I am 40 and have small boobs (A cup). I am thinking of having augmentation to a C cup. I currently don’t have any sagging so I am curious - if I have bigger boobs would that lead to sagging in the future? I understand that the implant won’t sag but will the extra volume make the skin sag in the future?
Answer: Difficult to predict The larger the implant, the heavier they are. As a result, they will weigh down the breasts, increasing the risk of sagging. However, it would be difficult to predict how fast the breasts would sag and to what extent.

Answer: No; Only significant body weight change and/or stretching of skin from the milk of pregnancy can possibly cause skin sag. I recommend an in person consultation with a plastic surgeon to discuss your goals and be measured. After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements with different size and style breast implants, and they choose what looks right for them. They also get to see what they would look like when the breasts have fully dropped and fluffed and in clothes. You get to see actual results and the surgeon's experience and not a virtual idea of what can be achieved. Women tell me that this process is very helpful in determining what size and style breast implant is right for them. Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author.

Answer: Breast aging and implants It depends on implant and patient-related factors as well as surgeon skill. Implant size, type (textured vs. smooth) and position (sub glandular vs. sub muscular) effect the stability of breast shape. Patient skin and soft tissue integrity are critically important. High integrity, elastic skin and soft tissues can support implants well over decades. Surgeon skill and technique are also critical.

Answer: Future sagging There are many factors that contribute to breast ptosis (sagging). Some are age, genetics, pregnancy/breastfeeding, weight gain, and large breasts. While adding implants could possibly contribute to future sagging due to the stretched skin and weight of the implant, there is no way to say for sure if it will or to what degree.
