Sagging breasts are more common than you might think. Many people struggle with them, so you’re certainly not alone. Luckily, with the help of the advanced procedures board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Fischer offers, you can have the perkier and more uplifted breasts you’ve been dreaming of.
Understanding Sagging Breasts/Breast Ptosis
Sagging breasts, also known as breast ptosis, is just what it sounds like. They are breasts that sag, droop, or appear less perky. They are often caused by aging, gravity, genetics, hormonal changes, pregnancy and breastfeeding, weight changes, or loss of skin elasticity. Sun exposure can also cause the breakdown of collagen and elastin in the breast skin, which can lead to sagging.
Who is Affected by Breast Sagging?
Anyone with breasts can struggle with sagging breasts. While sagging breasts are usually a problem as you get older, and for those with larger breasts, they can happen at any age and any size.
Sagging breasts can also be a problem for patients who have had multiple pregnancies, those who have had significant weight loss or weight gain, and people who smoke.
Treatment for Sagging Breasts
At the Advanced Center for Plastic Surgery, Dr. Fischer offers custom treatment options to help you address saggy breasts.
Breast Lift Surgery
The breast lift is the primary surgical procedure used to uplift sagging breasts. During the procedure, Dr. Fischer will use a unique incision based on your needs. From there, she will remove excess skin and lift the breast tissue to a more youthful position. Once all the incisions are closed, you can start your recovery. How long the procedure takes will depend on how much sagging you’re struggling with. It typically takes about 1-2 hours.
