Breast Lift Alternatives

The only alternative is surgery is a push-up or specialty bra. I would suggest that you consult with a well trained board certified plastic surgeon in your area.

Unfortunately not

There is no durable way to lift and reshape ptotic or droopy breasts without some type of surgical intervention. There are some laser companies that claim that their lasers, when applied onto the breast skin, can "lift" the breast, but when you look carefully at their before and after pictures, there is very little if any improvement, and certainly if you need a significant lift or have thin skin, this will absolutely not work. If you are truly averse to any type of surgical... more

Natural or non-surgical breast lift

There are no creams or exercises that can firm up your breasts. Other than the wounder-bra the only other thing is to get a breast implant in addition to breast lift. adding volume to the breast can to some extend reduce the extend of necessary breast lift and thus scars.

Non-surgical Breast Lift - Not effective

For sagging breasts with excess skin or a low set nipple, only a surgical breast lift can help place the nipple where it belongs and increase overall fullness of your breast. I would not waste money on any non-surgical options as you will likely regret it.

Unfortunately there are no non-surgical treatments for sagging breasts

The only non-surgical way to treat breast sagging is with well-fit undergarments. There just isn't any other way to deal with this other than surgery. Surgery can augment the size with implants and lift the breast with a mastopexy. Remember that implants don't "lift" your breast by themselves and move the nipple higher.

Non Surgical Breast Lift - Possible??

There is no Natural non surgical lift for you unless you can sleep upside down for the next several years to undo what gravity and weight has done to your breasts. In that case if you are surgery adverse, you might want to go to Victoria's Secret or other specialty bra store that specializes in push up, wonder, miracle type bras.Creams, lasers, devices, lotions, and other potions are all hype without scientific merit.

No nonsurgical treatment for breast sagging

The only alternative to surgery for breast ptosis is a well fitted bra. Don't waste your hard earned money on pills, pumps, creams, etc!

There is no non-surgical breast lift.

There is no non-surgical, natural breast lift. Breast gets saggy as we lose volume in the breast and retain that excess breast skin. Short of rearranging the underlying breast tissue and removing the excess skin, you will not achieve perkier breasts. If something (pills, creams, massages) sounds too good to be true, it probably will not work.

"Natural" breast lift without surgery. Uh, No.

The equation for droop is too much skin, not enough breast tissue. This is treated with an implant, and/or taking away skin, (Mastopexy). Exercises, pills, creams, meditation, etc; will not correct the anatomical abnormality. Best to see a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. He will evaluate your situation. Together you will come up with an appropriate plan for you.

I am not aware of any non-surgical treatments that are available to perform breast lift.

I am not aware of any non-surgical treatments that are available to perform a breast lift that has any amount of success or durability. You will sometimes hear of pills or creams but those are all scams.

Nonsurgical Breast Lift: Not Yet!

Unfortunately, there are no effective alternatives to surgery to improve the appearance of sagging breasts. Depending upon the cause of sagging, the best solution would be breast augmentation with implants, a breast lift procedure, or a combination of both.

"Natural" breast lift = surgery

There is no such thing as a breast lift that doesn't require surgery. If you seriously want to change the shape of your breasts, you should seek a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon (not a "cosmetic surgeon"). Hear what she has to say, then decide if the procedures offered are right for you. The time to do the surgery is when the idea of the scars is more appealing to you than keeping your current breasts.

Non surgical lift not a viable option

Non surgical breast lift is not a viable option. many pills, products claim that it could enlarge the breast, the reality is that breast enlargement needs an implant and/or lift.

Hisham Seify, MD, PhD

Only treatment for saggy breasts is surgery.

Sagging breasts (ptosis) has no non-surgical treatment that I am aware of. A mastopexy or breast lift is needed to fix the problem. If the amount of sagging is modest and the patient also wants larger breasts, a breast augmentation may be able to solve both problems. A good plastic surgeon can guide a patient to the most suitable choice.

No exercises or nonsurgical maneuvers will help breasts

Many women use the" pencil rule", where they place a pencil underneath the breast and if it stays there without falling out, they are candidates for a breast lift. Because breast tissue is really an extension of your skin, working out to increase your muscle mass won't help. Many women develop breast ptosis ,or sagging ,after having children or after losing significant weight. In addition, they may have stretch marks on their breasts which signals that the dermal layer of... more

Surgical options most effective for breast enlargement

Breast surgery that consists of either a lift, augmentation or both are really your only options currently. There have been products marketed as "breast enhancing pills," but they do not work. Further, the so-called "Bo-tox Breast Lift" is not a viable option.

Kevin Brenner, MD
Los Angeles Plastic Surgeon

Sagging breasts no option but surgery

If your breast sag, and you want them lifted, there really is no way to lift them and improve their shape without a surgical procedure. Sorry for the bad news.

The low down on non-surgical breast lifts (mastopexy)

SEE VIDEO FOR BREAST LIFT WITHOUT IMPLANTS: I would not waste my money on non-surgical correction of sagging (ptotic) breasts. Despite the claims made with such techniques as the Botox lift, I have not been impressed. Sagging can be due to volume loss (most commonly following nursing, pregnancy, or weight loss) or due to true breast descent on the chest. The former is managed with implants whereas the latter is treated with surgical rearrangement of the skin and breast gland. more

No quick fix

I agree completely with the other surgeons who stated that there is simply no answer to a sagging breast other than surgery. The other important thing to remember is that all of the creams and potions advertised for this are nonsense. I have ladies come in frequently telling me about the list of creams they have spent hundreds of dollars on with no benefit. When you are ready, see a plastic surgeon about a breast lift. Good luck!
