I lost weight and now my breasts have deflated and has become wrinkly, what are my options?

Thanks for your question. Congrats on your weight loss. Your deflation is very common and is normally treated with a combination of a lift and implant placement. Given your height/weight, it is unlikely that you have enough breast tissue to reshape the breast w/o an implant. Also the loss of elasticity in the breast envelope can make it difficult to support the implant and lift; in which case we use a mesh support like GalaFORM sometimes. Find a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in your area that is an ASAPS member and specializes in aesthetic breast surgery. Best of Luck!

Thank you for your question. Based on the details you’ve provided, you could benefit from a breast lift and augmentation, which could alleviate some of the stress on your back and neck as well as correct the deflated look you’ve described. A breast reduction may be another option, but it’s difficult to say without seeing photographs. The best way to figure out which type of breast surgery can help you reach your ideal look and make sure you feel comfortable is to schedule a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area.
Best of luck!

Breasts that are saggy and deflated can certainly be lifted to improve the appearance.  If you would like the size to be increased, an implant can be placed at the same time.  Find a board certified plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials (American Board of Plastic Surgery certification, education, experience, training) who performs hundreds of breast lifts each year.  Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries and read patient reviews.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

First, congrats on your weight loss.  Unfortunately, without pictures it is hard to make give you accurate input.  However, in general, if your breasts are deflated and really sagging then you may need implants + a breast lift (mastopexy).  See a qualified plastic surgeon in person to learn all of your options. See my link below to learn more about combination breast augmentation + mastopexy.   Best of luck to you. 

Thank you for you question,           The Bellesoma Method is a current technique to lift and/or reduce breasts without using implants or the ugly vertical scars.  The incisions are hidden around the areola and in the inframammary crease. The vertical incision has been completely eliminated. The areola incision heals almost invisibly due to the fact that there is hardly any tension on the closure. With this particular technique, ducts are preserved along with nerve supply maintaining nipple sensation and the ability to breast feed. Because the breast is reshaped internally and is secured to your chest muscles, upper pole fullness is possible without an implant. Attached is a patient who underwent The Bellesoma Method. Please note that her tissue was used to create upper pole fullness and cleavage without any foreign materials (mesh, implants, etc).  Unfortunately, we do not accept insurance for breast reductions.  Dr. Horndeski does not remove enough breast tissue to meet insurance criteria.  Instead, he utilizes the breast tissue to reshape the breast.  It is a proprietary technique that only surgeons that have been trained by me can perform. I hope this helps. Best wishes and kind regards, Dr. Gary Horndeski

Dear rhiadedel,it is hard to tell without an examination. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS

Its hard to make a surgery plan without photos, but it seems as though your breasts have deflated a lot since your weight loss and now all that's left is a lot of excess skin.  A breast lift, with or without some adjustment to your breast fullness would probably be the best operation for you.

Thank you for your question and congratulations on your successful weight loss. I suggest that you seek a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon. Before you go, consider what you would like your breasts to look like in terms of shape and size. After your plastic surgeon has examined you and evaluated where you are starting, he/she can explain your options to you.  The more you can describe your goals, the closer you can achieve them! Be sure to ask all of your questions. Good luck!
