Denver Breast Contouring Specialist - Dr. Nick Slenkovich
With both men and women, losing large amounts of weight can result in saggy breasts. When a person loses weight, the fat in the breasts decreases. (For women, after age 20 the fat gradually takes over what used to be glandular matter in the breasts.) The skin stays as large as it was when the person weighed more but the fat that used to fill up the skin is gone. The result is sagging breasts.
This can be addressed in one of several different ways.
For women, breast implants can be used to fill up the space where fat used to be. For some women this is all that’s necessary.
Often, however, either along with or instead of breast implants -- or for women who do not need or want breast implants -- Dr. Slenkovich recommends one of the following breast lift procedures:
- If the breasts don’t sag too severely, Dr. Slenkovich can perform a circumareolar procedure. This requires only an incision around the areola.
- If the breasts sag a moderate amount Dr. Slenkovich can add to the circumareolar procedure an incision from the areola to the base of the breast for a more substantial breast lift.
- If the breasts sag severely ("ptotic breasts") Dr. Slenkovich normally recommends an anchor-type incision in addition to the above procedures.
Which surgery is most appropriate depends on how much sagginess or extra skin there is. For additional information call us or send us a confidential e-mail today.
For men, sometimes liposuction will be all that is necessary. Three to six months after the liposuction, depending on the results, any loose skin can be removed. After a few months the skin sometimes shrinks, rendering any more surgery unnecessary. An exciting procedure Dr. Slenkovich performs for some men involves removing excess skin from both the breast area and the upper arms (brachioplasty) at the same time. The resulting scar is then confined to the armpit. This is great for men who have hair on their chests and don’t want a scar on the chest area.
