Why Breasts Sag After Major Weight Loss
The skin and tissue of the breasts are particularly sensitive to volume fluctuations. After major weight loss, the supportive structures in the breast can become stretched and weakened, leading to a deflated appearance. Common concerns include:
- Drooping or flat-looking breasts
- Nipples that point downward or sit below the breast crease
- Loss of upper breast fullness
After all the work that went into losing weight, this can be emotionally frustrating. A breast lift can help restore both form and confidence.
What a Breast Lift Can Do
Mastopexy, or breast lift surgery, restores a more youthful breast contour by tightening skin and lifting the tissue. It does not significantly change the size of the breasts but repositions them for a firmer, more youthful appearance. Sometimes, a lift can be combined with implants for those who want to restore lost volume.
Benefits of a breast lift include:
- Repositioned and reshaped breasts for a natural contour
- Elevated nipples and areolas for improved symmetry
- Improved fit in clothing and swimwear
- Enhanced body confidence and self-image
Who is a Good Candidate for a Breast Lift After Weight Loss
If you’ve experienced major weight loss and are left with sagging, flattened breasts, you may be a strong candidate for a breast lift. Ideal candidates are those in good health who have maintained a steady weight and are unhappy with drooping breasts or low nipple position. It’s also important to have realistic expectations and a commitment to recovery.
A consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon at DVA Plastic Surgery can help determine whether a breast lift is the next step in your transformation.
