Retin-A on breasts safe?

Amanda77745Jun 18, 2015
I have read about the benefits of Tretinoin including increased collagen, firmness, and increased elasticity to the skin. My question is, would Retin-A applied to the breasts have the same effect? Would it be safe to do so? ( I use it on my face nightly and love the results) My breasts are drooping slightly and I want to wait as long as possible for a lift. Even if it won't correct sag will it prevent future sagging?

There are many options for treatment and are best in combination.  I suggest seeing a cosmetic dermatologist with experience in treating this area.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Retin A cannot tighten, it can only help fine lines.  Sculptra and Thermage followed by venus legacy or velashape are my best combination to fight wrinkling arms.  ThermiRF is a good surgical option.  Best, Dr. Emer.

You can continue with those medications in the summer but sunblock is the most important thing you can do to help. Use a sunscreen with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide, and keep with the hat and maybe a scarf or collared shirt when in the sun.
