How to Firm Sagging Breasts

Posted in Breast Implants, Breast Lift, Latest News, Mommy Makeover

One of the most frequent concerns experienced by patients we see here at our practice is what’s medically referred to as “breast ptosis.” Essentially, ptosis is a condition in which the breasts have accumulated an excess amount of skin that has resulted in a sagging or drooping appearance. Fortunately, there is a way to effectively and significantly firm sagging breasts and restore their youthful “perkiness.” Breast lift surgery is one of the most popular surgical aesthetic enhancement procedures available, and has helped women all over the world rejuvenate their breasts with beautiful results.

Breast lift surgery is designed to remove excess tissue that contributes to a sagging appearance and literally lift the breasts to a more desirable position on the chest. Ultimately, the procedure can give the breasts an improved projection, reposition the nipples to a more centralized location, and provide the skin with a smoother, firmer look and feel. Our board-certified plastic surgeon can also utilize a special material called the GalaFLEX^® Scaffold in breast lift procedures that can help slow the future effects of sagging and maintain the initial results for as long as possible. For patients who would like to add volume and fullness to the breasts in addition to addressing ptosis, a breast lift with augmentation procedure can achieve both of these goals.

While there is a lot of information available on the worldwide web claiming that certain types of exercise can help provide a “natural lift” to the breasts, it’s important to note that breast lift surgery is really the only way to address this concern in the most significant way possible. This treatment resolves the cause of the problem—excess, inelastic skin—in a way that even the most rigorous exercise programs simply cannot.
