Breast Lifting Exercises

There are no exercises to lift the breast. Pectoralis strengthening will change the shape of your chest but not your breast. The best approach to deflation of the breast is a consultation with a Plastic Surgeon.

Exercises to avoid a breast lift.

Thank you for your question. I see a similar question frequently when it comes from the abdomen. Most of my patients want to know what they can do to tighten loose breasts and abdominal skin after childbearing. The the short and unfortunate answer is not much.

The paradox of exercising, which I strongly... more
