Droopy breasts, also known as breast ptosis, is a common concern among women, especially their bodies undergo age-related and pregnancy-related changes.
Droopy Breasts
What is the cause of droopy breasts?
For all women, the breast appearance will slowly change over time due to the natural loss of collagen and skin elasticity. Combined with the effects of gravity, most breasts will begin drooping with age. As an award-winning and board certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Lee has an accomplished background in aesthetic breast procedures and can create a strategic plan for recontouring and elevating the appearance of your breasts.
What are some of the best solutions when dealing with droopy breasts?
Breast lift
A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure to tighten, raise and recontour the breasts while removing excess skin. The nipples may also be repositioned during a breast lift to help achieve a ‘perky’ appearance. While a breast lift can elevate the breasts, it will not add volume or size to the breasts. Uplifted AND fuller breasts can be accomplished through a combination treatment such as a breast lift with fat grafting, or a breast lift with implants.
Breast lift with fat grafting
This procedure is an excellent way to add volume to the breasts without using implants. Results from a breast lift with fat grafting are more subtle and natural-looking. If you are seeking a dramatic increase in your cup size, a breast lift with implants may be more suited to your goals.
Breast lift with implants
A breast lift with implants is a great way to address drooping breasts while simultaneously addressing a loss of breast volume. This combination procedure can achieve two aesthetic goals at once: larger AND perkier breasts; allowing for a new, improved silhouette and more importantly, a boost in self-confidence!
