How can I address sagging boobs even after a breast lift? (Photos)

Addressing sagging breasts even after a breast lift can be challenging, but there are several options available. It's important to remember that no method is guaranteed to completely eliminate sagging, as natural aging and gravity can continue to affect breast tissue over time. However, you can try the following approaches:1.) Maintain a Healthy Lifestyle:• Eating a balanced diet can help you maintain your overall health and skin elasticity.• Regular exercise, including chest exercises, can strengthen the muscles underneath your breasts, which may provide some lift and support.2.) Wear Supportive Bras:• Invest in well-fitting, supportive bras that provide adequate lift and minimize sagging. Bras with underwire and wide straps can offer better support.3.) Topical Treatments:• There are various creams and lotions on the market that claim to firm and tighten the skin. While they may not produce dramatic results, some people find them beneficial for improving skin texture and elasticity.4.) Hydration and Moisturization:• Keeping your skin well-hydrated by drinking enough water and using moisturizers can help maintain skin elasticity.5.) Avoid Smoking and Excessive Sun Exposure:• Smoking can contribute to skin aging and loss of elasticity. Quitting smoking can have a positive impact on the appearance of your skin.• Protect your skin from excessive sun exposure, as UV radiation can lead to premature aging and sagging. Use sunscreen and protective clothing when outdoors.6.) Consider Non-Surgical Procedures:• Non-surgical treatments such as radiofrequency (e.g., Morpheus8 or Venus Freeze)) can stimulate collagen production and improve skin elasticity. Consult with a qualified cosmetic dermatologist or plastic surgeon to discuss these options.7.) Cosmetic Fillers:• Dermal fillers like hyaluronic acid can be used to add volume and improve the appearance of the upper part of the breast, especially in cases of minor sagging.8.) Surgical Revision:• In some cases, a secondary breast lift (revision mastopexy) may be necessary to address recurrent sagging after a previous breast lift surgery. Consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options.9.) Manage Weight Fluctuations:• Maintain a stable weight, as significant weight fluctuations can impact breast tissue and lead to sagging.10.) Realistic Expectations:• It's important to have realistic expectations. No treatment can completely defy gravity, and natural aging will continue to affect your breasts over time.Consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon or a qualified medical professional is crucial to determine the most appropriate approach for your specific situation. They can assess your breasts, discuss your goals, and recommend the best course of action, whether it involves non-surgical or surgical interventions.

Your results are typical of the lollipop or anchor techniques. I recommend The Bellesoma Method. This will reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained if not injured during your previous surgery.

Hello, thank you for your question. You have a great result from what I can tell in the photo. The issue with any breast lift is that over time even with a supportive bra, breast gland will continue to droop and skin will continue to stretch and sag. Over time even with implants breast will fall. You should always wear a good supportive bra all the time especially during physical activity. That is very considerate of the surgeon to revise that for you! At the end of the day, we always try our best to make the patients happy but environmental and genetic factors sometimes can get in the way.
