Hormonal and age-related changes, lactation and other factors provoke ptosis (descent) of the mammary glands. There are many ways to return them to their former position and give the tissues elasticity, but not all popular techniques are effective. Some techniques work exclusively in the early stages of the problem or are designed to prevent it.
How to tighten the chest at home?
Before considering the question posed, it is important to understand that with serious ptosis and prolonged sagging of the mammary glands, only the plastic surgery will help to correct their positioning and shape. Gymnastics, massage and other ways how to tighten the chest in this case can slightly improve its appearance and skin condition, prevent further omission. Home procedures will not return the bust the same outlines and firmness.
Exercises for a breast lift
One of the reasons for the early ptosis of the mammary glands is incorrect posture. Because of the pathological position of the spine and shoulder line, the chest is more strongly affected by gravitational forces and faster sagging, so women need to constantly monitor the directness of their back. Additionally, it is recommended to do gymnastics daily for posture.
To prevent the progression of the lowering of tissues and slightly lift them help classes designed to strengthen the pectoral muscles. Beginners should begin to work with their own weight, and experienced athletes need to complicate training, using dumbbells or weighting. Exercises to tighten the chest:
- push-ups from the floor , benches and walls;
- mixing and breeding of hands;
- boxing;
- pull-ups ;
- classical bar;
- deflections back;
- twisting ;
- lifting hands up, pulling forward.
Breast lift with the help of the proposed exercise is suitable for women with a small ptosis, when the nipple is still pointing forward and not sagging below the folds under the mammary gland. This gymnastics is a good prevention of tissue lowering, especially on the eve of pregnancy. It will be more effective in combination with manual therapy and cosmetic products.
Massage for breast lift
The density of the skin and its elasticity depends on the state of the cells and the rate of their regeneration. An effective method, how to tighten the breast after childbirth and restore the elasticity of the dermis, is self-massage. The simplest option is a contrast shower. Alternate douchement of mammary glands with hot and cold water under intense pressure stimulates blood circulation and saturation of tissues with oxygen. Strengthen the effect by using a bast or a semi-rigid brush.
Recommended tricks:
- squeezing and stretching the nipple with your fingertips;
- mild kneading of the whole breast with his fist;
- easy circular finger picking from the nipple to the periphery;
- intensive pounding.
Breast Lifting Cream
Lifting cosmetic products, like manual therapy, only work on the skin, so the results after their application are visible only at the first stages of ptosis. Breast lift, which sagged heavily, with the help of a cream is not carried out. No compound for external application can penetrate into the deep layers of the dermis or adjust the position and volume of adipose tissue.
Required means for breast augmentation:
- Lierac Bust-Lift;
- tianDe Bust Beauty;
- Eveline Push-Up Slim Extreme 3D;
- Guam Inthenso;
- Salon SPA Bust Contouring.
Masks for a breast lift
Similarly to rubbing creams, the described variant of care of a bust is more suitable for prophylaxis or at absolutely imperceptible lowering of mammary glands. Have not yet invented a way how to tighten sagging breasts through the local use of external drugs. Masks positively affect the condition of the epidermis and its elasticity, but do not affect the volume and shape of the bust.
Daily prescription for breast augmentation
Ingredients:
- olive oil (unrefined, first pressing) - 25-35 ml;
- home-made cottage cheese - 40-45 g;
- any honey (necessarily natural) - 30-35 g;
- Freshly squeezed juice from a leaf of an aloe - 10-15 ml.
Preparation, application:
- All components, except for fresh from aloe, mix with a blender, so that no lumps remain.
- Add vegetable juice, whisk the formula with a fork.
- Densely to put means on mammary glands.
- After 20-35 minutes, remove the soft cloth with a dry cloth.
- Rinse the bust with warm water, apply a moisturizing cream.
Non-surgical breast lift
If the ptosis is pronounced, and resembles the notorious spaniel ears, one should not experiment at home, but immediately turn to professionals. In modern beauty salons and clinics, a breast lift without surgery with the use of advanced technologies is available:
- mesotherapy;
- biorevitalization;
- microcurrents;
- lipomodeling;
- myostimulation;
- gel fillers;
- thread corsets.
The fastest effect is produced by the last indicated manipulation variant. Such a breast lift is guaranteed to provide instant and sustained results. Other methods of correction of the shape and location of the mammary glands require either regular visits of a specialist for an extended period, or have a short-term effect.
Laser Breast Lift
Recently, advertising of a miraculous procedure has appeared, which promises a rapid improvement in the outline of the bust and its significant increase without the slightest surgical intervention. Hardware chest lift after childbirth, slimming, or other factors that provoked ptosis, is a myth. This technology does not exist, laser devices are used to polish the skin in the presence of scars and stretch marks, and during plastic surgery as an alternative to a scalpel.
