Repair of Cooper's Ligaments or Breast Lift?
Unfortunately, Cooper's ligaments cannot be repaired. It may be helpful to you to seek consultation with well experienced board-certified plastic surgeons to review your options after physical examination and discussion of your goals.

Breast lift
No one can fix Cooper's ligaments of your breasts. AS we age the tissue loose strength and things start to hang more. No one can guarantee that you will have perfectly normal sensation as well.

You can't tighten Cooper's ligaments of th breast
Some people are blessed with firmer breast tissue than others. This you cannot change. Cooper's ligaments are not structures that you can tighten like you could around a joint. A breast lift will help but there is always some small risk of numbness.

Cooper's ligament repair or replacement, or breast lift
Unlike in certain orthopedic surgical cases, (Sir Astley) Cooper's (breast) ligaments cannot be repaired or replaced once they are stretched.
The ONLY option remains a Breast Lift (with or without implants. Loss of sensitivity is associated with every operation where the skin is lifted off.
