Unhappy with my droopy and elongated breast. Any suggestions?

Question

I am very unhappy to have a droopy breast where I am 27 years, 105 pounds and 166 cms. I am unmarried and had this problem started when I was about 22 years. My breasts are loose and saggy that has made aerola wider. Also I have a very itchy body due to dry skin. Though i use cotton bra, the centre part sweats (clevage collides and swat stays) and has fungal infection which make me scratch awfully and has so many scars. I desperately need a solution for it without surgery. Kindly help.

A breast lift may be helpful. This surgery reshapes the breasts to make them less elongated and droopy, for a perkier and more buoyant contour. It can also help the irritation you’re experiencing under and between your breasts, since they won’t be pressed down against your body as much.Unfortunately, there are no nonsurgical options that are as effective as a breast lift.

Thanks for your question.  Unfortunately, without pictures, it is hard to give you solid advice.  Based on what you describe, surgery would be needed to address the problems you mention.  I recommend you see a qualified plastic surgeon in order to get the best options for your situation.  Best of luck to you.

Thank you for your question.I am sorry to hear you are having those difficulties with your breasts.  The good news is that there is likely a great solution for you, but it involves surgery.  I recommend visiting with a board certified plastic surgeon in your area to discuss your options.  They will discuss whether you should have a lift or a reduction, and also whether or not an implant should be placed for improved shape (or just manipulation of your own breast tissue to create an "implant effect".  They will discuss your aversion to having a surgical procedure, and can hopefully address your concerns adequately so that you can have the ultimate outcome you want.  Best of luck!

Unfortunately, the only way to address your problem is via surgery. It is not simply because the experts on here are all surgeons that we advise a surgical option, but rather that there exists no good nonsurgical solution. Droopy, sagging breasts are a direct result of too much skin and laxity of soft tissue. There exists no device, cream nor pill which can significantly shrink enough skin to lift a significantly sagging breast. Anyone who tells you otherwise likely trying to sell you. My best advice to use to visit with a board certified plastic surgeon, certified by the American Board of plastic surgery only. He or she can give you and in person exam and placed about which procedure may be right for you. Let that be your point. I have seen far too many patients like you who desperately wanted to avoid surgery get bilked and sold useless pills and superficial treatments. If you are going to spend the money, get a result you are happy with excavation pointI hope this helpsBest of luck!

Cotton bras are good for wicking away sweat.  Talcum powder will also help absorb the moisture, but the reality is that a breast lift is the only thing that can remove some of the extra skin that you likely have.  For completeness sake, go see a plastic surgeon in your area and review your surgical options.  If you don't want surgery, a dermatologist may be able to help with your skin.  Things like frequent showers and overuse of certain moisturizers will actually make dry skin worse so keep that in mind too.  Good luck!

yes  your  problem might be properly  corrected by a new  technique called mastopexy augmentation 5th generation than has  several advantages over another techniques,a.- practically unscarred in order the incition stays over upper areolab.-reduce volume if in excess, remodelate the interior  gland and make it straighter and turgentc.-lift both gland and areola and never fall down againd.-we put an anatomical small implante.-we lessen breast cancer possibility because we eliminate partially both upper and central breasts gland quadranglesf.- it  does not affect senisibility for sexuality

Thank you for the question.  I'm sorry to say but there are no pills or creams or natural ways that are clinically proven to enhance breasts.  Some of these could have negative side effects and complications to your body as well.  The most common way to enhance the breast is by breast augmentation.  You can try to visit a board-certified plastic surgeon for your concern and perhaps a dermatologist for your skin issue.  Best of luck.  Dr. Michael Omidi

The only solution to the shape of the breast is surgical, and consultation with a plastic surgeon will be the way to learn the options.As to the skin issues, seeing your primary doc or a dermatologist for an examination will provide advice.All the best.

Dear chanu0605,

Thank you for your clinical post and
sorry to hear of your aesthetic body contour concerns and symptomatic skin
condition.  The symptomatic skin
condition usually from macerated moist skin in the inframammary fold can be
treated after visiting a dermatologist and getting advice for your dermatitis
symptoms.

Although there are no photographs
posted it is entirely probable that your elongated and droopy breasts would
respond best to breast lift or mastopexy surgery.  You may be a patient who is best served with
a combination of a breast lift and breast augmentation.  Seeking out a certified breast surgeon who
performs these procedures with lots of experience in the field would be my best
advice.

I hope this information is of some assistance
and best of luck.
