Sagging, loose skin and lost volume are frequent concerns for individuals who have reached their weight-loss goals. If you’re struggling with these issues, a breast lift could help.

Dr. Paul Watterson, a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons, performs breast lift surgery on many women, including those who are not fully satisfied with their post-weight-loss bodies. Find out if it’s a good fit for you below.

How Weight Loss Affects the Breasts

Losing a great deal of weight impacts your entire body, and your breasts are no exception.

The breast tissue and surrounding skin can lose elasticity, leading to sagging and a deflated appearance. For some, this may result in asymmetry or discomfort when wearing certain types of clothing.

These effects can feel discouraging after working hard to lose weight. They may leave you wondering how to restore your body to look more proportional.

How a Breast Lift Can Help

A breast lift can combat sagging and restore a firmer, more youthful breast contour. This procedure removes excess skin, reshapes the breast tissue, and lifts the breasts so they sit higher on the chest.

For individuals who have lost a considerable amount of weight, a breast lift can be particularly effective in improving breast shape and symmetry. You can also combine the surgery with breast augmentation for a more dramatic change.

Beyond the aesthetic benefits, a breast lift, with or without augmentation, can also increase your confidence and help you feel more comfortable in your skin. 

It doesn’t matter if you want to achieve a balanced silhouette or enjoy wearing your favorite outfits again. This procedure is a powerful complement to your weight-loss journey.
