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: 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.

Answer: Revision breast lift Hello and thank you for your question! I commend you for being well informed regarding some of the risks of revision lift surgery. You are right - if you have already had one breast lift/reduction, it is possible to have another/revision later. However, it is important to try to get a copy of your operative report for your new surgeon to review. While the scars on the outside are obvious on exam for surgeons to see, we cannot tell what "pedicle" or technique was used internally without the prior operative note. Depending on the pedicle technique used, the blood supply leading towards the nipple/areola complex was sacrificed in some directions in order to remove breast tissue and mobilize the tissue for the lift, while preserved in other directions. A revision lift/reduction should ideally utilize the same pedicle technique to avoid sacrificing more of the "good"/remaining blood supply and minimize further internal scar tissue. Sometimes this information is not available and surgeons have to make a judgement call; however, the risk of the nipples/areolas not having enough blood supply and thus leading to wound healing problems is higher in these cases. Good luck on your journey!
