Losing weight can be a challenging process – from changing your diet and exercise regimen to the joys and frustrations when checking the scale. But once you’ve arrived at your target weight, you have so much to be proud of, including improved health, sleeker figure, and a boost in self-confidence. Though you may enjoy your ability to wear a more extensive selection of clothing, you may notice some other changes to your body.
Often, significant weight loss brings unwanted loose and sagging skin tissue, including droopy breasts. Santa Barbara women struggling with skin laxity look to their triple board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Sara Yegiyants to address this unfortunate consequence. Fortunately, you have various options for correcting this cosmetic concern, but none is more effective than breast augmentation surgery.
Weight Loss and Your Breasts
Since your breasts are almost entirely fat tissue, the effects of significant weight loss on their size, shape, and profile can be substantial. In addition, your breasts could lose some fullness and perkiness, especially if they were prominent before you embarked on your journey toward improved health and wellness.
Breast augmentation enhances your appearance after considerable weight loss. Implants add breast volume, reduce sagging, and improve your contours. Dr. Yegiyants can help you determine their size, shape, and surgical technique after you consult her about your cosmetic concern.
Should You Get a Breast Lift?
You might assume the only goal of breast surgery is to enlarge your breasts, but that’s not so. If you want to improve your breasts’ size, shape, elevation, and nipple position, you can combine a breast lift with implant surgery to help you achieve a youthful upward curve.
During a breast lift, Dr. Yegiyants removes excess fat and tightens breast tissue. Many women also opt to relocate the nipple/areola complex. To learn if you would benefit from a breast lift, look in the mirror and see if your nipples sit lower than your natural breast crease. Many women over 40 require a breast lift.
Because future weight changes can affect your breast surgery benefits, Dr. Yegiyants recommends you should wait until you’ve reached your ideal body weight and maintain it for at least a year before having a lift.
