Breast Augmentation Surgery After Weight Loss
Saggy Breasts After Weight Loss? Breast Augmentation to the Rescue
Rapid or substantial weight loss, regardless of the method, can have the unfortunate side-effect of leading to a loss of volume and elasticity in the breasts. This is because the breasts are composed of both fatty tissue and glandular tissue. When weight is lost quickly, the body sheds fat at an accelerated rate, including those in the breasts. This loss of tissue can cause the breasts to lose their fullness and become saggy or deflated.
This problem is even more widespread now, as millions of women across the country are rapidly shedding weight with medications like Ozempic and Wegovy. Fortunately, breast augmentation surgery at AMAE Plastic Surgery in Birmingham, MI can help restore lost breast volume and address the aesthetic concerns associated with post-weight loss breast changes.
For many individuals, breast augmentation surgery offers a solution to restore fullness and symmetry to the breasts after shedding excess pounds. In this article, renowned board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Ali in Birmingham, MI, explores the use of breast augmentation surgery after weight loss, including the procedure details, the options available, and the benefits of considering breast augmentation surgery after weight loss to give you the perfect shape you’ve always wanted.
Understanding Breast Augmentation Surgery
Breast augmentation surgery, also known as augmentation mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to enhance the size, shape, and symmetry of the breasts. The procedure involves the placement of either saline or silicone implants to add breast volume and achieve the desired aesthetic outcome. Dr. Ali specializes in breast augmentation surgery in Birmingham, MI, offering women personalized treatment plans tailored to their unique goals and anatomical considerations.
Benefits of Breast Augmentation Surgery After Weight Loss
Breast augmentation surgery after weight loss offers many benefits.
The primary goal of breast augmentation after weight loss is restoring breast volume. Significant weight loss can lead to deflated or sagging breasts due to loss of fat and tissue volume. Breast augmentation surgery can restore lost volume and improve breast shape, enhancing the overall appearance of the bust.
Breast augmentation after weight loss can also enhance body proportions. Achieving a balanced and proportionate silhouette is essential after weight loss. Breast augmentation surgery can help create harmony between the breasts and the rest of the body, improving overall body proportions and enhancing self-confidence.
Additionally, breast augmentation surgery can be combined with breast lift surgery after weight loss, to reposition sagging and dropping breasts in a higher, ‘perkier,’ more youthful position.
Regaining a fuller and more youthful breast appearance can have a positive impact on self-esteem and body image. Breast augmentation surgery allows patients to feel more confident and comfortable in their bodies after weight loss.
Breast Augmentation Surgery Options After Weight Loss
As long as you have reinvented yourself and recontoured your body with weight loss – why not get the breasts you have always wanted, as well, to complement your new look! There are many options for improving the size, shape, and placement of your breasts with augmentation surgery:
Breast Implant Types: Patients can choose between saline and silicone implants, each offering unique advantages. Saline implants are filled with sterile saltwater and provide a rounder shape and a firmer feel. While silicone breast implants – sometimes called ‘gummy bear’ implants – consist of silicone gel and offer a more natural shape and feel.
Breast Implant Placement: Breast implants can also be placed either above the chest muscle (subglandular) or beneath the chest muscle (submuscular). Dr. Ali will discuss the pros and cons of each placement option with each patient during their consultation – to determine the most suitable approach based on the woman’s unique anatomy and her aesthetic goals.
Breast Lift: Breast implant surgery may also sometimes give the best results for weight loss patients when combined with a breast lift. This procedure can reposition and lift breasts that are sagging and drooping due to weight loss.
