What are the causes of breast sagging?

Before discussing breast sagging treatment, let’s first understand the causes of breast sagging. Some causes occur naturally without the woman’s intervention, while others are a collection of unhealthy habits that harm and impact the breast area. These causes are:

As a woman ages, the elasticity and firmness of her skin decrease, and the skin gradually begins to sag, resulting in sagging breasts. Pregnancy and breastfeeding play a major role in breast sagging, especially if repeated multiple times.
Eating unhealthy foods containing extra fats and sugars, can lead to sudden weight gain.
Rabid and/ or massive weight loss and not following a healthy, non-strict diet.
Wearing an inappropriate bra size, whether too small or too large.
Excessive smoking.

What are the methods for Breast sagging treatment?

With the continuous development in the field of cosmetic medicine, the problem of sagging breasts can be eliminated with simple steps and in a very short period of time. There are two methods for breast sagging treatment: the first is through surgery, which is used for cases suffering from severe or moderate breast sagging.

Another method for breast sagging treatment is by injecting autologous fat. This is used for cases suffering from mild breast sagging, provided that the skin in the breast area must be elastic to be eligible for this technique. Breasts can also be tightened by implanting artificial fillers such as silicone and saline implants.

Breast sagging treatment through surgery and implants

With this method, the doctor makes a small surgical incision in the crease under the breast, or a circular incision is made in the dark area surrounding the nipple. This procedure is performed under general anesthesia. Through these incisions, the doctor begins to repair and restore the breast tissue, excess fat that causes breast sagging is removed, and if necessary, a silicone implant is inserted to restore the breast to its normal size.

Finally, the skin is tightened and the excess is removed, with the nipple being returned to its right position, which is the middle of the breast, instead of drooping downwards. Surgery is used for cases that suffer from severe, late-stage sagging, or even moderate cases.

Breast sagging treatment with autologous fat injections

Autologous fat injections are a revolutionary technique in the cosmetic surgery field. Excess fat is extracted from certain areas of the body and injected into other areas where it is needed. In the case of sagging breasts, fat is suctioned from the thighs and buttocks using the Vaser technique.

The fat is then purified and processed to make it eligible for re-injection into the body. Utilizing specialized needles and under local anesthesia, the breasts are injected with fat to compensate for the lack of fat in the breast area.

The process of filling the breasts with fat leads to tightening the skin, eliminating sagging, and returning the breasts to their natural feminine shape. However, it should be noted that the technique of treating breast sagging through autologous fat injections is only used for cases suffering from mild sagging in the breast area.

Laser treatment for breast sagging

Laser treatment for sagging breasts is a very effective and safe method, as no surgical incisions are made. This technique relies on exposing the skin in the breast area to laser beams, which heat the skin layers, thereby increasing collagen production. The more collagen in the skin, the more cohesive and energetic it becomes, and the less likely it is to sag or wrinkle. However, the drawback of this technique is that it requires multiple sessions to notice a difference and achieve the final result. In addition, it cannot be used for cases suffering from severe sagging.

Are there any complications from breast lifts?

Breast sagging treatment, whether through surgery or other techniques, can cause mild, natural complications, such as mild pain and a change in skin color, such as red or dark blue. Patients may also experience numbness and temporary loss of sensation in the area.

Unusual risks and complications sometimes occur due to a poor choice of plastic surgeon, and not researching and examining his academic and professional history, as many doctors unfortunately choose the wrong techniques for Breast sagging treatment, which leads to undesired results, or deformity of the breast area.

It can also happen in cases of surgical breast lift that the doctor makes large surgical incisions in visible areas, and these incisions leave clear scars that lead to the distortion of the general appearance of the area.

Can sagging breasts be treated naturally without surgery?

Some people wonder about the possibility of breast sagging treatment without cosmetic procedures. To clarify this, we must discover that the breast is composed of mammary gland tissue, fat cells, and the outer skin layer. When this fat disappears and the skin deteriorates due to the many factors mentioned above, the breast begins to sag. Therefore, there is no way to tighten the breast except by replacing the lost fat and returning the breast to the correct area and shape through surgery. As for exercising, it helps prevent breast sagging, but it will not help in lifting and tightening the sagging breasts. Also, applying some recipes and mixtures to the chest area to tighten the skin is of no benefit. Therefore, the only effective way to tighten the breasts and eliminate sagging is by consulting a doctor.

How much does breast sagging surgery cost?

After consulting a doctor and examining the patient’s condition, the exact cost is determined, and the technique used for breast sagging treatment is chosen. Whether surgery and implants of artificial fillers or injections of autologous fat, each technique has a different cost than the other, and the cost of breast lift operations also varies from one country to another. The cost of this operation is high in some countries such as the Arab Gulf states, and it is lower in other countries such as Egypt and Lebanon. Its cost in Egypt starts from 50 thousand, and the cost increases with the increase of other cosmetic procedures accompanying the operation.
