Mastopexy can help to address post-pregnancy breast changes

Dramatic changes to the breast can occur with pregnancy and breast feeding. Residual effects can require surgery to restore a pre-pregnancy contour. Depending on the specifics in your case, details that can only be determined by an in-person consultation, mastopexy (breast lift), with or without implant exchange or other procedures, may be recommended. Specific recommendations can be discussed with a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area.

The only option would be a mastopexy, or implant exchange with mastopexy. You have skin laxity after pregnancy, and this will not improve without surgery. Good luck!
