About Sagging Breasts (Breast Ptosis) & How To Fix Them!

Sagging breasts (breast ptosis) are a natural and common phenomenon women have to undergo. Female breasts are made of ligaments and fats, so fat or collagen loss eventually leads to volume loss. But, there are several lifestyle and behavioural factors that can also make your breasts saggy and droopy prematurely. 

What Causes Saggy Breasts (Breast Ptosis)?

1. Lack of proper support– Lack of proper support may deflate breasts and cause unnecessary wrinkling while the gravity forces a downward pull on the breasts, making them limp. 
2. Poor postures–  Persistently sitting or lying in an improper posture makes breasts bulky and also creates fat rolls.
3. Sunburn– The UV rays from the sun can damage skin and cause collagen and elasticity loss, making breast skin prone to loosening.
4. Smoking- Smoking hampers cells’ natural repairing system and reduces elasticity. Therefore, the skin looks dull and creasy. The same applies to breast skin that can sag easily.
5. Weight Fluctuations– Significant weight loss while having less elastic skin can cause breasts to sag due to volume loss.

But breast sagging caused by natural ageing or breastfeeding may cause significant and irreversible changes to breasts’ proportion and appearance.

Women with saggy breasts (breast ptosis) look older than their peers and feel less confident. In such a case, Dr Adnan Tahir can help you with a surgical solution.

He may also suggest a breast augmentation for older women whose breasts have reduced in size. Typically, a mummy makeover is another recommended procedure for after-pregnancy women. It is a comprehensive procedure to tone women’s bodies and breasts and help attain a pre-pregnancy physique.

Why is breast surgery considered the only permanent fix for saggy breasts (breast ptosis)?

The conventional, non-surgical modes such as healthy diet, exercise and lifestyle customisation cannot undo the breast sagginess. However, surgery helps sculpt the excess fat or skin from the breasts, making them firm, upright and appealing. Excess hanging skin causing sagginess is permanently eliminated with any of the above surgeries. 

Having the surgery (for breast ptosis)- is almost an instant solution,  which will boost your self-image and self-confidence in numerous ways!

Some frequently asked questions about breast ptosis

Why does breastfeeding cause breast ptosis?

During pregnancy, the woman’s breast volume increases due to milk-producing glands and tissue expansion. Whereas after the lactation phase, when the milk ducts shrink and the fat reduces, the volume of the breasts decreases but the expanded skin does not. Therefore, the breasts tend to crease, sag and droop.

Why isn’t exercise and diet fixing my sagging breasts (breast ptosis)?

Exercise strengthens muscles and helps the body bring them into proportion. But breast ptosis cannot be fixed with exercise because breasts are simply fat glands and not muscle. Hence, diet or workouts cannot tone and reverse sagging breasts on their own.