Breast lift
The essence of this manipulation is the creation of a subcutaneous corset made of thin gold or biodegradable wires. The resulting mesh cage is securely attached to the clavicles. Mezoniti for a breast lift also stimulate the production of hard collagen fibers, which increase the density and elasticity of tissues. The effect of "sewing" the mammary glands persists for several years.
Breast lift surgery
All the above methods are suitable for eliminating the weak and medium intensity dips. In severe situations, a surgical breast lift is required - mastopexy. This radical way of correcting the shape and level of the bust can be combined with mammoplasty, simultaneously increasing the volume of the mammary glands, making them lush, rounded and elastic.
Breast lift with implants
This option is especially recommended for young mothers who have finished feeding. After lactation, the bust not only sinks down, but also loses its shape, it becomes smaller than before pregnancy, as a result of which the mammary glands hang like empty pouches. Breast lift with parallel endoprosthetics helps to solve these two problems immediately.
It is important to find an experienced surgeon for the operation. Progressive doctors no longer offer sequential manipulations (first - mastopexy, and after a while - installation of implants). This method is morally obsolete and more dangerous than a one-stage plastic with endoprosthetics, because it requires the implementation of 2 surgical interventions under general anesthesia instead of one.
Rehabilitation after a breast lift in this way takes 3-4 months (in general). This prolonged recovery is explained by the complexity of the operation. The surgeon needs not only to install a silicone implant, but also to form a reliable pocket for him from the patient's own tissues, redistributing them so that they hold the insert and do not allow it to move. In addition, there is excision of excess skin and movement of the nipple.
Breast lift without implants
If the available volume of mammary glands is sufficient to create a rounded and accurate outline of the bust, simple mastopexy is recommended. This plastic breast lift involves:
- removal of stretched skin;
- redistribution of adipose tissue;
- formation of the desired bust;
- lifting the nipple (if necessary).
The described kind of operative intervention provides reception of beautiful, natural and elastic mammary glands. The surgical procedure is much less likely to cause complications, including such dangerous consequences as silicone rejection and tumor growths than mastopexy with endoprosthetics, and is less expensive. Due to the lack of implants, the rehabilitation period is reduced to 3-7 weeks.
How are breast lifts done?
The choice of the type of incision depends on the degree of mammary gland failure, their symmetry and anatomical features. The following methods of breast tightening are used:
- anchoring;
- vertical;
- periareolar and circumarose.
Anchor breast lift
The name of the technique described is due to the shape of the surgical incision. It is made in 3 zones:
- around the nipple through the areola;
- vertically down to the base of the breast;
- along the submammary fold.
Visually, these lines together form an anchor. T-shaped breast lift is rarely used, and mainly for mastopexy in combination with the installation of silicone prostheses. It is shown with a strong lowering of the bust, when other techniques with fewer incisions are ineffective. The considered breast lift is associated with the formation of appreciable scarring and requires a long period of rehabilitation. Some surgeons completely abandoned the anchor method because of its traumatic nature.
Vertical breast lift
This cut in shape resembles a round candy on a stick, so sometimes it is called lollipop (lollipop in English). It passes around the areola and descends vertically down to the fold. In almost 80% of cases using this method, breast plastic surgery is performed - the lift provides excellent results at any stage of ptosis.
The presented technique of conducting the operation can be used for both standard mastopexy and mammoplasty with endoprosthetics. It is ideal for various anatomical features of the bust, helps make the mammary glands completely symmetrical, adjust the size and shape of the nipples. By this technique surgeons replace the obsolete anchor section.
Periareolar breast lift
The described form of surgical intervention is prescribed at 1-2 degrees of sagging tissue on a small bust. For a breast lift, a half incision is made along the areola line, similar to a crescent moon. The nipple is not completely cut off, so it can be moved up to a height of 2 cm. If desired, this type of mastopexy is performed with the installation of silicone implants.
Stitches after a tightening of the breast with this technique are thin and almost unnoticeable after healing. The surgical procedure is carried out quickly, it is less traumatic than the variations considered above. Due to the minimal number and small length of the incisions, the pain sensations after manipulation are insignificant, and the recovery period takes a short time.
If you want to move the nipple higher than 2 cm, another form of circular incision is used - circular. In this situation, the areola is processed with a scalpel all the way around the perimeter. Nipple is separated entirely, which provides the surgeon with maximum access to the tissues of the breast. This type of operation is preferable when it is necessary to excise a large volume of excess skin or a significant correction of the size and shape of the areola, restoring its symmetry.
A circular incision is often used during mammoplasty after the removal of neoplastic tumors or radical mastectomy. Thanks to a qualitatively performed surgical intervention with the simultaneous placement of silicone prostheses, an absolute restoration of the natural shape and size of the breast is achieved, with the preservation of nipples and areolas. This provides not only an excellent aesthetic result, but also the stabilization of the emotional state of a woman who has undergone removal of the mammary glands.
