Mastoptosis and its development
Sagging of the breast with the formation of a plane in the upper thoracic region with deformation of the position of the nipple is called mastoptosis. With mastoptosis, visualization of a skin fold also occurs. With mastoptosis, one can distinguish the main stages of its development, which characterize certain conditions of the breast.
- At the beginning, it is expressed in the fact that the level of the skin fold located under the breast and the nipples begin to coincide.
- Then the location of the nipples shifts within three centimeters (below the level of the fold), while simultaneously pointing forward.
- Finally, at the final stage, the nipples, in their previous position, are already directed downwards.

How to maintain a spectacular breast shape
The question in the title is always relevant. Many women are interested in the possibilities of reducing the risk of their breasts losing their previous shape. After childbirth, special care is required, and the optimal time for prevention is during the feeding period. The following methods should be used:
- Regular contrast showers help strengthen tissues and increase their resistance to sagging. For just one minute, you need to alternately direct the shower stream to the right and left breasts, sequentially changing the water temperature (for each breast during the procedure there are 3 waterings of 10 seconds each). To achieve a noticeable effect, it is recommended to simultaneously massage the breasts with soft circular movements.
- The use of expressing using a breast pump, which eliminates stretching of the breast tissue. But stagnation of milk can also adversely affect the condition of the breast. Therefore, before going to bed, you should definitely empty your breasts.
- It is recommended to place the baby on both the left and right breasts, otherwise the problem of asymmetrical filling of the breast with milk arises. This method works to preserve the shape of the mammary glands.
- Personal hygiene.
Separately, let’s talk about the need to use a bra, which also works to preserve the shape of the breast. When choosing it, focus on the following details:
- Bust material. Cotton fabrics are the most preferred, while lace will have to be abandoned for a while.
- Cut. Wide straps; Choose the size of the cups so that they completely cover the chest.
- The presence of removable parts of the bra, which minimize discomfort when feeding the baby. Among the obvious advantages of this type of bras are comfort combined with practicality, because they help maintain the shape of the breast.
- Strict compliance with the bra size in order to eliminate the possibility of squeezing the mammary glands.
The sitting position is the most common position for feeding a baby, but it is worth considering that in this position the baby pulls on the mother's nipple, which in turn leads to stretching of the breast skin. This has a negative impact on the mother's health, and stagnation occurs due to uneven distribution of milk.
Firm breasts
Do not self-medicate, make an appointment with Irina Georgievna Ishchenko at the Euromedprestige clinic
Firm breasts are every girl’s dream, but what prevents her from always remaining like that? First of all, lifestyle and genetic predisposition. Even after breastfeeding several children, a girl’s breasts can return to their original shape, or even decrease altogether, thereby avoiding sagging, if heredity is conducive to this. however, there are a large number of factors that can affect breast firmness.
Development of infections
Inflammatory processes of various types most often cause breast deviation. The mammary gland instantly reacts to the imbalance that has arisen - nodes immediately appear in it, it swells as before menstruation and begins to ache. Most often, infections enter a girl’s body through sexual contact, but they can remain dormant for a long time. In this case, visiting a gynecologist on a regular basis becomes a necessity.
Abortion
The more often a girl has abortions, the greater the load on her body and the greater the number of changes that occur in it. We can say that abortions are disastrous for the female breast - hormonal changes begin immediately after fertilization, it prepares the girl’s body for pregnancy and breastfeeding, so it can be difficult for the mammary glands to quickly return to the “pre-pregnancy” state as a result of an abortion. Abortions often cause the development of tumors in the breast.
Late first pregnancy
This applies to girls who became pregnant for the first time after thirty. Against this background, their susceptibility to developing breast cancer increases. An important role here is played by the lifestyle that the girl leads, as well as the environmental situation within her. All these factors do not go unnoticed for women’s breasts, which find it more difficult to return to their “pre-pregnancy” state after childbirth and breastfeeding.
Long-term use of oral contraceptives
Oral contraceptives prevent the development of sexually transmitted diseases and sexually transmitted infections in the body, which can be transmitted during oral sex. However, you should not take drugs of this type for more than four years, as they can lead to severe changes in the female body, including changes in the shape, size and sensitivity of the female breast. If a girl has not yet given birth and has never become pregnant, she should take care to choose a different contraceptive on an ongoing basis and use oral contraceptives.
