Losing a significant amount of weight is an amazing achievement. However, it can sometimes impact your breast appearance, especially if you have breast implants.
Weight loss affects natural breast tissue and can influence your implants’ look, feel, and position. If you’ve experienced sagging, asymmetry, or a loss of fullness, breast implant revision or replacement can help restore your desired shape and confidence.
Are you concerned about changes to your implants after weight loss? Dr. John J. Corey, an award-winning plastic surgeon at Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, offers tailored solutions to help you look and feel better than ever.
How Weight Loss Affects Breast Implants
When you lose a lot of weight, the natural fatty tissue in your breasts decreases. Implants themselves do not shrink or adjust with weight loss, though. This imbalance can result in noticeable shifts, such as:
- Sagging or drooping due to loss of volume in the surrounding tissue.
- Asymmetry – one breast appears higher or fuller than the other.
- A less natural appearance, particularly if your skin has lost elasticity.
Certain factors can further influence these changes. This includes the size and type of your implants and the amount of weight lost.
How Breast Implant Revision or Replacement Can Help
If weight loss has affected your implants, breast implant revision or replacement could be the answer. These procedures can address sagging, restore symmetry, and enhance your look.
Depending on your needs, your options may include:
- Replacement: Breast implant replacement involves adjusting implant size or shape for a better fit.
- Revision: Revision entails correcting or adjusting existing implants. You may also combine a revision with a breast lift to correct sagging and create a more youthful contour.
Dr. Corey and his team customize each procedure to match your goals. They work hard to ensure natural, beautiful results for all patients.
