Sagging breasts (also known as breast ptosis) make women lose confidence. Sagging also has different degrees and requires different treatments. This article will help you determine if your breasts are sagging, the extent of sagging, and the available methods for addressing it.

What are sagging breasts?

Sagging breasts refer to the condition where breast tissue is not in the proper position. The breasts are loose, droopy, lack elasticity and firmness.

Causes of sagging breasts

Sagging breasts due to glands: This is the consequence of the shrinking process of the breast glands and more or less also has changes in the breast skin. Because the volume of the breast is reduced significantly, the breast tissue mass is compressed against the chest wall and lowered moderately downwards.

Sagging breasts due to skin: Due to the loss of skin elasticity as well as the support system (Cooper’s ligaments), the breast skin sags downwards, dragging the nipple position along.

Typically, breasts tend to sag over time, in addition there are factors that accelerate this process, including:

• Pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding
• Sudden, abnormal weight changes
• Improper use of bras
• Bad lifestyle habits: incorrect sitting, lying, exercising postures…

Degrees of sagging

When the breasts are in balanced state, the nipples are positioned above the inframammary fold (also called the breast crease). The position of the nipples relative to the inframammary fold can determine the degree of sagging.

Sagging can be classified into four degrees:

• Degree 1: The nipples are at the same level as the inframammary fold, the highest point of the areola is above the fold.
• Degree 2: The nipples are below the inframammary fold, but the highest point of the areola is still above the fold.
• Degree 3: The nipples point downwards, and the highest point of the areola is below the inframammary fold.

In addition to the three degrees mentioned above, “pseudo-ptosis” (false sagging) and “pre-ptosis” are also conditions that can negatively impact the appearance of the breasts. Pseudo-ptosis is characterized by the nipple and areola remaining at a normal degree, while the lower portion of the breast sags and lacks firmness.

Methods for addressing sagging breasts

Although sagging breasts do not affect a woman’s health, they can lead to a loss of confidence. Correcting sagging breasts helps restore the bust to its original state, making it firm and attractive, and ultimately boosting a woman’s self-esteem.

To address sagging breasts, doctors perform procedures to remove excess skin and “lift” the breasts back to their original position.

Typically, doctors will recommend a specific procedure based on the condition of your breasts. For cases involving both sagging and glandular atrophy, a combination of breast lift and implant placement may be recommended for optimal results.

Although breast augmentation is an increasingly familiar aesthetic surgery procedure among women, many still do not fully understand it. Let’s take a tour to find out the explanations related to breast augmentation in this article.

DOES BREAST AUGMENTATION AFFECT BREASTFEEDING?

• The breast augmentation technique has been increasingly perfected. Currently, when performing breast augmentation surgery, the doctor places the implant under the glandular tissue, so it does not affect the milk ducts. Pregnancy and breastfeeding can proceed normally after the breast augmentation.

DOES AUGMENTATION HURT?

• This is a common question that is most concerned about by many women who want to have beautiful breasts but hesitate due to the fear of pain during surgery. In fact, there is no definitive answer for all, as whether it hurts or not depends on various factors such as the technique used, the surgeon’s skill, one’s host factor and tolerance of pain.
• There is actual feedback from customers who have taken breast augmentation surgery at Worldwide Hospital. Although some reported feeling slight tightness and soreness in the chest area after the surgery, which disappeared a few days later, many customers stated that they did not feel any pain at all and did not even need to use painkillers.

HOW LONG DOES BREAST AUGMENTATION TAKE TO RECOVER?

• The recovery time of breast augmentation surgery depends on each person’s host factor and postoperative care. After the surgery, patients are still possible to move gently, after 1 month the breasts are stable and the body recovers.
• Patients can take a bath after 2 days surgery but no rub and no spray water directly on the incision.
• Wearing a bra corset to shape the chest so that the chest can be stable as well as best protected. Depending on each person’s condition, the doctor will prescribe the duration of wearing bra corset, usually this time is 2 months.

WHAT SIZE OF BREAST IS GOOD LOOKING?

There is no standard size for everyone, a breast size that is suitable for the physique, harmoniously proportional to height and weight is a beautiful one. The doctor will rely on these ratios and the level of glandular tissue available to give an advice on the most appropriate breast shape. Thinking “do it once” or “the bigger the breasts, the more beautiful” is a completely wrong thought, an over-size augmented breast not only affects aesthetics but also affects health because breasts must have enough skin to cover the implant material (breast implants) and bring natural results.

Considered as one of the most revolutionary treatment methods to remove excess body fat, J-Plasma Liposuction helps reaffirm flaccid skin areas. The procedure is minimally invasive, leaving the treated areas fully rejuvenated. Quick implementation and safe recovery is also a plus.

Everyone shares the desire for a perfect body fitness, especially women with round body type & chubby look.

Considered as one of the most revolutionary treatment methods to remove excess body fat, J-Plasma Liposuction helps reaffirm flaccid skin areas. The procedure is minimally invasive, leaving the treated areas fully rejuvenated. Quick implementation and safe recovery is also a plus.

How J-Plasma liposuction works?

J-Plasma liposuction is an endoscopic method of removing excess, and as a result, tightens the skin. The procedure involves inserting a small tube under the skin, which delivers cool helium plasma, also known as cool inert gas, along with radio frequency (RF) energy. This creates a plasma flow at the targeted area, applying heat to effectively contract and tighten sagging skin and tissue fibers.

For other conventional liposuction methods, after excess fat is removed from the body, the skin is left wrinkled, aged and sagging. To improve this condition, the doctor must conduct an excess skin removal procedure. However, with the J-Plasma liposuction method, the skin area left on the surface after fat burn is significantly firmer and tighter.

How long the result of J-Plasma liposuction can last ?

Endoscopic liposuction removes up to 98% of excess fat in certain areas of the body and prevents the accumulation of excess fat. The result can last for several years of time.

However, the duration of the procedure depends a lot on each patient’s lifestyle. Maintaining a healthy diet and moderate exercise habits is the key to prevent body fat from quickly re-accumulating.
