i lost about 44 pounds as a result i now have saggy breasts,and as a result my breast are more flaccid and have lost volume, also i have this loose skin or creases that are more noticeable when i lay down. I wanted to know if there is any alternative treatment, like accent, radiofrecuency, or any other non surgical treatment or if i need a brest lift.Also, i wanted to know if its safe to use any kind of dermal filler, not to gain volume but to fill those creases. im 30
Answer
I do not think there is a non-surgical intervention that will make you happy. A breast lift will give you your shape and perkiness back without changing your size. You also have the option of a small implant without a lift to take up the loose skin. I am afraid any non-surgical option will lighten your wallet, but not accomplish what you want.

There is one option in particular I think you would benefit from. As your ptosis doesn't look to be anything extreme, I would recommend an implant and using Renuvion (or some kind of radiofrequency heating of the skin) to the upper poles of the breast. This will fill up the skin some as well as tightening the upper pole skin to elevate the nipple and areola. Its still surgery but much less invasive than a traditional Wise Pattern lift.

Thank you for your question and for your photos. Unfortunately there are no non-surgical alternatives to a breast lift. Based on your photos provided, you are an ideal candidate for breast augmentation with lift. I would advise you to schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon for a detailed examination to discuss all possible treatment options and what your expectations are.

Diet and exercise will certainly have some impact on the overall size of your breasts if you have a large amount of fatty tissue within your breasts currently. While seemingly benign and the prospect for exciting and remarkable results, pills and creams for reduction of breast size are not adequately regulated and without good research to show its safety and efficacy, let alone its results. Breast reduction via surgical excision or liposuction would be the best method for reducing the size of your breasts. Results are excellent with minimal complications. Women tolerate this procedure very well and almost all are very happy with her results. It is one of the most popular procedures in plastic surgery today. I would recommend a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options and to assist you in determining if breast reduction is right for you. Best of luck! Hope that these answers help you!

Unfortunately there are no non-surgical alternatives to a breast lift that will give you a good result. I would recommend a breast lift for you. If you do not want the incisions of a breast lift, a breast augmentation alone while not ideal might be an option.
