Introduction
In general, mild to moderate breast ptosis can usually be effectively treated; however, if the ptosis is severe, or if the individual has contraindications such as hypertension or heart disease, various treatments may be less effective. If necessary, it is recommended to visit a正规 hospital and undergo professional treatment under the guidance of a qualified physician.

Generally speaking, mild to moderate breast ptosis (sagging) can usually be effectively treated; however, severe ptosis or the presence of contraindications in the individual may make treatment more challenging. If necessary, it is recommended to visit a reputable hospital and receive treatment under the guidance of a qualified physician. Detailed explanations are as follows:

Mild to moderate breast ptosis caused by factors such as aging, post-lactation breast atrophy, or weight loss can usually be improved through non-surgical methods, such as adjusting bra wear, performing chest-strengthening exercises, and improving dietary habits. If these methods are ineffective, breast augmentation with implants may be considered, which involves implanting prosthetics to increase breast volume. The general reference cost for breast augmentation with implants is 12,000 to 200,000 yuan per procedure, and visible improvement can typically be observed within 15 to 40 days.

However, for severe breast ptosis or in cases where the individual has contraindications such as hypertension or heart disease, various treatments may be less effective and may not fully restore a youthful breast appearance.

If there are no contraindications, patients may also consider hyaluronic acid injections for breast augmentation, which involves injecting hyaluronic acid into the breast area to achieve a breast-enhancing effect. The general reference cost for hyaluronic acid breast augmentation is 3,000 to 30,000 yuan per session, with visible improvement typically noticeable within 7 to 15 days. However, the results are temporary, and there is a risk of infection and potential asymmetry.
