Extra skin in cleavage 4 years after breast lift with implants - What could have caused this and what are my options? (photos)

Question

What could have caused this and what can I do to correct it? Procedure was completed 4 years ago as part of a mommy makeover. It has always been this way and growing to be more noticeable in every photo. I’d like to have it corrected and want to know what my options are.

Dear Elev8,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

That’s a remnant of skin left over from the breast lift. Unfortunately removing it requires skin excision and therefore a scar where you wouldn’t want it

Connie Hiers, MD, FACS · Answer

You just have some stretched out skin from the size of your breasts, I would not suggest another lift unless you really need this.  Your photos did not show your whole breasts.  You could try radiofrequency with micro-needling to skin if you can improve the skin in that area.
