I want to know everything i could possible do to tighten the skin around my breast and ways that i could get some lift to my breast. Im 17 years old and im 110 pounds overweight, which i know plays a huge role to my breast sagging and i need advice. I know the time to loose weight is now but of course its more challenging doing than saying. Im worried about if or when i loose weight my breast will be fifty years older than i am. What should i do, where do i start? Im worse than grade 3! Thank u!

Answer: Breast ptosis at a young age Thank you for your question.Yes, the breast will appear somewhat "sagging" with weight loss. This is due to the supportive ligaments that are stretched out with weight gain and then subsequently sag once the weight is off. Be sure to consult with a board certified/eligible plastic surgeon. With additional weight loss you would likely benefit from a lift and and implant to give a more youthful shape and size.In our practice we use a couple techniques to help you choose the perfect implant for your body type --At your consultation we use the following methods to helpensure you are happy with the chosen implant size.1.Silicone sizers – these are shaped like breasts and designed by the implant manufacturer to give you a representation of how you will look with the implants. We carry all the sizes.2.3D imaging – in our practice we take a 3D image of your breasts. This allows us to show you, visually, what can be achieved with the implants. Different sizes and shapes can be selected to “preview” yournew look.I hope this helps.- Dr. Bryson Richards (Las Vegas Plastic Surgeon)II hope this helps.Best of luck.- Dr. Bryson Richards (Las Vegas Plastic Surgeon)

Answer: Lose the weight It's hard to try and speculate what your breasts will look like after the weight loss. You may need a lift, you may not. I suspect that if you do have more than a grade 3 ptosis, you will need the lift. But, regardless, it's all speculation. Lose the weight first, just because you should and you will be much better off from a health standpoint anyway. As as for helping the skin now, the only thing I have seen to work on very loose skin is Retin-a 0.1% on the skin of the breast and abdomen. It won't solve all the issues, but can certainly help tighten the skin a little bit while losing the weight now. Best.
