Hello, I had a breast reduction and lift 7 years ago and I am wondering if I can ever have another lift? Could there be problems with the nipples not having enough blood flow or nerves? I am 58yrs old, I would love another lift in the next 2 yrs. I weigh 145lbs and am 5’6” tall. Thank you, Tracy
Answer: Breast Lift Hello, 1tracysinnott! You can definitely get another breast lift. As we age, skin elasticity changes and this sometimes requires additional procedures if you want to maintain lifted breasts. There is always the risk of vascularity issues during a breast lift but choosing a board certified and experienced surgeon can help prevent any issues with blood flow to the nipples and areolas. I wish you luck on your surgical journey!

Answer: Revision breast uplift Yes, revision breast lifts can certainly be done but its extremely important to share your previous surgery records to the surgeon you choose to see as he will need to know how your blood supply to your nipple was designed

Answer: Is a Second Breast Lift Advisable Years After Initial Surgery? Hi Tracy,Yes, you can have another breast lift. A second surgery is possible even years later, especially if you healed well from the first one.Your age and weight are not a concern if you're in good health. There’s a small risk to nipple blood flow and sensation after a second lift, but this depends on your previous surgery and current anatomy. Best wishes!

Answer: Breast lift Hello Tracy! Thank you for asking such a great question. Yes, you actually can have another breast lift. This is a common problem with women who have had reductions/lifts in the past, but as they have aged, their breasts have begun to sag again. Because of this, another lift is a great option. When discussing the nerves and blood flow to the nipple, majority of the time nerve sensation can remain in-tact if the surgeon you go to is able to have access to your prior procedure notes. This is important, as there are multiple techniques when it comes to breast reductions/lifts, so giving your surgeon all of the information from your previous surgery will give them the best idea of your breast anatomy and where the nerves and important vessels have now been relocated to.
