I recently had a mammogram and the report stated: "Breast Density: (NOT DENSE)" and "The breasts are almost entirely fatty." I read this means I have a very low percentage of fibrous and glandular tissue vs fatty tissue. What I am wondering is if this makes a difference in being able to have a breast lift with auto augmentation? I am 62 and average weight. But I have excess loose skin because I had implants for 10 years which were then removed over 20 years ago. I do not want implants again. Thank you!

Answer: Breast Density and Breast Lift Yes, it matters a lot in my experience. A fatty breast cannot be sculpted nor can it stay in the uplifted position as well as a more dense, glandular breast. The other major factor is the elasticity and thickness of the skin.

Answer: Does breast density determine the ability to have a good outcome for having a breast lift with auto augmentation? Thank you for your questions. These are good things to consider. The density of the breast has more to do with how the breast ages than with your candidacy for a procedure. As women age, the breast tissue gets replaced with fatty tissue and the breast begin to droop and sag. This is a natural process. If you are considering a breast lift with auto-augmentation, your fatty breast would be more likely to influence how the result ages or settles. A fatty replaced breast would tend to settle more and provide a more natural result with less upper pole fullness than a young fibrous breast. Hope this helps!
