My breasts grew very rapidly aroun the age of 12. Since then I have had stretch marks around my entire breast. I am interested in getting a breast lift, but I don't want to spend the money and still have sagging breasts because of my damaged skin. I am only 23 and have not had children yet.

Answer: Will stretch marks change a breast lift?
Unfortunately, stretch marks usually will alter the long term results of a breast lift. A breast lift involves removing and tightening skin to lift the breast. Another important aspect of this procedure is anchoring or supporting the breast tissue mound to improve long term longevity. The type of procedure done, (ie. inverted "T" vs. short scar or vertical breast lift) will also affect how well the result holds up. This does not mean that you are not a candidate for the procedure, but depending on your anatomy, most patients with stretch marks and damaged skin will eventually need re-lifted. We can slow down the effects of gravity but not stop it all together. Good luck!

Answer: Palomar Starlux 1540 laser works best on stretchmarks!
The shape and size of your breasts will not be affected my the existing stretchmarks but the stretchmarks on the top half of your breast will not be removed with surgery alone. The Palomar system is the first laser system that has been FDA approved for stretchmark eradication. You may want to have the surgery and them be treated with the laser for the best outcome.
