Breast Lift: Q&A
Ask a QuestionBreast Lift Without Surgery?
I want my breasts to be a little more lifted but I'm in no way ready for all the scars associated with full on breast lift surgery. Is it possible to get a breast lift without surgery, like with a skin tightening laser (Titan?) or something?

Breast Lift Without Surgery
A breast lift is required when the breast skin stretches so much that the nipple areolar complex is below the inframammary fold or the crease below the breasts. At this time there is no technology, other than surgery, that could tighten the skin so much that the nipple areolar complex is returned to it appropriate position. So unfortunately if you what the lift you'll have to accept the scars.

Skin tightening lasers will not lft breasts
Non surgical skin tightening technologies such as Laser, Radiofrequency (Thermage), and Infra red energy (Titan and LuxIR Deep) can only produce about 10-20% skin tightening in the face, a structure which does not have a heavy gravitational pull.
The breast weighs more and is subject to much more gravitational pull than is the face. These forces overcome any skin tightening effects of the non surgical skin tightening therapies.
Don't waste your money on these therapies.

Can breasts be "lifted" without surgery?
NO. A"lift " entails raising the nipple/areola complex back to it's original anatomic position and refoming the breast mound by taking in the breast skin (skin bra) in a three dimensional manner.
Lasers ,suction drugs.exercises can not do this. Se my site for other replys to similar questions and pix.

Breast Lift without Surgery?
Thank you for the question.
Unfortunately, there are no effective nonsurgical alternatives to breast lifting. Be very careful about aggressive marketing campaigns that will tell you otherwise.

Non surgical mastopexy
You are asking for a miracle cure that unfortunately does not exist. There are no definitive methods to tighten the skin despite the hype. If we could do it with breasts then we could do this for the rest of the body and eliminate face lifts, tummy tucks, etc.
Although we may disagree on many different topics, it appears from my colleagues opinions below that we all agree that there are no satisfactory non-surgical breast lifts.

Scarless breast lift
Any true lift of the breast will require some sort of scar. Botox will not do it, and certainly none of the lasers will. Sorry but no scarless breast lift.

Scarless Breast Lift
Every breast lift technique that works leaves some kind of scar. There simply is no reliable technology available to lift the breasts without leaving some sort of mark on the skin.
What we can do is to minimize the scars of a breast lift by leaving them only at the border of the areola in an effort to camouflage them. Another option might be to have an augmentation because this can create the illusion that the breast have been lifted due to the volume enhancement. These two options are...

Breast lift without the scars
Many patients share your concerns. I agree that there is no non-surgical method that is both effective and safe. The extent of the scar depends on how much excess skin you have. Without pictures, this is unknown. Keep in mind that some patients need only a peri-areolar scar while others might need a vertical scar and/or horizontal scar in the crease. The trade-off is the scar for the lift, as you said. As time goes on, the scars usually become less noticeable. In addition, LASER...

Breast lift without surgery
There are several reasons why breasts sag:
- you loose breast volume (while maintaining the same breast skin envelope),
- your breast skin envelopes increases (as after having a large breast implant ),
OR
- you lose breast volume AND have a larger skin envelope (as after pregnancy).
To lift the breast up the breast skin envelope MUST be made smaller; to increase the duration of the duration of the lift this is BEST done by shaping the breast gland itself (such as in a short scar breast...

Non-surgical breast lift??
There is presently no non-surgical breast lift that has been shown to be either safe or effective. Threadlifts have been promoted by non-plastic surgeons and have failed and even resulted in legal actions against the practitioner. Thermage and Titan may have unpredicted damage to the breast tissues because of exposing them to deep heating. Whether this can increase the risk of breast cancer is unknown. However, it is not worth taking any risk especially for a procedure which has never...
