Perkiness is a desirable feature of good-looking breasts. To some, it’s more important than the size. As a woman, you go through a lot of physical and hormonal changes during your life. Pregnancy, breastfeeding, menopause and weight fluctuation just to name a few. These factors can reduce your breast perkiness and leave them looking deflated or saggy. Fortunately, there are effective ways to slow the sagging process and maintain breast perkiness for longer as you get older.
Skin products, proper support, exercise, and a few lifestyle habit changes can help you keep your breasts perky for longer. While they may slow the process of drooping, they cannot stop it or give you your perky young breasts back. The only way to do that is by cosmetic breast surgery. Breast implants, breast lift, breast reduction and fat transfer are all effective ways to make your breasts look and feel perky, fuller, and rounder again.

Breasts are made of fat, glandular tissue, and connective tissue. The connective tissue is what gives your boobs their shape and is responsible for perkiness. The most important connective tissue component is called “the cooper’s ligaments” or “the suspensory ligaments of cooper”. You can imagine these as tight threads forming a web inside your breast to hold the tissue together and lift the breasts. You lose perkiness when these ligaments become stretched as you age.
Moreover, when your skin becomes lax and stretched, your breasts will lose more of their fullness and appear deflated. Ultimately, the only effective way to restore breast firmness and perkiness is breast lifting, this can also be combined with implants if desired.
There are several factors that contribute to breasts sag and cause boobs to lose their perkiness, including:
There are no magical ways to tighten your breasts. Most of the advertised methods to naturally lift your bust are exaggerated and only help in preventing and delaying breast sagging and skin wrinkling. Cosmetic breast surgery is the only effective way to fix sagging breasts and make your boobs fuller and rounder. However, here are some ways to help your breasts along:
You need to know that there are no wonder creams or lotions that would lift your breasts without surgery and restore perkiness. Nevertheless, having a healthy skin routine that involves the exposed areas of your breasts (like your cleavage) can keep your skin tighter and reduce blemishes and wrinkles. Use moisturizer and sunscreens with high SPF to keep your breast and décolletage skin healthy, especially if you live in a sunny area or wear clothing that exposes the area regularly.

Some doctors believe that wearing a bra helps you stay perky, while others argue that wearing a bra can cause earlier sagging since it might weaken your ligaments. Ultimately, evidence to support either argument is lacking. Some bras might make your breasts look perkier and your cleavage fuller, but they don’t address the actual problem. We recommend that you wear a comfortably proper fitting bra to maintain a good posture and support you when exercising. This can subsequently contribute to keeping your boobs perky and healthy.
Exercising can help improve your posture, maintain a healthy weight, tighten your chest muscles, strengthen your ligaments, and improve your overall health. This can delay boob sagging and help you stay perky after losing weight.
If you want to retain perky breasts you need to avoid extreme weight fluctuations. Yo-yo weight is an important contributor to breast ptosis. When you gain weight, your breasts are more affected by gravity, which stretches your ligaments and your skin. If you gain and lose weight too often, you’ll be left with excess stretched skin and saggy deflated boobs.
Smoking is harmful to your overall health and is an important cause of earlier breast drooping and lax skin. It weakens your ligaments and damages your skin.
By maintaining a healthy posture, you might reduce the effect of gravity on your breasts. Avoid chronically bending over and hunching the shoulders.
Staying hydrated is important for the health of your skin and tissue. By keeping a normal water balance, you can prevent the early ageing of your skin.
These methods help you delay sagging of the skin and therefore sometimes the breasts (skin lax). However, surgery is without a doubt the best way to get them perky again. Surgery can give you youthful and firmer breasts by removing the excess skin and lifting and tightening your breasts up into a higher position. There are several surgical techniques to make your breasts perkier: Breast lift, breast implant, fat transfer, breast reduction or a combination of these.

There are several types of breast surgery to fix deflated droopy breasts. Your surgeon will explain to you which surgery is best for you depending on the size of your breasts, the degree of ptosis (sag), and your desired outcomes. The aim is to lift your breasts and nipples, tighten your skin, and if you choose to enhance their size with implants. This can be achieved by breast lifting alone or it can be combined with other procedures to get the outcome you’re after.
Most of these surgeries can be combined together to give you the breasts you desire. Cosmetic breast surgery is the most effective way to get perky and young-looking breasts.
The internal lift or internal bra is not an independent surgical procedure on its own. It is a technique that plastic surgeons use in breast lifting, breast reduction, or implant revision surgery to provide better support for your breasts. An internal bra is when your surgeon tightens the breast pocket firmly with strong sutures to provide a stronger, longer-lasting lift. It is thought that this technique makes your implants and where they sit, last longer.
A major problem with saggy breasts is losing the perky cleavage. This is usually our patients’ top concern. When your breasts become soft and lose their elasticity, the fat and tissue become concentrated in the lower pole of the breast and the upper pole looks empty – no more cleavage. Breast implants are a wonderful solution for women who want to emphasize their cleavage. A breast implant will pump the volume of your breasts and provide upper pole fullness, which emphasizes your cleavage and enhances its contour. It can be combined with a breast lift (mastopexy), which will lift your nipples and breasts back to their normal position and tighten your skin to give you natural and young looking boobs.
If you’ve already had breast augmentation surgery but 10 years or more have gone by or you now feel like your implants are out of place or your skin is sagging, then you might need breast implant revision surgery. There are a few options for this surgery;
