In the future will Ellacor be used for the body and breast more readily?

Question

Ellacor appears to be promising technology. It would be great to have a breast lift with no scars! I was unable to find any info online of Ellacor being used on the breasts. In the future will ellacor be used for the body and breast more readily?

Hello, hope you are well. The development of the technology seems promising. From speaking with the company reps, it seems they are working to adapt the system to treat skin more broadly on the body (abdomen, extremities, etc). I would wait until there is clinical data and until some of the technological limitations have been addressed, but I believe it's in the works. Having said that, it will not replace what can be achieved surgically. (Just as it will never replace facelift surgery, it will never replace breast lift surgery either). 
Best,Dr. Tower

The amount of skin tightening that Ellacor provides is so minimal that it barely improves the skin of the face where there is plentyful vascularity. The breasts, which have been stretched, tremendously by gravity, weight gain and pregnancy, have way too much extra skin and therefore Ellacor will not be successful in that procedure whatsoever. I hope this helps and Good luck from New York City Plastic Surgery.
