Hi, I am a 29 year old, mom of two. On Jan 4th 2014 got my breast lifted with lollipop incision and had texturized silicone gel implants placed under the muscle. My results were amazing and I was real happy. Perky full breast and wonderful cleavage! Lately I have been noticing how my breast is sagging and the cleavage looks far from being good looking. My chest is going back to flat and when I hop my breast bounce a lot. My bra straps leave marks on my shoulders. Any idea what's happening to me?
Answer: Breast sagging after augmentation and lift Hi Norma. From the photos you sent it looks like either the implants are dropping or your breast tissue is falling down over the implants. This is happening more on the left than the right. This can be fixed, but will involve a surgical procedure. If it's an implant issue your surgeon can do some internal suturing to support the implant. In addition graft tissue can be sewn along the bottom to better support the implant. If it is an issue with the breast tissue and skin it make require a modification of your lift involving adding a scar along the bottom of the breast. I suggest you see your surgeon and share you concerns. If you don't feel comfortable with the answer get a second opinion with someone with a good reputation for breast surgery. Good luck.Dr J

CONTACT NOW Answer: Sagging after lift Unfortunately, sagging can return even if the lift was done properly. It looks like your surgery was done well. however, every patient is different and loose skin can occur after this surgery. It is fairly easy to remove more skin and sometimes this procedure can be done under local. Please talk with your surgeon who will be able to help you best.

Answer: Breast Lift and nipple reduction, I was told by a doctor that I won't like my results if I don't get implants Without pre-op photos- it's impossible to comment accurately. Generally speaking the so called "lolipop" lift does not remove all of the sag. Combine that with implants and you will predictably sag again.

Answer: Recurrent Breast Ptosis Thank you for submitting your photos and question. The photos without clothes demonstrate the loosening of your skin at 11 months, particularly on your left breast. Unfortunately, a lift is only as good as the material used (your skin). If the skin has great elasticity, the results of a lift may last for many years. If the skin elasticity is suboptimal, the results of a lift may seem to only last for a few months before loosening.If you feel your breasts have loosened too much, a lift may be repeated quite easily lifting them back to their original position. In my experience, secondary lifts tend to hold better than the first lift, since the skin has already gone through the majority of its stretching out.

Answer: Sagging breasts After a breast lift, the breasts are snug and the implants perky, but in many women, the implant drops down with time and the skin stretches out to some degree. We call this "settling". It occurs is some womento a greater degree than others. Sometimes it requires a revision and sometimes it needs to be converted to the anchor type lift.
