How can I get the fullness back into my breasts after a rapid weight loss?

Question

I recently had a rapid weight loss due to stress and removing alcohol from my diet. My breasts have completely deflated because of this. The weight loss was unintentional and very unhealthy. I have been eating healthy for a few months now, but have noticed that the weight is only going to my stomach. Will the weight ever distribute evenly throughout my body? It is not so much that the breasts are smaller, but there is no fullness there...how can I get the fullness back into my breasts?

If more volume is what you would like, breast implants or fat grafting could be considered.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

and you are congratulated on your journey.  Restoring breast volume in this situation can only be accomplished with implants.  Fat grafting can be considered if your weight around your tummy persists but you will still need a lift to improve the shape and remove excess skin.

Congratulations on the healthy diet.  Without pictures, its hard to tell but most patients who have lost weight and want fullness back in their breast need either breast implants or a breast lift plus implants.  Get evaluated to know all your options.  Good luck.

Proper examination is required, at least some photos, usually all of my weight loss patients needs mastopexy with or without implants. Visit a certified Plastic surgeon  who will help you identified your real problem, if its volume deficience, breast ptosis or both and discuss your real options and expectations.

Congratulations on getting back to a healthy diet.  After weight loss, it is not unusual to loose volume or note sagging of the breasts.  If the sagging is minimal, you may be a good candidate for a breast augmentation with breast implants.  If the sagging is the main problem a breast lift may be necessary.  If both sagging and volume loss are the issues, a combination of breast augmentation and lift can be considered.  Seek out a board certified plastic surgeon with extensive experience in breast surgery.  Best wishes, Dr Lepore.
