Will pectoral implants help fill in moderate loose/lax skin? (Photo)

Question

I seem to be getting conflicting opinions here. One surgeon told me pec implants do nothing for loose skin while another told me it would definitely firm the area. I have mild to moderate loose skin in the chest from a bit overaggressive lipo and I’m just trying to firm it up. Having a “bulkier” chest isn’t a priority but wouldn’t mind. Main focus is just to have it look tighter, similar to how it is when the chest area gets cold/stimulated.

Thank you for your question and pictures.   To answer your question implant will give you more volume witch in turn stretch out the skin but again having implants is committing your self to a lifetime of surgery implants don’t last forever.   What u would recommend is Vaser Hi-Def liposculpting that’s including your Pec area to tighten your loose skin and some fat grafting to the pec area to give you more volume.  Make sure that when you choose your plastic surgeon that you research there work and that they are BOARD CERTIED BY THE AMERICAN BOARD OF  PLASTIC SURGERY.

Dear Meandmyeyes,
it is hard to expect that pectoral implants will solve your issue with loose skin. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.