A few words about massage for breast lift - combining business with pleasure
The protein collagen is responsible for the strength and elasticity of the tissues of the human body. During the massage, active oxygen saturation occurs at the cellular level, due to which increased collagen synthesis begins. The skin is tightened, its appearance improves - it becomes more elastic and smooth. Moreover, through massage it is possible to achieve even moderate breast enlargement. You can carry out the massage procedure yourself or contact specialists in this field of services. At home, a first-class effect can be achieved by using good olive oil mixed with a small amount of essential oil (from grape seeds). Moreover, thanks to this addition, the skin will acquire a special light aroma.

Additional breast support during breastfeeding - useful tips
During the daytime, it is recommended to wear a soft bra that fits snugly to the chest, but does not squeeze the mammary glands. When choosing underwear for sleep, bras with underwires or other additional inserts are excluded. The bra can be replaced with a comfortable top that also supports the breasts. During the day and at night, it is recommended to use special breast pads that will help keep your underwear clean. Otherwise, you need to change your night bra every day and then wash it.
What breast shape is trending?
Olga Fem: How can a woman decide which breast shape to choose?
Denishchuk P.A.: Firstly, when a woman comes to me for a consultation, we analyze the situation - what the patient has at the moment. Next question: what does she see as her future breasts? What would she like?
If the form is not important for the patient, I will recommend the form that will be optimal in this case. But when women come to the appointment, they usually already know what they want.
And recently this trend has changed. If earlier there was a bias towards a more rounded breast shape, now the trend is towards a more natural breast shape. So that the intervention is not noticeable.
There are extremes here too. Sometimes patients say: “Doctor, I want small breasts so that no one will notice anything.” So why get plastic surgery if it won’t be noticeable in the end? And if the breasts are also drooping, then with a small implant we won’t do anything there at all!
We won't lift this chest. In such cases, you need the appropriate shape and volume of implants to create a normal erect breast shape. And there are many points that we must discuss with the patient.
Olga Fem: That is, the size and shape of the breast is chosen taking into account the wishes of the patient, plus the doctor’s opinion - which is possible in this case and will give a really good result.
Denishchuk P.A.: Of course. This is definitely discussed and if the patient wants, I model the breasts. For example, you will have this shape with round implants.
I have a whole series of implants in my office, and patients choose different implant options - round or anatomical, and I model the breast shape for them - this shape of the implant will create this breast shape for you.
If you take a round-shaped implant, the upper pole will be more raised, and when you put on a bra, you will get lush breasts, like the heroine of the film “Angelica and the King.” Previously, it was fashionable and there were more requests for round implants.
Today, the natural shape of the breast is more in demand, when the upper pole is not so accentuated, but more smoothed out. And this makes it possible to specifically work with the lower pole - it rises and the breast takes on a natural shape. It is less noticeable on the beach, there is no impression that it is something artificially created, and today the natural shape of the breast is still more in demand.
Olga Fem: That is, in a swimsuit it will seem like it’s your own breasts. So beautiful, tall, elastic.
Denishchuk P.A.: Moreover, no scars are visible, even if the woman is without a swimsuit!
It’s another matter if some time has passed after breast surgery, maybe years, the patient has lost weight and the layer of fatty tissue has been lost - then the edges of the implant can be visualized.
Therefore, I tell all patients that they need to maintain a stable weight. This is very important for the lifelong shape of the breast - so that it is beautiful and does not change over time. Therefore, sober-minded patients always control their weight and monitor their health. It is very important.
Recommendations for ending the breastfeeding period
When the lactation period is completed, compression of the ducts of the mammary glands occurs, which means it is possible to think about a breast lift. An important condition for this is the stabilization of one’s own weight, since a lift can only be done when the weight is constant and weight loss is not planned. Otherwise, you must first achieve the desired weight loss result in a time frame that is comfortable for you.
Often during pregnancy, women notice the appearance of stretch marks on their chests, as well as an increase in areolas. In this connection, they are concerned with the question: can a breast lift with a parallel procedure to reduce areolas make stretch marks less noticeable? First of all, you need to know that complete removal of stretch marks is impossible in principle, but some of them are successfully removed surgically, and the laser photothermolysis procedure allows you to qualitatively hide the remaining marks.

Pros and cons of breast lifting with mesothreads
Lifting of sagging breasts with mesothreads is carried out by the best specialists at Expert Clinics in Moscow. The price of the service is several times lower than the cost of surgical lifting using silicone implants. The procedure remains in demand among women because it has important advantages.
- Affordable in terms of price.
- Painless.
- It does not cause complications and does not require a long period of rehabilitation.
- It is carried out in 20-40 minutes under local anesthesia.
- Provides the expected effect.
