Can Exercise Help Address Sagging Breasts?

Exercise can be a powerful tool for people who want to enhance their figure, but there is a limit to what it can do. While making healthy lifestyle choices like eating right and exercising regularly can help by reducing excess fat in certain areas of the body, some aesthetic concerns including loose, stretched skin cannot be addressed this way. As women age the connective tissue in their breasts can often become stretched as a result of simple gravity, weight fluctuation, pregnancy, or natural aging. This can lead to breasts that appear deflated, mispositioned, and lacking in perkiness.

Over the years, I have spoken with many women who wanted to know if exercise could help treat breast sagging. Unfortunately, the answer is no. While performing certain chest exercises may be able to strengthen the muscles around the breast contour, sagging is caused by issues relating to the breast skin and tissue that exercise cannot help. However, the good news is that there is a proven surgical solution to breast sagging. Breast lift surgery is an incredibly effective method for relieving moderate-to-more severe breast sagging. The results are incredible and patient satisfaction is extremely highly following a breast lift.

In the video below, I discuss breast sagging and why breast lift surgery is the only way to truly address this aesthetic concern for women:
