Question

Severe sag low breast fold heavy painful breast. Can this be corrected?

Gary M. Horndeski, MD · Answer

Your breasts have bottomed out from an inadequate lift.  The technique I recommend is The Bellesoma Lift.  This will reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage.  Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained, if not injured during your previous surgery.  Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Hello, thank you for your question. based on your photos it seems like you may benefit from a breast lift revision. I recommend you to schedule an email or Skype consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon.

Good afternoon!

You have bottoming out of your breast lift- where all of the remaining tissue is located in the lower pole of your breasts and is weighing down heavily onto your breast folds. I would recommend the Original Internal Bra, my strong permanent internal suturing technique which will lift this tissue up and take the weight off your skin!

Sam Speron, MD, FACS · Answer

A lift  can significantly move the breast upward to give them more upper pole fullness  with their own tissue. Sometimes, if there's not much firmness or density to the breast and it is mostly just skin, an implant is a good option. It really depends on your examination.
I strongly feel that it's very important to have an honest conversation with your surgeon about your particular situation, lifestyle, work environment and specifically which procedures you're having done so that you both have the most honest answer about your recovery and are realistic with expectations and results.
I would recommend that you see a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area that is a member of both ASPS & ASAPS and performs a lot of short scar breast reductions/lifts as well as breast implant surgery. Good luck with your future surgery!

Hi Kash, I think that your mastopexy can be revised to lessen the heaviness on your breasts and also to give you a better look. Please visit several board certified plastic surgeons in your area to discuss your concerns. You will probably need o repeat the mastopexies, at the very least.Best Wishes,Dr. Christine Rodgers

Dear Kash1818,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Based on your photos, it looks like you would benefit from a revision surgery. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Yes, more tissue can be removed and the excess skin can be trimmed with the inferior incision. Stretched out sagging skin does not hold well over time. Having less weight will be helpful.
