I Have Loose Skin on my Breasts. Would a Fat Transfer Make More Sense then Removing the Skin Itself?

I have C cup sized breast with loose skin, sagging breasts and stretch marks. I was considering a fat transfer to plump them up but read on here its not very reliable. Would it make more sense to just remove the excess skin? Are there any other suggestions? I am 5'2, 120 pounds.

Fat transfer to breasts instead of lift

Thanks for your question. In our San Francisco area practice we routinely perform fat transfer for buttocks enhancement, facial rejuvenation and breast enhancement. The challenge in your situation has to do with the amount of breast sag you have and the amount of excess skin. In most cases, fat transfer can't match the changes that a breast lift (mastopexy) can provide. Find a board certified plastic surgeon familiar and experienced with both techniques and see what's right for you. I hope this helps.
