PRP Breast Enlargement (aka the "Vampire Breast Lift"): Does It Actually Work? (photo)

Question

Have heard a lot about the "Vampire Facelift," but have also starting to hear about PRP being used for breast lifts/enlargements. Is this a legitimate procedure? If so, how does it work and how is it different from other variations of breast lifts?

Jerome Edelstein, MD · Answer

PRP alone would not do anything to help lift or augment the breast.  Perhaps the idea involves the use of fat transplantation and PRP.  That can help augment and lift the breast.  Find out ... if its just PRP, don't bother.

Agreed!  If you want to enlarge your breasts,  stick with the gold standard.  Breast Augmentation performed by a board certified plastic surgeon.Best wishes.

Martin Jugenburg, MD · Answer

There is no scientific evidence that demonstrates any benefit from a "vampire breast lift". I would not waste your time or money on this.

Kris M. Reddy, MD, FACS · Answer

PRP for breast enhancement is a questionable procedure. For breast enlargement, you are best off opting for breast implants.

Richard Chaffoo, MD, FACS, FICS · Answer

I completely agree with the other plastic surgeon. There is no scientific evidence that demonstrates any benefit from the use of a "vampire breast lift or facelift" for that matter. This is all just marketing gimmics; they are about as real as their namesake suggests. I would recommend you see a surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery to obtain an ethical and honest opinion about your aesthetic concerns. Best of luck!

It's too bad some doctors feel the need to attach crazy names to unproven procedures and then market the procedure as if it had some magical qualities. The answer to your question is there is no evidence that the vampire procedure is any more real than it's namesake. Just a figment.
