I had a breast reduction years ago and I’ve lost a lot of weight

Question:

I had a breast reduction years ago and I’ve lost a lot of weight. My breasts have further reduced in size which I’m happy about but now they’re very saggy. Can a breast lift help and will it utilize the same incision lines that we used for the breast reduction so that I don’t end up with additional scarring?

Answer:

It is very common for women who’ve had breast reduction in the past to have another surgery later on in life with more skin that is excised. In fact, the use of breast implants on patients who had breast reductions is also quite common in our practice for women who have lost a lot of weight or have lost a lot of breast size. So, you can either excise more skin and reposition some breast tissue or do the same and add an implant for this particular situation.
