If there is a known cause, then we would investigate that further first. There may be some routine blood tests required and occasionally radiology investigations. If there is no known cause, then surgery options would be discussed during your consultation. Some cases can be treated with liposuction or ‘suction lipectomy’. Others are treated with direct excision of fibrous breast tissue via a small incision at the base of the areola.
In cases where drooping breasts or excess loose skin is present, perhaps following significant weight loss, other cosmestic surgery methods may be required, such as a breast reduction (‘mammaplasty’) or breast lift (‘mastopexy’). This may involve removing excess fat and breast tissue, recontouring the chest and repositioning the nipples.
Your Assure Specialist Plastic Surgeon will take your physical condition and individual needs into consideration to determine the technique that is best for you.
