Q: How to lift sagging breasts?

A: Many women are unsure as to what to do about sagging breasts and they invariably turn to so-called “miracle” creams and remedies for sagging breasts. However, these creams can do little to help, as the problem is not just skin deep. While there are ways to tackle the problem of sagging breasts, the only way to get an actual “lift” is to opt for surgery.

Q: What is the best surgery for sagging breasts?

A: There is no single surgery that is considered the “best” as surgical requirements vary from one woman to the next. Mastopexy is the term for the plastic surgery procedure to modify the size and elevate the breasts. These surgeries can be classified into four categories based on the type of incision that the surgeon employs. The Crescent Lift and the Circumareolar Lift are not very invasive and are generally used in mild and moderate cases. The Lollipop Lift is often recommended for women with low hanging breasts while the Anchor Lift is the most invasive of all the breast lift procedures. Women with sagging breasts need to discuss all their options with their doctor or a plastic surgeon before making a decision.
