Solution for Thin-skinned Chest?

March 9, 2012
Asked By:Juliabars in Seattle, WA

Seemingly due to sun exposure at a young age - or maybe due to early and large breast development - the chest's skin has thinned or stretched so much that my ribs show above my breasts. Is there a way that I can put either injectable fillers or a fat transfer there to make it look more "youthful". My chest looks like Magda from "There's Something About Mary" except it's beyond pale and of a 25 years old. Thank you for your responses!
