I'm obese. Will exercise or losing weight improve them or get worse?
Answer: Grade 3 ptosis Thank you for your question. While working on weight loss your breast will most likely worsen. I would suggest seeing a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in person to evaluate you and discuss your options. I typically would recommend to a patient to be as close to their weight goal as possible. Reason being the more weight you lose the saggier the breast will become and it will allow your surgeon to deliver a better result. Sometimes it will not be possible to add an implant at the same time as a lift depending on how droopy the breast is. It may have to be done in a 2 stage process. Best of luck to you.

Answer: Can I still improve/fix my grade 3 ptosis without surgery? (Photo) Exercise and weight loss is definitely encouraged to help assist in maintaining good health. Unfortunately, ptosis cannot be fixed without surgery. A Mastopexy (breast lift), with or without implants, will correct the ptosis or sagging. Consider scheduling a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon and discuss your options.

Answer: Breasts after Weight Loss Unfortunately, losing more weight will not improve the ptosis of your breasts. You will need a mastopexy (breast lift) to correct the ptosis. You can consider breast implants at the same time as your lift if you are looking for more volume but not necessary if you are happy with your size and just want more lift.

Answer: Ptosis While a healthy diet and exercise is always encouraged it will make no improvement to the degree of breast ptosis. You can consider a full breast lift with or without implants to improve the overall shape. I've included a video that may be helpful.