- Slows down the development of breast ptosis in the future.
The result of the procedure is noticeable on the first day. The threads are not felt under the skin and do not cause discomfort. Already 2 weeks after the procedure, blood supply to tissues improves, hypoxia is eliminated and collagen production is activated. After a few months, the threads completely dissolve, breaking down into carbon dioxide and water. In their place, edema, granulomas and fibrosis do not appear.
However, it is also worth paying attention to the disadvantages of breast lifting with mesothreads without the use of implants.
- The lifting effect lasts from 2 to 5 years.
- Not suitable for pronounced sagging busts.
- Innovative threads have a high price.
- Does not eliminate sagging skin and stretch marks.
In rare cases, patients experience discomfort in the area where mesothreads are inserted. However, Expert Clinic specialists can correct the location of the threads if the pain persists for several weeks. In 95% of patients, mesothreads take root well and provide the expected lifting effect.
Description of breast lift techniques
Mastopexy: Despite popular belief, a breast lift is not necessarily performed in parallel with the installation of silicone implants. Two main techniques are used: 1) periareolar; 2) Lie-lift (aka SPAIR). The first operation involves a residual scar only around the areola, and the second also involves a residual scar on the lower slope of the mammary gland. Alternative techniques may leave an additional scar in the fold under the breast.
To choose the appropriate lifting method, a preliminary assessment of the current condition of the breast is necessary - this can be obtained during a personal consultation with a specialist; There you can also familiarize yourself with the cost of each type of operation.
Possible mastopexy techniques may include:
— the most popular method is a lift with a vertical scar. But a high-quality effect is achieved when combined with other plastic surgery procedures. The effectiveness of the method has been proven in cases of significant postpartum changes, expressed in significant breast sagging. Initially, the surgeon removes a fragment of skin that has undergone maximum stretching; then determines the new contours of the breast, after which the nipple is transferred. When suturing incisions, a cosmetic suture is used. after the operation, a vertical scar remains visible, and the second one (near the nipple) is only slightly noticeable. In parallel with this technique, the breast volume is adjusted upward.
— breast lift using the periareolar method is no less common, but it is prescribed for moderate ptosis. The sequence of the operation is as follows: 1) First, an incision is made along the perimeter of the nipple. 2) The surgeon redistributes part of the breast tissue. 3) The nipple is transferred to a new position. 4) The final stage is working on the areola - its size is adjusted. The advantage of this method is a minimally noticeable scar.
In addition, the lifting procedure with simultaneous breast augmentation is somewhat popular.
For all types of such operations, general anesthesia is used, the final type of which is selected in each case individually. The operation itself lasts no more than two and a half hours, and hospital stay is required only on the first day after it.
Getting your breast shape back: 3 ways
It turns out that traditional methods do not work, you have to rely on your genes. True, there is also modern medicine that works wonders. For those who are seriously concerned about the condition of their bust, cosmetologists and plastic surgeons will help. How?
- Breast implants. Implants vary in shape, texture and outline, as well as in location: axillary (that is, under the pectoral muscle) or subglanular (between the glandular tissue and the pectoralis major muscle). All this variety allows you to choose the most natural and safe option for each woman.
During the operation, a small incision is made, most often around the areola, a “pocket” is created in the tissue and the implant is placed there.
- Breast augmentation using fat tissue is a natural alternative to implants. Fat tissue is taken from the same patient using standard liposuction surgery: from the thighs or abdomen. The fat is then cleaned, prepared for transfer, and carefully transferred into the breast using injections.
- Breast lift and reduction. The operation is indicated for women with large breasts who experience constant discomfort because of this: back pain, for example, or the inability to sleep on their stomach.
To summarize, the cabbage leaf, alas, does not work. But skin care, a healthy lifestyle, and in serious cases, plastic surgery work. It’s very sad to realize that a miracle didn’t happen again, but that’s the way it is.
Massage – daily!
Breast massage will work a real miracle over a few months, although it will take from 5 to 20 minutes maximum. Positive changes will be noticeable even among those who
loose skin on the chest,
and it’s not a bluff!
The massage consists of sequential movements:
- light stroking circular movements from the base to the nipple,
- patting,
- vibrating tapping with the edge of the palm.
They do breast procedures after losing weight using massage oil and, or, a special mitten.
This procedure is complemented by contrast douches, hydromassage with adjustable shower intensity, wraps and scrubs. This entire complex ensures excellent blood circulation, returns youthful beauty to aging skin, lifting and elasticity, and also has a preventive, healing effect.
