Breast lift without implants. Procedures and methods for elasticizing breasts in cosmetology

During pregnancy and lactation, a woman's breast undergoes severe stress - the mammary glands become larger, colostrum accumulates in them, and then milk. The breast changes shape, sags, loses its elasticity and attractiveness.

To improve the aesthetic appearance, cosmetology offers several methods of breast lifting without the use of implants. The effectiveness, essence and prices of such procedures differ.

Indications for breast lift without implants

Ptosis (or sagging breasts) is caused by:

1. Age-related changes - with natural aging of the body, the skin becomes flabby and cannot withstand the weight of the breast.
2. Abrupt changes in a woman's weight. With sudden weight loss, the skin stretches and the breasts sag.
3. Prolonged period of breastfeeding. During breastfeeding, the skin in this area can take a lot of stress due to the rush of milk.
4. One of the breasts is underdeveloped, so its size is different.
5. Breast damage from birth.
6. An operation was performed in this area.
7. Hormonal imbalance.
8. Genetic predisposition.
