I gave birth 6 months ago. I did not breast feed; in fact I gave up the baby for adoption. my breasts were a 36c and perky. now, they are flat and lifeless. how do I regain firmness and fullness without surgery?

Gary M. Horndeski, MD · Answer

The reason most people refuse breast lifts is because of the ugly vertical scars of the traditional techniques.  For that reason, there is a new technique that was developed called The Mini Ultimate Breast Lift.  Using only a circumareola incision it is possible to hide the scars at the areola-skin junction, reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage.  Aligning the areola and breast tissue over the bony prominence of the chest wall maximizes anterior projection without the need for implants.  This minimizes incisions and scarring.

Thanks for your question! If is difficult to answer without seeing photos/examining you. Speaking in broad terms, a scarless breast lift is best for women with smaller breasts (A and B cups).  Radiofrequency skin tightening is a great way to tighten the skin of the breast, the "breast envelope." Make sure you consult with a board certified plastic surgeon and discuss: 
-Bodytite with Morpheus to the breasts
-ThermiTight to the breasts
Good luck!

If you want to regain fullness, implants can be placed.  A lift may or may not be necessary depending upon anatomy.  Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of breast lifts each year.  Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results.	Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

I am sorry but I am unaware of any breast rejuvenation options for the symptoms you describe that could be achieved without surgery.  Surgical procedures that could be considered would be a breast lift, breast lift/augmentation, or an augmentation alone.  Best of luck.

You have a number of options which will depend on your current anatomy.  Breast lift plastic surgery can improve the profile of sagging breasts, making breasts look more youthful and perky.Breast lift surgery is done to improve the profile of sagging breasts, changing their position on the body to appear more youthful.  I've posted an ABC news videoclip for my preferred breast lift technique for you.  Please visit with a board certified plastic surgeon to learn more about your options.
