Breast shapes and sizes vary between patients. "Sagging" for one patient may actually only be loss of breast volume. True sagging, where the skin is stretched out and the nipple sits too low, usually requires some sort of breast lift. Loss of volume is usually best treated with an implant.... more

A: Options to perk up sagging breasts after childbirth
Your options for perking up your breasts after time and pregnancy have taken its toll are mainly surgical. Yes, a good push-up bra that is well padded can help make you look better in clothes, but will not help on your naked body. The only real option is a breast lift +/- breast implant. ... more
A: Is there a PERMANENT NON-Surgical cure for Sagging Breasts?
Aside from wearing a push-up bra - there is NO other real solution for sagging breasts other than a breast Lift (Mastopexy). DO NOT waste your money on any other "guaranteed remedies" - None of them work! A youthful breast is not only defined by its volume but also by the location of its nipples... more

A: Sagging breasts after pregnancy
After a pregnancy, it is common for the breasts to lose volume, and for the skin to lose elasticity. The most common approach I have found in the so-called "Mommy Makeover" (which addresses both the breasts and abdominoplasty) is to perform a breast lift (mastopexy) combined with an... more
A: Surgery is the only answer for sagging breasts
Unfortunately, there are not any non invasive options for lifting the breasts except for the classic push up bra. An implant may lift your breasts with minimal incisions on the breast .

Just want to add an option of self(auto) fat transfer to the breast via body liposuction. If the breast is not too saggy, breast volume expansion through this technique would avoid surgical scars while lifting the breast and gives the perkiness. It would also give the option of localized treatment if upper or lower half of breast may need more treatment.
