Question

Are there non surgical treatment options for sagging breasts?

I have sagging boobs and want to know what treatment is available. I don't want to do cosmetic surgery.

No quick fix

I agree completely with the other surgeons who stated that there is simply no answer to a sagging breast other than surgery. The other important thing to remember is that all of the creams and potions advertised for this are nonsense. I have ladies come in frequently telling me about the list of creams they have spent hundreds of dollars on with no benefit. When you are ready, see a plastic surgeon about a breast lift. Good luck!

Unfortunately not

There is no durable way to lift and reshape ptotic or droopy breasts without some type of surgical intervention.  There are some laser companies that claim that their lasers, when applied onto the breast skin, can "lift" the breast, but when you look carefully at their before and after pictures, there is very little if any improvement, and certainly if you need a significant lift or have thin skin, this will absolutely not work.

If you are truly averse to any type of surgical procedure, the only option that isleft is a good bra with excellent support.

Unfortunately there are no non-surgical treatments for sagging breasts

The only non-surgical way to treat breast sagging is with well-fit undergarments. There just isn't any other way to deal with this other than surgery. Surgery can augment the size with implants and lift the breast with a mastopexy. Remember that implants don't "lift" your breast by themselves and move the nipple higher.
