As we age, our bodies change in many ways. Breasts are a common part of the body that reflect the natural aging process, especially following pregnancy, breastfeeding, and weight fluctuations. Menopause and genetics can also contribute to alterations in how a woman’s breasts appear and feel as they get older. Ways breasts often change over time include:
- Loss of firmness and elasticity
- Decrease in volume
- Nipples that point downward
- Changes in shape and skin texture
- Lack of cleavage
- Asymmetry
Fortunately, many breast enhancement procedures can address these natural concerns for an improved look. A breast lift, also known as mastopexy, can restore a more youthful shape to breasts that have sagged or lost firmness due to age. Along with removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue, this procedure is designed to elevate breasts to a higher position. It is a popular method for addressing the loss of breast volume, enhancing symmetry, and creating a firmer, perkier bustline without altering the size of a patient’s breasts.
Additionally, breast augmentation can help restore volume, shape, and firmness to breasts that have changed with age. By using implants or fat transfer, this procedure can enhance breast fullness, counteract sagging, and improve overall symmetry. This approach often results in a more youthful, rejuvenated look, typically boosting a patient’s confidence and providing them with a refreshed silhouette that reflects their desired appearance.
