Breast Skin Laxity and Loss of Firmness Treatment in Albuquerque, NM
What Is Breast Skin Laxity?
Breast skin laxity, or a loss of firmness, develops when the skin’s supportive collagen and elastin network weakens faster than the skin can rebuild it, often alongside natural changes in breast tissue and volume. This is commonly noticed after breastfeeding, significant weight changes, or simply with age, and can extend to the décolletage, where thinner skin often shows crepiness sooner than other areas. At Enhanced Wellness NM, we evaluate your specific pattern of laxity and skin quality before recommending a plan, which typically addresses mild-to-moderate changes rather than significant sagging that may be better suited to a surgical lift.
What Causes Breast Skin Laxity?
Breast skin laxity and diminished firmness typically result from a combination of the following factors.
Breastfeeding-Related Changes
Breast tissue and skin can stretch during breastfeeding and may not fully regain their prior tone afterward.
Weight Fluctuation
Significant weight changes can stretch skin beyond what its existing collagen can support.
Collagen and Elastin Decline
As these structural proteins decrease with age, skin loses the recoil that keeps it fitted closely to the tissue beneath.
Thin Décolletage Skin
The skin across the chest is naturally thinner than in many other areas, making it more prone to visible crepiness.
Cumulative Sun Exposure
UV damage breaks down collagen, accelerating visible laxity, particularly on the frequently exposed décolletage.
What Body Systems Do We Evaluate?
- Skin structure and quality (collagen, elastin, thickness) in the breast and décolletage area
- Underlying breast tissue volume and support
- Circulation to the treatment area
- Cellular energy production in skin cells, relevant to regenerative options
Appropriate Testing for Breast Skin Laxity
Visual assessment of skin laxity and firmness across the breast and décolletage
Skin quality evaluation, including elasticity, thickness, and sun damage
Review of relevant history, including breastfeeding, weight changes, and prior procedures
Review of your health history and medications relevant to regenerative treatment candidacy
The Restore Breast Lift
Uses your own platelet-rich plasma, injected directly into breast tissue to support firmness and shape using your body’s own regenerative properties. This option addresses mild-to-moderate laxity and is not a substitute for a surgical lift in cases of more significant sagging.
PRP Therapy for Décolletage Skin
Applies platelet-rich plasma to the chest and décolletage, often alongside microneedling, to support collagen production and improve crepey texture in this thinner-skinned area.
What Your First Visit Involves
A private conversation about whether the breast tissue, décolletage, or both, concern you most, and what the primary driver is behind what you’re noticing.
A comprehensive evaluation of your skin quality, breast tissue firmness, and health history.
A tailored treatment plan outlining whether the Restore breast lift, PRP therapy for the décolletage, or a combined approach fits your specific case.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who may benefit from treatment for breast skin laxity or loss of firmness?
Patients noticing mild sagging or diminished firmness after breastfeeding, weight changes, or aging, as well as those with crepey décolletage skin, may benefit from an assessment.
How does treatment for breast skin laxity work?
The Restore breast lift uses PRP injected into breast tissue to directly support firmness, while PRP therapy for the décolletage supports collagen production at the skin’s surface. Your specific combination depends on your assessment and which areas concern you most.
What does a session feel like?
Both options involve an injection with topical numbing to minimize discomfort, and each session typically takes under an hour.
How often is treatment recommended?
These treatments are typically recommended as a series of sessions spaced several weeks apart, with maintenance visits once your goals are met.
What results can I expect?
Most patients notice gradual improvement in firmness and texture over a series of sessions, though results vary by individual and the degree of laxity present. Your provider will set realistic expectations for your specific case, and significant sagging may be better addressed with a surgical lift.
Can these options be combined?
Yes. Many patients combine the Restore breast lift with PRP therapy for the décolletage as part of one coordinated plan, since each addresses a different area and tissue type.
Are there any contraindications?
Certain medications, pregnancy or breastfeeding, active infections, and some medical conditions can affect candidacy for these options. Your provider will review your health history before recommending a plan.
What does treatment cost?
Pricing depends on which options and how many sessions are part of your plan. Our team can walk you through current pricing during your consultation.
