Like w a breast lift w implants. Does it last? Or will it begin to get loose again earlier than healthy skin? The extra skin on the upper pole of my breasts looks great when i manually push my breast tissue up into it. The extra skin on my belly looks great when I lift & stretch it. But I know on the cellular level, it just be different than my healthy skin. One thing I notice is the extra skin becomes reddened more easily when it’s hot or cold.
Answer: Over Time Will Always Stretch Skin that is tightened will always stretch over time. However, this will affect you differently in different areas and with different surgeries. Abdominal skin, once tightened, should stay relatively tight over time as long as your weight is stable. This is because the hanging portion of the skin has been removed. In the breast, some of the weight is removed during the breast lift but much of it remains. Therefore, the breast tissue is more apt to stretch again over time. In general, any surgical lift (breast lift, facelift, neck lift) should last about 10-15 years. Adding implants, especially large implants, can increase this skin stretching and decrease the time between surgeries.

Answer: Factors, Expectations, and Consultation Guidance Thank you for your question. After the skin is filled up, as in the case of a breast lift with implants, the longevity of the skin might differ significantly based on several factors, including the quality of the skin, the surgical methods used, and the unique healing processes. The intended aesthetic effects can be obtained, and the stretched extra skin filled with implants can appear beautiful. However, the skin may stretch again with time, mainly if the implants are large since they put more strain on the tissue. Although the effects may persist for many years, age, pregnancy, smoking, and weight changes can all compromise the skin's integrity and cause further drooping. Speaking with a board-certified surgeon who can assess you to get the most appropriate advice and expectations is advisable.

Answer: Loose skin changes with breast augmentation and abdominoplasty Some aspects of the skin changes with a "fill" or a "pull" as in mastopexy, or breast augmentation. The skin will "appear" tight or less wrinkly, but it's true texture does not change. Some factors are genetically determined and the process of aging in great part depends on it. When the skin that you are showing in your abdomen is so loose and you have stretch marks, the only way to have any improvement is to cut the extra skin and tighten the rest (abdominoplasty).

Answer: Due the results last? How the skin reacts is due to many factors, including genetics, previous stretching, and ongoing forces. In weight loss patients, the dermis has been injured and will soften in most surgical cases. If you have good elastic tone, the results are often well maintained. Recurrence of saggy skin is probably most often seen with breast surgery. When choosing to have a breast lift with augmentation, patients should consider that the result will often soften over time and further surgery may be needed, whether in 3 months, 10 years, or hopefully never.
