I want to get rid of my stretch marks on my breast. Can this be done while breast lift and enchancement surgery? How much would it cost?
Answer: Stretch marks and breast uplift / augmentation Unfortunately the stretch marks in the upper part of the breast cannot be removed following a breast uplift / augmentation. The excess skin is removed from the lower part of the breast. You do need to be aware that the stretch marks may actually become a bit more stretched and prominent following an uplift / augmentation as the breast that is lax and deflated at the moment will be fuller and firmer after the procedure, thereby stretching out the overlying skin. This may be more noticeable immediately after the procedure, but should hopefully be less so as the swelling settles in 3 to 6 months.

Answer: Can these be removed during breast lift/augmentation? Thank you for sharing your question and photograph. Unfortunately based on the location of your stretch marks they can not be removed during the breast lift portion of your procedure. There are no good treatment options for stretch marks other than cutting them out but because you do not have significant skin excess yours will not be affected. Hope this helps.

Answer: Yes and no. Yes, stretch marks can be treated and improved, but not at the time of your augmentation. In our practice we have had excellent results with a combination of Erbium laser treatments along with microneedling/radiofrequency. This requires a series of treatments that can begin before augmentation and continue after augmentation. Best of luck to you.

Answer: Can these be removed during breast lift/augmentation? Hello and thank you for the question and photo. Sorry, the stretch marks on the top part of your breasts would not be removed with a breast lift procedure. Most of the skin is removed from bellow the areolae and only some skin is removed from above and around the areolae. You will probably have less stretch marks after surgery, but how much less is hard to tell without an in person examination. This should not discourage you because the results will enhance your breasts and will make the stretch marks less noticeable.Best of luck,Dr. Miguel Mota
