I'm only 21 and I don't want to have a breast lift. My breast is dropping now after giving birth and before birth I had some nice sexy breasts. Does it have a way for my breasts to lift back up and be full without going through surgery? It's been 10 months now since I had my baby.

Breast Lift without Surgery

Thank you for the question. Unfortunately, there is no way to achieve a breast lift other than with surgery. Breast lifting involves tightening of the breast skin envelope (usually by removing loose skin). There may come a time in your life when you are prepared to accept the scars associated with breast lifting in return for improvement in breast position/ shape/ contour. Breast implants may or may not be helpful. Best wishes.

Non-surgical breast lift

Once gravity and stretching have done their job on you, it is impossible for the breasts to re-elevate absent surgery which would involve either augmentation alone, mastopexy alone or a combination approach.

Can you lift Breasts without Surgery

The short answer is NO. There is no way to lift your breasts without surgery, however, this does not necessarily mean you need a breast lift. Instead, you may be a candidate for a simple breast augmentation to restore your pre-pregnancy volume and give you back your perky breasts. Unfortunately, if after 10 months there has been no improvement in your breast droop, then it is unlikely to get any better with more waiting and time. Good luck

Breasts after pregnancy

Unfortunately, if your breasts at ten months after delivery have not gotten better, they probably will not without surgery.

Breast implants, mastopexy, or both

With pregnancy or weight loss, women often notice sagging and loss of volume in the breasts. Implants alone can restore volume, particularly in the upper aspects of the breasts, and can provide some apparent lifting as well. However, if the sagging is fairly pronounced (nipples at or below the inframammary creases), then a lift would be best to give a good shape to the breasts. Mastopexies (breast lifts) can be performed with various scar patterns, most of which are disguised by the natural... more

Breast lift without surgery.ss

It is hard enough to get longevity with breast lift even with surgery. So definitely there is no non surgical treatment. Having said that, the breasts after pregnancy deflate and often a breast augmentation can restore the pre pregnancy appearance. the augmentation surgery can be done with minimal scaring on the breast. Therefore it is more accepted by patients who object to the scars from a breast lift.

Breast lift without surgery

SEE VIDEO BELOW: If we could figure out how to lift breasts without surgery, we would have a way to avoid face lifts, eye lifts, tummy tucks, etc. Unfortunately, despite what you read, there are no consistent and reliable methods to definitively lift the breasts non-surgically at this point in time. see video

The simple answer is no. There are several options to treat breast sagging after childbirth. Many of the options have been illustrated already by my colleagues. If you are reading/hearing about breast lift without surgery - approach with caution: if it sounds too good to be true...then you know the rest...

Lifting the breast without surgery?

There is no way to get the effect of a breast lift without surgery. Implants alone also won't lift you if the nipple and areola have drifted south. Please also avoid treatments like Thermage as the long-term effects of deep heating the breast are not known and any lift gained would be so minimal as to not be worth the risk and expense in my opinion.

Lifting breasts without surgery not possible

If they have not gone up 10 months after your delivery it is NOT likely that you can do anything (such as diet or exercise), take anything (supplements or vitamins), smear anything (wraps or lotions) or be treated with anything (Lights or lasers) that would lift your breasts to their pre-pregnancy state. If you are done having children, and want perky, attractive breasts you SHOULD consider a breast lift (Mastopexy) with or without implants. Good Luck.

How to get perky breasts without a lift.

Without pictures it is hard to make a definite statement for you. Some patients need to restore fullness in the upper part of the breast; this can be done with an implant. However, if the position of the nipple is too low on the breast, then the solution is a mastopexy ie surgery. There is no other way to reposition the nipple. Hope this helps. Tracy M. Pfeifer, MD, MS
