Hello, I am currently looking into the breast reduction surgery to solve my issue. I am 18 years old, 5'3", and I weigh 106 lbs. Having lost a significant amount of weight, my breasts have deflated. The skin on my breasts folds in on itself to the point where even the nipple folds in. And there are wrinkles when I go without a bra. I have become very uncomfortable with my breasts because they are giving me back and neck pains. Would you recommend breast reduction for me? Thank you!

Answer: What to do with wrinkly breasts after weight loss 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.

Answer: The Bellesoma Method 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
