Saggy Breasts After Weight Loss. Any Non Surgical Alternatives to a Breast Lift? (photo)

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.

Unfortunately there are no non-surgical breast lift procedures which reliably work to add volume and tighten the skin. There have been some clinical trials with Ulthera for breast and chest wrinkles, and patients have had some slight lifting occur. Based on your photos, I would think that a breast augmentation would replace the volume loss and improve the appearance of your breast. Good luck.

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.

    There is not a reliable nonsurgical breast lift.  Fillers would cost may too much.  Fat grafting is a similar concept but would be cost effective.  However, it is still surgery.  Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Weight loss affects all areas of the body especially the breasts.  With the amount of weight that you have lost, it is not surprising that you have lost volume and therefore have developed some sagging.  The good news is that, based on your picture, your sagging appears minimal.  The bad news is that, other than re-gaining your weight, I don't know of a good non-surgical answer for you.  Again, based on your pictures, I would think that you might be a good candidate for a peri-areolar (aka, donut or Benelli) breast lift procedure which would produce the least amount of scarring on the breast.  The scar would go around the periphery of your areolae.  You could do this with or without the addition of a breast implant if you wanted to replace the volume lost through your weight loss.

Nonsurgical means like skin tighteners do not work reliably.

It is hard to see the creases on your skin, but my bet is that fillers would not be the best option either.

Have you thought about increasing the volume of your breasts? Volume loss is the cause of your presentation. Augmentation with breast implants, or maybe even fat, will give you lift and fill. If you have folds on your back, that might be a good donor site for fat transfer.

I would recommend you visit plasticsurgery.org to find a Board-certified plastic surgeon near you!

Your breast can be improved with implants. The only filler that could be used is fat but the volumes will not be as much as the implants
