Is a vampire breast lift safe?

Question

I have heard of the vampire breaks lift but I have not seen enough studies to support this. I was wondering what you docs think? Is it safe? Is a realistic result? And what Dr specializes it

Urmen Desai, MD, MPH, FACS · Answer

Yes, there is very little published about this topic.  Thus, I would be weary of any LONGTERM results. I recommend an in-office examination as well as a detailed discussion with a surgeon who you are comfortable with.   Finally, make sure your surgeon is a Double-Board Certified Plastic Surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS), a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgery (ASPS) and the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS).Best,Dr. DesaiBeverly Hills Institute for Aesthetic Plastic SurgeryHarvard Educated, Beverly Hills & Miami Beach Trained, Double-Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

Dear kriptoknight,you are right, there are no studies which support vampire breast lift. For now, the only solution for breast lift is surgery. An examination would be required to make sure that you are a good candidate for a breast lift. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS

You haven't heard about any studies supporting it because there aren't any. In theory injecting stem cells into the skin of the breast can tighten it and lift the breast a little bit and would be safe. However, injecting stem cells into the breast gland, in theory, could activate breast cancer cells if there was any potential for them to become cancerous. I would personally recommend sticking with well proven surgical techniques if you want your breasts lifted.  Hope that helps!

The term "Vampire" is used to describe many techniques which use factors from your own blood such as stem cells or platelets. The idea is that this will stimulate your body to produce more collagen as well as restore youthful characteristics to your tissues. There are no long-term or high-level studies which evaluate the effectiveness of these treatments. It is best to have an in-office examination to evaluate your breast anatomy and tissue characterstics to determine what surgical and non-surgical options are available to provide the results which you are looking for.

There is very little, if any, actual science to support the efficacy of this procedure.  Most experienced plastic surgeons probably would advise the vampire breast lift is a marketing gimmick.  Seek consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon and get multiple opinions if necessary to satisfy your curiosity and educate yourself.

Curtis Wong, MD · Answer

and the procedures with the name attached to it don't stand the test of time.  So its suggested you don't continue to support this fringe marketing scheme by using such services.  When you want durable and proven results, see a board certified plastic surgeon and no one else.

I'm afraid, in my opinion,  it is little more than a sales scam. I see several patients a year that have spent thousands of dollars on various types of "Vampire" treatments all of which have been a complete and total waste of their money. The type of doctor that would take a patient's money for this method of treatment is not the type you want to see.
