How to recover from breast sagging

Breast ptosis may be related to aging, breastfeeding, weight loss, hormonal imbalances, mastitis, and other factors. It can be improved through interventions such as breast augmentation injections, general treatments, autologous fat transfer breast augmentation, and medication. If necessary, it is recommended to visit a reputable hospital and proceed under the guidance of a qualified physician. Detailed explanations are as follows:

1. Aging

With aging, breast tissue, skin, and ligaments gradually lose elasticity, leading to breast ptosis. Hyaluronic acid fillers can be considered, whereby hyaluronic acid is directly injected into the chest area to enhance fullness. The general reference price for breast augmentation injections ranges from 3,000 to 30,000 yuan per session, and visible improvement can typically be observed within 7–15 days.

2. Breastfeeding

During lactation, the breasts enlarge due to milk accumulation. After lactation ends, the breast tissue loses support and may sag. It is recommended to wear properly supportive bras during breastfeeding, and after lactation, perform breast massage and chest muscle exercises.

3. Weight Loss

Rapid weight loss within a short period can lead to significant fat depletion, thinning of the fat layer, and subsequent breast ptosis, often accompanied by skin laxity and increased wrinkles. Autologous fat transfer breast augmentation can be considered, involving the extraction of excess fat from the patient's own body, medical processing, and uniform injection into various layers of the breast. The general reference price for autologous fat transfer breast augmentation ranges from 5,000 to 20,000 yuan per session, with visible improvement typically noticeable within 7–15 days.

4. Hormonal Imbalance

Pregnancy, unhealthy lifestyle habits, and other factors may lead to decreased levels of estrogen and progesterone, resulting in reduced sebum secretion and collagen loss, which can cause breast tissue atrophy and ptosis. Symptoms such as menstrual irregularities, dry skin, and mood swings may also appear. Treatment may involve the use of medications such as estradiol valerate tablets, combined ethinylestradiol tablets, and diethylstilbestrol tablets, as directed by a physician.

5. Mastitis

Mastitis is an inflammatory condition of the breast tissue caused by infection. It may lead to breast tissue damage and ptosis, often accompanied by symptoms such as breast pain, lumps, redness, and swelling. Treatment may involve the use of medications such as minocycline hydrochloride capsules, bromocriptine mesylate tablets, and cefdinir dispersible tablets, as directed by a physician.

In addition, patients who meet surgical criteria can also consider silicone breast augmentation, a procedure involving the surgical implantation of silicone prostheses into the breasts to achieve breast enhancement. The general reference price for silicone breast augmentation ranges from 30,000 to 50,000 yuan per session, with visible improvement typically noticeable within 10–30 days. However, all surgeries carry risks, and silicone breast augmentation may result in complications such as infection and capsular contracture.
