Breast Lift: How To Postpone Or Avoid Surgery

Changes in appearance caused by childbirth, weight loss or aging can cause changes to the volume and shape of a woman's breasts. A woman may be comfortable with the size and shape of her breasts when they are in a restricting bra, but sag low when not supported. For this reason, the breast lift is one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries performed. A breast lift works by removing excess skin and tissue then raising, tightening and reshaping the breasts.

While doctors generally agree that nothing provides the noticeable, custom, long-lasting effects of a surgical breast lift, there are several methods of improving the look of the breasts. For young women who want to postpone needing a breast lift as long as possible or for those women who are considering one but are not quite ready to go under the knife, there are a few non-invasive ways for keeping your breasts looking their best. Here is an overview.

Utilize support

Simply wearing a bra can help ensure that gravity is not working against you, providing support that will keep the bust line from sagging. Wearing a push-up bra is one method that will provide the extra lift you need under your clothes.

Gentle massage, either self performed or done professionally is also thought to eliminate waste and increase blood flow, therefore toning enhancing the shape of the breasts.

Firm and tighten the skin

A woman can perform weight-bearing pectoral exercises like push-ups or chest presses to strengthen the muscles and keep the chest firm. Treatments such as heat treatments as well as laser treatments can also tighten the skin and provide a natural enhancement.

These are usually performed by plastic surgeons. Be sure to look at a doctor's before and after photos when considering this treatment, to ensure that the potential results align with your goals. There is also a wide range of over the counter creams that claim to firm and tone. Plenty of research is advised before utilizing one of these products to ensure that it has received positive consumer reviews.

Injections

Usually known as a facial treatment and wrinkle reducer, Botox has increasingly gaining popularity as a way to provide a nonsurgical breast lift. It works when a doctor injects the neurotoxin into a woman's minor chest muscles, forcing the back muscles to compensate by lifting the breast. The downside is that the effects of Botox only last a few months.
