Breasts naturally change over the course of a lifetime. A gradual loss of firmness, known medically as breast ptosis, is influenced by factors that are largely outside our control - so it is important to approach the subject kindly and without unrealistic expectations of any product or routine.
When a breast lift may be worth considering
If changes in breast shape are affecting your confidence and non-surgical measures have not achieved what you hoped, a breast lift repositions the breast tissue to a more youthful position. It is a personal choice, and a consultant surgeon will discuss the benefits, the scarring involved, and the risks so you can decide what is right for you.
Common questions
Honest answers about breast changes and options.
Can I prevent my breasts from sagging?
Some changes are a normal, unavoidable part of ageing and life events like pregnancy. Supportive bras, a stable weight and good skin care may help, but they cannot prevent all change.
Do firming creams work?
There is no reliable evidence that creams can lift or firm breast tissue. It is best to be cautious of such claims.
Will a breast lift leave scars?
Yes, a breast lift involves some scarring, which surgeons place as discreetly as possible and which typically fades over time. Your surgeon will explain exactly what to expect.
