The age old question - shaping and tightening without surgery? Not possible to the extent that is needed. Not yet.
The ONLY real treatment for effectively lift the breast is a mastopext, or breast lift surgery. For several years I have been using a 'vertical scar' technique for most breast reductions, which eliminates the long, horizontal incision in the inframammary fold below the breasts. I have also adapted this technique for breast lift surgery, and have been extremely pleased with the results. As with breast reduction patients, this new technique not only eliminates the horizontal incision, but also creates more impressive breast projection and maintains it better over time. The breast lift procedure I perform not only removes breast skin but also moves some lower pole breast tissue to a higher position, increasing the projection of the nipple/areola area. Breast lift surgery works well for patients with enough existing breast tissue to build a projecting 'breast mound'. However, in most breast lift Raleigh / Durham patients it is difficult to create sustainable fullness in the upper poles of the breasts by means of a mastopexy alone. This is particularly true in patients who have experienced significant deflation following pregnancy and lactation. For patients who indicate that they wish to achieve a fair amount of fullness in the cleavage area as a result of their breast lift surgery, I recommend that they undergo augmentation mastopexy. This surgery combines a breast lift with the placement of a breast implant usually of modest size, which produces the most youthful breast profile possible.
Sorry, I have not heard of this modality of “breast lifting”; I would caution you to be very skeptical of any nonsurgical procedure that promises effective breast lifting. Best wishes.
A non-invasive breast lift sounds like a marketing tool. The only way to actually lift the breast is to perform a breast lift surgical procedure.
I have been using endermology in my practice since 1995. I am not aware of this use of the machine. If you are considering a noninvasive therapy you probably would be better off investing in a good bra
In the field of plastic surgery, if it sounds too good to be true it is! Unless they have some form of guarantee save your money!
Wishful thinking or at best temporary benefit. But then I don't think Endermologie actually does anything long term. Tightening the skin is one thing and may be feasible, but actually lifting the breast tissue/gland without surgery is quite another.
Your breasts can be lifted, but my recommendation is to lose the excess weight first, for two reasons. First, significant. weight reduction will improve your quality of life immeasurably more than breast lift. Second, if you have the mastopexy (breast lift) and then lose the excess...
A revision of the areola may be possible. It is best to review this with your surgeon, so that he may give you the best advice based upon the exam. Good luck.
Insurance doesn't usually cover the cost of a breast lift, however it can cover breast reduction. You should contact your insurance provider to find out if your surgery would be covered. If it is, it would have to be deemed medically necessary.
