What Can Be Done When
Breasts Begin To Sag?

When breasts of a normal size begin to hang or sag, Philadelphia breast surgeon Dr. David Bottger can sometimes use breast implants alone to improve their shape and projection. If the skin of the breasts has been irreparably stretched, a breast lift, or mastopexy, may also be necessary to trim away the excess skin and tighten the remaining skin for a more optimal shape.

Women who have lost breast volume and skin elasticity after pregnancy may want to consider a mommy makeover, which will combine both of these procedures for an enhanced result. The breast augmentation will help restore lost volume, while the breast lift will lift the breast tissue upwards to treat issues caused by sagging. The goal of this dual procedure is to reposition the breast where it used to be, giving it more of a perky appearance. Often, mommy makeovers will include a tummy tuck for a full body enhancement.
