Is there a non surgical breast lift for A cup, flattened out breasts?

Question

I am a 34A. Age, breastfeeding, and regular ole life seems to have flattened them out. I'm perfectly happy with their size, but what are my options when it comes to just picking them up a little? Is there anything non surgical that would help?

Stanley Okoro, MD · Answer

Thanks for your question. It is difficult to recommend a treatment options without photos or examining you. I recommend you consult with a board certified plastic surgeon for your breast planning. However, if you wanted to add a bit more volume to help with "flatness" you have a few options:
1. Renuva injections, which is completely non-surgical
2. Fat grafting, which is a minimally invasive procedure
3. Breast implant

Good luck!

Yes! Fat transfer to the breast in combination with Attiva radiofrequency is an excellent combination to restore the contour and lift! 
With the fat transfer to the breast, we are able to individualize the volume enhancement, simply restoring lost volume or augmenting volume to increase 1-2 cups. Fat transfer allows natural-looking results and a more subtle and gradual enhancement of the breasts.
The combination of fat transfer to the breast with Attiva further improves breast sagging and positioning. Attiva uses subdermal radiofrequency to contract the skin. I have found this creates a beautiful breast lift, and this combination of Attiva has become a powerful mainstay in my practice.

Of course, adding fat, via fat transfer or implants can give a lift, but will also make your breast bigger.  Renuvion is an effective option to tighten the skin of the breast envelope and give a nice small lift.  Renuvion and Bodytite are two technologies that use RF energy to tighten skin.  We have had great success with giving " non surgical "  breast lift with both of these technologies.

At my office we combine Morpheus 8 with PRP breast augmentation. Depending on the patients condition, this will rejuvenate the skin, reduce stretch marks and provide some lifting. I usually recommend 2-3 treatments over 3 months for best results. I how this helps. Have a great day.

No, there is not a non-surgical breast lift. The technique I recommend is a mini lift. Using a circumareola incision, your breast tissue is reshaped, elevated higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage.

Non surgical breast lift is simply not a reality. I'm sure there are those who will try non surgical skin tightening to try to lift your breasts but you will be wasting money.

Dear Intuitive11399,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

This is not widely accepted nor US FDA or Health Canada approved.
Since this is not common, we advised our patients that it can be considered experimental as no long or short term safety data is available.
Also consider that future breast imaging will look like multiple cysts in the breast on ultrasound and MRIs it does not alter mammogram images looking for calcification.
With no family history or genetic risks, our patients are first screened for breast disease. Obviously no future plans for breast feeding is a must. Pregnancy and currently breast feeding are both contraindications.
Many patients can achieve a very natural look and feel with the proper placement of hyaluronic acid fillers to replace loss of fat by the experienced injector. Intraductal injection should be avoided. Sometimes nipple rejuvenation is required to match.
The cost can be an issue (typically more than breast surgery) as the results are not permanent and the duration of results are very much patient dependant definitely much more expensive than surgical solutions. However, it does offer an option for those that do not wish to undergo surgery or wants to see and feel the potential changes before surgery.
So far all of our patients are very happy with the results and returning for regular touch ups. 
Again, we can't stress enough there is no long-term study with a large number of patients. Our experience is with those that are brave (and financially very strong) and that the treatment should be safe in theory as HA products have been in use for at least 24 years in Canada.
You will need to seek out experienced expert physicians. Good luck.

Photos with wish pics would help us answer your questions more accurately.

Tightening the breast skin or lifting the height of your nipple areola complex may only be done by either adding volume (a breast augmentation or fat transfer to the breasts), or removing skin (a breast lift or mastopexy).  No other non surgical breast lifting or tightening exist.
best wishes.
