Breast Lift Without Surgery?

The best option if you really don't want to undergo surgery is to make an investment in excellent undergarments. See a qualified bra fitter. You would be amazed at the outcome you can find when the proper bra is selected and worn properly. Good luck.

Diet and exercise will certainly have some impact on the overall size of your breasts if you have a large amount of fatty tissue within your breasts currently. While seemingly benign and the prospect for exciting and remarkable results, pills and creams for reduction of breast size are not adequately regulated and without good research to show its safety and efficacy, let alone its results. Breast reduction via surgical excision or liposuction would be the best method for reducing the size of your breasts. Results are excellent with minimal complications. Women tolerate this procedure very well and almost all are very happy with her results. It is one of the most popular procedures in plastic surgery today. I would recommend a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options and to assist you in determining if breast reduction is right for you. Best of luck! Hope that these answers help you!

It would be great if there
were some kind of exercise, magic wand or cream that could perk up the breasts.
From the surgical standpoint, the best option for lifting the breasts is
either a breast augmentation and/or a breast lift. Sometime a combination of
the two procedures will provide the best results possible. Sincerely,Joshua Kreithen, M.D.

You can try skin tightening technologies but you would probably only be able to achieve a minor lift since there's a lot of tissue that needs to be tightened in order to get a noticeable lift. It's more effective to get surgery, or to wear a bra.

Nonsurgical skin tightening treatments tend to be unpredictable and may take several sessions to achieve visible results. You can try, but so far none have been as effective as breast lift surgery. Talk to an experienced board certified plastic surgeon about the periareolar ("donut" or Benelli) technique. The periareolar ("donut" or Benelli) technique is suitable for the treatment of mild to moderate ptosis (classified as grade I or II). It is also the least invasive form of breast lift. You may find that you won't be able to achieve the results you want with this technique.

It is unlikely that you will be able to lift your breasts without surgery.  Aside from breast lift surgery, fat grafts or implants would be small incision options for lifting some breasts.

The equation for droop is too much skin, not enough breast tissue. This is treated with an implant, and/or taking away skin, (Mastopexy). Exercises, pills, creams, meditation, etc; will not correct the anatomical abnormality. Best to see a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. He/she will evaluate your situation. Together you will come up with an appropriate plan for you. 

         Breast sag can
adversely impact a women’s self image, self confidence, and self esteem and for
this reason many seek correction of this problem. However, they are often
afraid of surgery and therefore look for other non surgical solutions. These
may include laser treatments, exercises, pills and topical creams. None of
these treatments have been shown to be effective in addressing breast sag.

 

         Unfortunately,
surgery with removal of excess skin is necessary to correct this problem. This
requires a breast lift procedure. 

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.

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 only going to help patients who need minimal lifting.
There are other techniques that create less scarring with a more formal lift. I would also advice the use of silicone sheets and lasers to assist with minimizing scar formation post-operatively.
Good Luck,
