Breast lift with J plasma technology? (Photos)

Question

Has anyone heard of doing a breast lift with J plasma from Bovie? Supposedly its scarless and causes skin contracture. Can this be done with my implants in? I have subglandular implants and 1 month post op.. 400cc and one side and 500 cc on the other. One side of my breast looks like it may sag. The skin looks loose and wrinkled. I'm 31 and it looks like I'm 80. After my implants my right breast is still larger even though I have a huge implant in the smaller side. My skin is peeling too Is this normal?

Though I don't have this particular laser option, I can tell you with certainty that trying to get any significant and lasting breast lift from a laser treatment is going to be a waste of money.  The J plasma looks like it can do some wonderful things for the skin itself, but don't let some non-surgeon try to replace surgery with a laser treatment which just won't deliver.Best of luck!

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), a member of the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), and a fellow of the American College of Surgeons (FACS).Best,Dr. DesaiBeverly Hills Institute for Aesthetic Plastic SurgeryHarvard Educated, Beverly Hills & Miami Beach TrainedDouble Board-Certified Beverly Hills Plastic Surgeon

Thank you for your question about Renuvion.
Renuvion (also called J-Plasma) is the newest and most powerful minimally invasive skin tightening treatment device that utilizes helium and RF (radiofrequency) to create a targeted beam of plasma for subdermal skin tightening. 
It can be used to treat any area where skin tightening is desired, but is commonly used for face, neck, arms, breasts, abdomen, waist and flanks, inner thighs and legs. This skin tightening procedure is commonly combined with liposuction to produce dramatic long-lasting results. Recovery is similar to liposuction with 1-3 days of downtime, and bruising/swelling resolving over several weeks. Results are seen immediately with tightening continuing over the next 6-12 months.
Yes Renuvion/J Plasma can help produce a minimally invasive breast lift without the scar burden of traditional breast lifts. However, it must be used in the proper patient with only mild to moderate lifting required. At the time of the post you were 1 month post op, which is too early to perform a revision surgery. I wait at least 6-12 months for the swelling to subside and for the tissues to heal. You may also benefit from a periareolar lift as well. The best way to tell is with a consultation with someone who is experienced in both a breast lift and Renuvion. Hope this helps.

In general anything that sounds too good to be true is usually too good to be true in my experience when it comes to plastic surgery.

J Plasma, now known as Renuvion, can shrink the breast skin and even lift the breast skin but not the breast tissue or an implant. I have used J Plasma/ Renuvion to shrink the skin pre-operatively reducing or eliminating the need for a breast lift. Your implants are larger than average, each weighs a pound or more, and when poorly supported can stretch the skin over time; I don't believe J Plasma can overcome the weight of your implants plus gravity.There are scarless breast lift techniques, one of which I developed, but these only go so far as well.Hope this helps
