Breasts suddenly deflated. Should I get a lift?

The deflation of the breasts does happen and it’s most often after child birth and breast feeding. Depending the size of the breast that you desire, you could have a breast lift or an augmentation lift combination. You need to be seen to determine what would be the most appropriate for you.the best lift procedure is the one that gives a lollipop shape scar, but depending on your present shape other methods with less visible scars could be feasible.

Hello.
Great question. Based on your question, it appears you have droopy breasts not deflated. However, it is difficult to properly evaluate your concerns without images and/or a personal examination. Please visit a board certified plastic surgeon for a detailed surgical plan to achieve your desired results. 

You need a formal evaluation by a licensed plastic surgeon and expert in breast lifts, revisions and augmentations to determine what is best for you and your goals.
Breast lift surgery can improve a woman's breast shape by repositioning the breast mound at a higher position on the chest and then centering the nipple and areola on the breast itself. If there is enough breast tissue, I can perform a highly aesthetic mastopexy without the addition of further volume by internally rearranging the breast tissue and removing excess skin. If more volume is needed, especially in the upper portion of the breasts, we will discuss the possibility of fat grafting or silicone gel implant placement. The type of incision required for this surgery (circumareolar, “lollipop” or “anchor”) and the lifespan of the lift depends on each patient’s condition, breast tissue, genetics, weight and hormonal fluctuations, and desired results.
Augmentation with mastopexy is a challenging surgery that requires significant experience to create a shape that is youthful, natural, and proportionate to the body, while managing the native tissue as well as fat grafts or implants. When performed properly, it can result in a dramatic improvement to a woman’s breast appearance.
I suggest consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon and expert in Breast Lifts. - Dr. Cohen

Dear JackieShepherd,
It is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

The lift technique I recommend is The Bellesoma Method.  This will reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage.  Vertical scars are avoided and nipple sensation (in 95%) is maintained.  There are 2 components of breast tissue: the firm rubbery breast tissue is called parenchyma and fat.  Diet affects the fat but the hormones change the parenchyma.  Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Hi and welcome to our forum!
From your history of shrinking breasts at age 35 associated with a decrease in chronic tenderness (usually due to cyclic breast changes), it sounds as if you may be going into early perimenopause. 
I would recommend evaluation by your GYN to determine if there is a hormonal imbalance amenable to correction before undergoing surgery. If breast involution is occurring, you want to be at a stable size before undergoing a surgical procedure.
Visit your GYN as well as a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your issue.
Best wishes...

Hello and thank you for your question.  The best advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation.  Hormonal changes can affect breast size.  Based on your description, you are likely a good candidate for a breast lift.  This decision should be based on a detailed discussion with equal input from both you and your surgeon.   Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results.   I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person.


Best wishes and good luck.

Breasts respond to hormonal changes and size can vary during your lift depending upon your status with your hormones.

Thank you for the question. There may be many reasons why women experience a change in breast size and/or position ("sagging"). A change in hormones certainly can be one of these reasons. Whether or not to undergo breast lifting (plus/minus augmentation) will ultimately be a very personal decision that only you can make after careful consideration of the pros/cons associated with each option.My best advice: if/when the time is right select your plastic surgeon carefully. Make sure that he/she has significant experience achieving the types of outcomes you will be pleased with. Then, communicate your goals carefully, as  well.   I find that the use of goal photographs and computer imaging are very helpful during this communication phase. Working together you will come up with a good plan to achieve your goals.  Best wishes. 

As women age, their breast tissue goes away and they often sag. This needs to be seen in person to know if a lift alone would be enough of often we add implants at the same time as a lift and occasionally implants alone do the trick. You need a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon.
