There are multiple different options including thigh lift, renuvion, breast lift, and fat transfer to the breasts. Each surgeon will have different options depending on their expertise. Without photos or an examination, a surgeon will not be able to comment on exactly which procedures you will benefit from. It is best to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon in-person. Good luck!

This sounds like a seroma. This is a complication that likely will not resolve on its own. You need to be re-evaluated by your plastic surgeon. Hope this helps. Good luck!

You are a good candidate for a breast reduction. The difference for me is that a breast reduction involves removing some breast tissue. In a breast lift, only the skin is removed. This means that a breast reduction will always involve sending the breast tissue to pathology for evaluation. In your case a breast reduction will help to reduce the volume of the breasts to a C cup and will also remove the excess skin and make the areola smaller. Hope that helps. Good luck!
