Is There a Cheaper Alternative to Breast Lift?

Question

I am 21and just had a baby, my breasts used to be perfect, now after a few weeks breast feeding and stopped, they have sagged extremely and really really jellyfied.I can't even wear a bra because they keep popping out. If I could afford plastic surgery, I would, but I can't. Please help.

Unfortunately you need a breast lift to get a breast lift. The nipple/areola physically needs to be moved in a higher position to look more uplifted in all cases with significant sagging

Your best option for a non-surgical breast lift is to consider a properly fitted bra. Get measured at a professional salon. DO NOT waste your money on Botox non-surgical breast lifts, etc.

I have not seen any safe and effective alternatives to a surgical breast lift. My advice would be to do nothing now. Your breast may change for up to a year after delivery. At that time you can re-evaluate.

Thank you for the question.

	Unfortunately, there are no effective alternatives to breast lifting.  I would suggest that you wait until you have completed pregnancies,  save your money,  and do the appropriate and effective procedure when the time is right.

	Best wishes.

The only non-surgical alternative to a mastopexy would be seeing a good corsetiere and having a bra properly fitted to your body contours.  Non-interventional methods for lifting the breasts do not work.  Save your money and have a lift when you can afford it.
