As I age, I’ve noticed my breasts have lost shape and volume. What can be done for this?
As we age, factors such as pregnancy, nursing, weight gain and the force of gravity take effect on our body. As skin loses elasticity, the breasts can lose shape and begin to sag. Having a breast lift can reshape sagging breasts by removing excess skin from beneath the breast and raising the areola to a higher position. If your breasts are small or have lost volume, implants can also be inserted in conjunction with a breast lift to increase both firmness and size. Breasts of any size can be lifted, but the results may not be as long-lasting in heavy breasts. If you’re still considering childbearing, you might want to postpone a breast lift to achieve best results.
