Your Best Options for Breast Reshaping after Weight Loss

Losing a significant amount of weight is a major milestone that greatly affects your health. However, losing fat doesn’t always mean you are left with the figure you really want. This is especially true when it comes to the breasts. Losing a significant amount of weight can greatly affect the volume of your breasts, but it can also affect their appearance as skin may not be able to bounce back after weight loss, often resulting in sagging breasts. The good news is there are procedures that can help you address these challenges and deliver the breasts you are looking for.

Addressing the Loss of Breast Volume

After significant weight loss, it is not uncommon to lose volume in the breasts. This often leaves you with deflated looking breasts. Breast augmentation and the use of silicone or saline breast implants helps restore the lost volume in the breasts and delivers a fuller, more supple appearance.

Sagging and Skin Laxity

Losing a significant amount of weight, especially as you age, can often result in loose or sagging skin. In the breasts, this lack of skin elasticity can cause the breasts to sag much lower on the chest wall. A breast lift, or mastopexy, can remove excess skin and restore a much perkier appearance to the breasts. This procedure can not only raise and reshape the sagging breasts but can also resize or reposition the nipples and areolas to their ideal position.

Combining Procedures

If you are experiencing sagging and a loss of breast volume after significant weight loss, combining both a breast augmentation and lift can help you achieve optimal results. In addition, you may consider adding additional procedures, such as a tummy tuck to remove sagging abdominal skin and tighten the muscles as well as liposuction to address areas of stubborn fat. Combining these procedures into one allows you to address many concerns at once, with one recovery time, allowing you to get the body you worked hard for.

If you have lost a significant amount of weight and have been left with sagging skin or a loss of breast volume, a breast lift or breast augmentation procedure can help you restore a more youthful, supple breast appearance. Adding in other procedures, such as a tummy tuck or liposuction, allows you to tighten skin around the abdomen as well. A skilled cosmetic surgeon will be able to review your anatomy, your health history, and your long-term appearance goals to help you develop a surgical plan that makes sense.
