Can Thermage Be Used for Sagging and Excess Skin on the Breast Area?

The equation for droop is too much skin and not enough breast tissue.  Sometimes we put in an implant.  Sometimes we take away skin, (Mastopexy).  Sometimes we do both.  This allows proper nipple placement and restoration of upper pole fullness if desired.  Thermage is not the instrument to use for significant breast droop.

I would not advise you to undergo Thermage for any sizable improvement in breast droopiness.  A true breast lift will address skin excess, nipple position, and volume differentials.

Short answer is NO....best and most dramatic (and reliable) results are achieved with a Mastopexy or breast lift procedure. Excess skin is removed and the breast tissue is rotated and elevated to a higher position on the chest wall therefore rejuvenating the shape of the breast and the position of the Nipple Areolar Complex (NAC).

Sure, Thermage can be used for sagging and excess skin on the breast, but I can almost guarantee you that your results will be minimal (if your goals are to rejuvenate your breasts).

I do recommend you seek out a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon to consult with....he or she will evaluate your breasts, the sagging of the skin and breast tissue, and give you the best advice.

Hope this helps!

Thermage doesn't work, in my opinion, on anything but expecially on sagging breasts.  There are sometimes options to a formal breast lift but Thermage is not one of them.

The effects of radiofrequency energy on breast tissue are unknown and I would recommend that you avoid this for that reason. Furthermore, it is highly unlikely that it will provide you with the amount of lift you desire.
