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

MeandmyeyesJan 24, 2020
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.

Unfortunately seromas do happen in this site in particular when large implants are placed. Permanent movement of the chest wall and stiff, hard silicone implant do not seem to do very well. Placement of drain to treat seroma is an option but carries a risk of implant infection. If this persists,...

Thank you for your question and for your photos. Based on your photos provided, I do see some asymmetry and this can be improved with fat grafting to the area or pectoralis implants. In my opinion, your chest seems fine the way that it is right now as chests do have some asymmetry and this is...
