Sagging cleavage post-reduction - can this be fixed? (Photos)

Question

After my breasts dropped I noticed wrinkling and sagging where my cleavage should be flat and smooth. I’m guessing the weight of my breasts is causing it and I’m really worried there’s nothing to be done. I went from 38 J to 34 DD though I had hoped to go smaller. This looks really bad in bikinis and low cut tops. please tell me it’s fixable!

es &mdash; this is fixable.What you’re seeing is stretched, thinned skin and loss of internal support in the cleavage area from years of heavy breast weight (such as a prior 38J). Even after reducing to a 34DD, the skin does not fully retract on its own, which leads to wrinkling and sagging in the medial and upper breast.The most effective solution is a breast lift (mastopexy), with or without additional reduction if you still wish to be smaller. A lift removes the excess wrinkled skin and reshapes the breast tissue to restore upper and central support, resulting in a smoother, flatter cleavage.Non-surgical treatments cannot correct this type of skin laxity. With the proper surgical technique, this is a very common and predictable correction.A consultation would confirm the best approach for your anatomy and goals.
