Young Perky Breasts. How To Maintain Without Excising Skin? (photo)

They are now at a pretty normal level of perkiness for my age. Is there technology of any kind that could keep them this perky? Plastic surgeons seem to endorse a range of new technology which tightens skin, produces new collagen and removes cellulite etc but won't endorse these products for breasts. Why is this?

I am very skeptical of most of the new technology that is supposed to significantly tighten the skin. I think your best hope of maintaining a youthful appearance is to wear a supportive bra and to avoid significant... more
