I had a breast lift and fat transfer about a year ago. Is additional lifting possible? (Photos)

KFar19Oct 23, 2025
I had a breast lift and fat transfer about a year ago. I do not have before photos, but they have slightly improved as far as shape and lift. However, I feel they still appear droopy and need additional lifting and tightening. My surgeon said additional lifting is not possible. Is this true, and would you suggest additional lifting and/or tightening? What are my options to improve the appearance?

If you are concerned about scarring, then it may be better to just avoid getting a breast lift. Even with a Benelli lift, scars result and although they tend to remain hidden by the edges of the areolae, they may be more noticeable if you have a history of irregular scarring.

Based on your photos, it looks like your nipples are pointing slightly downward and may be located at or below your breast fold. For this reason, a lift would be recommended. While implants alone may lift the breasts a bit, the result may not be as dramatic as you’d like.

As it is within the scar from the incision, it is most likely related to a suture(s) used for the repair. Having an ultrasound is appropriate to rule out other causes. If necessary, your surgeon can probably remove this under local anesthesia in the office.
