Is there a treatment to help tighten the skin/breasts so they don’t appear so flat while on my back. My partner has discussed feeling less attracted to them. While upright, they seem decently pert for an almost 37 year old. Please advise on my options.

Answer: Breast lift vs BA Dear Bestself123, determining whether you need simply a breast augmentation versus a breast lift can be somewhat complicated. It depends on a number of factors including skin laxity and current nipple position. Generally speaking, if the nipples are lower than the inframammary line the patient will most likely need a breast lift. If the nipples are at or above the inframammary line we can generally get by with just a breast augmentation depending on the size of the implant the patient wants. I often still using implant when I perform a breast lift because it provides more upper breast fullness after the lift. To be sure a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon will help determine what the patient actually needs.

Answer: My breasts deflate while lying on my back, any suggestions? Thank you for sharing your question and photographs. Due to the shape of the ribcage, natural breast will have a tendency towards flattening and moving to one's side when lying down. If you would prefer to have less motion, or prefer to enhance your breast appearance, it appears that an augmentation with implants would provide you a nice result. Hope this helps.
