I am 56 with large breasts that are drooping significantly. I do not have implants. I would like to achieve 1) a lift, 2) a reduction, 3) maintain nipple sensitivity, and 4) utilize some kind of "internal bra" (using ADM?) to achieve a longer lasting lift. It seems most surgeons using ADM in breast lifts do this only in conjunction with implants. Is there a PS out there doing a reduction/lift along with some form of "internal bra" WITHOUT also using implants? Your thoughts much appreciated.

Answer: The Reality of Breast Lifts in Large Breasts Hello,Unfortunately, there is no evidence to suggest that the outcomes of breast lifts with biologic materials changes the natural course of descent that occurs after a pure lift of a large breast. Quality and durability of a breast lift is directly proportional to its final size, with smaller and lighter breasts having longer lasting results. Best of luck!

Answer: "Internal Bra" using ADM possible without putting in implants? Thank you for your question. This is a very forward thought process! The answer is yes, there are options out there for an internal bra using ADMs or other types of soft tissue support devices. You can be a good candidate for this is you have stretched soft tissue that would be at risk of re-stretching over time. You should discuss your desires with your plastic surgeon and get his or her opinion regarding this approach. Also may be best to get multiple opinions/consults for this type of thing. But be aware that these materials will come at an additional cost and can be quite expensive in a cosmetic setting. Best of luck!
