Are there any exercises I can do to lift my breasts?

Thank you for your question.  I see a similar question frequently when it comes from the abdomen.  Most of my patients want to know what they can do to tighten loose breasts and abdominal skin after childbearing.  The the short and unfortunate answer is not much.

After childbearing the skin of the breast as well as the abdomen lose their elasticity.  Diet and exercise unfortunately cannot regain that lost skin tension.

The paradox of exercising, which I strongly encourage is that it will lead to less body fat which will ultimately further loosen the skin of the breast as well as the abdomen.  So paradoxically, patients who do everything right often wind up getting even looser.

If you work on your pecks enough you will diminish your body fat and get looser.

You may wish to see a board certified plastic surgeon who can at least give you options.

 

Hope this helps.

I wish that I had better news for you but unfortunately exercises will not do much to help lift the breasts.  The reason why is that breast ptosis, or breast droop, is the result of loose skin, poor skin elasticity and a loss of breast volume.  While diet and exercise are fantastic for ones general health and well being, these activities in the absence of a surgical intervention cannot do much to correct skin elasticity and the sagging of ones breasts.  I would recommend seeking out a board-certified plastic surgeon who specializes in breast lift procedures.  This way your anatomy can be examined, your concerns can be addressed and you can at least be provided with what options are available to you to give you the results you hope to achieve.  All the best.

Getting in excellent shape helps the muscle tone and improves the appearance of the torso.  Don't sell fitness short! Unfortunately, exercises don't lift the breast much at all.  

Thank you for your question. Unfortunately you cannot to exercises to lift your breasts. Based on your statement provided, you are an ideal candidate for breast lift. I would advise you to schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon for a detailed examination to discuss all possible treatment options and what your expectations are. 

Thank you for you question. This is a common query amongst patients in several areas of the body. Unfortunately, ptosis, or sag, of the breasts typically involves excess skin and deformation of the microscopic ligaments that maintain breast shape and structure. While strengthening the pectoralis major chest muscles will enlarge them, exercise typically has little effect on excess skin. Enough exercise will also decrease your overall body fat, which may decrease the size of the breasts. This could either improve or worsen the appearance of ptosis in the breasts depending on how the weight loss is distributed. Every individual is different. To truly address breast sag, surgical intervention in the form of a mastopexy, or breast lift surgery, would be required.

In sort there are no exercises to lift a breast or tighten skin. Gaining more muscle mass may help the overall appearance of the chest or arms, but it will not lift your breasts.

It would be great if there
were some kind of exercise, magic wand or cream that could perk up the breasts.
From the surgical standpoint, the best option for lifting the breasts is
either a breast augmentation and/or a breast lift. Sometime a combination of
the two procedures will provide the best results possible. Sincerely,Joshua Kreithen, M.D.

There are no exercises that can significantly lift sagging breasts. Developing your chest muscles (pecs) can maybe help a tiny bit, but that improvement won't be as noticeable as you'd like. Also, exercise will shed fat, and that will just  increase your sagging.

Routine exercise to strengthen and enlarge the pectorals muscles may slightly increase the fullness of your chest, but it is unlikely to significantly correct breast sagging.  A good percentage of my breast lift and augmentation patients are very muscular and fit, including professional body builders.  However, even these dedicated patients have decided that they need a surgical procedure such as a breast lift and/or augmentation to improve their appearance.

Exercise and a healthy diet can do wonders for toning muscles and improving overall health but cannot affect breast skin. Building muscle bulk can help to tighten skin in other areas of the body, but, currently only plastic surgery is capable of reducing breast skin laxity.

Unfortunately exercise will not lift the breast.  Sagging is from excess skin.  Breast lift can give you a beautiful outcome. Sometimes implants alone are enough. Either way there is no nonsurgical method for breast lift.
