractive crepe-like appearance. I have lost a lot of weight (about 50 kilos) and have loose skin all over my body. I am considering a full Tummy Tuck rather than a body lift as I don't want the wrap-around scar. I would also like to have implants to address loose and crepey breast skin, but don't want my breast too large. Should I consider having breast implants? Could a small implant be effective? What are some things for me to consider, as this is a bit different than just wanting larger breasts?
