Many women experience sagging breasts due to numerous factors, such as the natural aging process, pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight fluctuations, and more. This common condition, known as breast ptosis, can impact both mental and physical well-being, often leading to dissatisfaction with one’s appearance and even discomfort or pain during daily activities. While a breast lift is often the first procedure people consider when addressing sagging breasts, at Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, board-certified plastic surgeon Gene Sloan, MD, offers a range of enhancement surgeries designed to restore a more youthful and lifted breast appearance.
Procedures Dr. Sloan regularly performs that can correct droopy breasts include:
- Breast lift – A breast lift is a surgical procedure specifically designed to raise and reshape sagging breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue to achieve a younger-looking and more elevated breast contour. This surgery can also reposition the nipple and areola to a more natural position.
- Breast lift with implants – By combining two effective procedures, a breast lift with implants can raise low hanging breasts while also enhancing volume and fullness. This option not only helps improve the position and shape of the breasts but also increases breast size for a more balanced appearance.
- Breast reduction – A breast reduction involves the removal of excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to achieve a more proportional breast size and to alleviate discomfort associated with overly large breasts. Breast reduction surgery can address droopy breasts by making the breasts smaller and allowing them to sit higher on the chest.
