Is a Breast Lift Right for You?

Published September 9, 2019 by Katerina Gallus, MD FACS

If you have lost a large amount of weight or you have had a baby, you may find that the shape and position of your breasts have changed. Many women find that after situations such as this, their breasts begin to sag and droop. The same can occur as a result of aging with breasts sagging as you get older. One thing that may be able to help is a breast lift. 

How to Determine if a Breast Lift is Right for You

You may be unsure as to whether or not a breast lift is the right option for you. By considering the following points, you should be able to more easily determine whether this procedure is going to prove beneficial for you:

Do Your Breasts Sag or Droop?

If your breasts sag or droop as a result of pregnancy, weight loss, aging, or for any other reason, you could find that this is the right procedure for you. With a breast lift, you can benefit from uplifted breasts that will make a big difference to overall appearance and the way in which you carry yourself. The procedure will get rid of any drooping or sagging as well as excess skin around the breasts.

Are You Very Self-Conscious About Your Breasts?

Many women are extremely self-conscious about their sagging breasts, and some hate going out because of the embarrassment they feel. If this sounds like you, this solution could be ideal for you. By having a breast lift, you are able to step out with confidence in the knowledge that you look much better, which in turn makes you feel much better overall.

Do Your Breasts Rub Against Your Skin?

When you have drooping breasts, one of the problems you face is that they can rub against the skin of your torso. This constant rubbing can cause discomfort, rashes, and even infections. If this is a problem that affects you, a breast lift could be an excellent option to eliminate the rubbing and reduce the risk of skin issues.

Is Your Posture Poor?

Another issue that can stem from sagging breasts is the effect it can have on your posture. The sagging can cause you to carry yourself in a certain way, and this can affect your posture. Poor posture can cause pain and discomfort in other parts of the body such as the back and neck. By having a breast lift,  women can improve their posture and the way in which they carry themselves.
