Can a breast lift improve the appearance of stretch marks?
A breast lift primarily focuses on lifting and reshaping the breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue, which may help minimize the appearance of stretch marks to some extent. However, it’s important to note that the main goal of a breast lift is to address sagging or drooping breasts, and if stretch marks are a concern, additional treatments such as laser therapy or topical creams may be more effective in reducing their visibility.
