Are There Any Ways To Get Perkier Breasts Without Surgery?
Firm, perky breasts are what most women want—but not everyone has their desired breast shape. Even those who are satisfied with their silhouette can find that pregnancy, weight fluctuations, aging, and sun damage contribute to stretched-out skin on the chest, altering their figure. There’s no way to truly address loose skin and reposition the breasts for a dramatic improvement without surgery, but if you have very mild sagging, want to enhance your breasts’ appearance in a subtle way, or want to prevent further sagging due to aging and gravity, there are a few simple techniques you can try. For patients who want to get perkier breasts on their own or maintain their shape after a breast lift, Chicago’s Iteld Plastic Surgery team outlines some other options to consider to do at home to help highlight your curves.
Protect Your Skin
As we already know, the sun is highly damaging to the skin, and every time you’re tanned or sunburned, the connective fibers that keep it strong are harmed. Excessive, unprotected sun exposure is what leads to the formation of permanent wrinkles and hyperpigmentation on the face while also increasing the risk of skin cancer.
It’s not just the face that we need to worry about either. The sun also dries out the skin on the chest and causes it to lose its elasticity, causing wrinkles, blotchy pigmentation, broken blood vessels, and crepey areas to develop. If you want to put the brakes on premature aging, don’t bother with topless sun-tanning. If you simply have to head out in tank tops or bikinis this summer, be sure to religiously slather on the full spectrum, SPF 30+ sunscreen, apply Vitamin C, and spend less time in the sun.
Use Makeup Tricks
Contouring with makeup is an easy, inexpensive way to give your breasts a fuller appearance. Combine this with a low-cut shirt, plunging V-neck, or sweetheart-shaped neckline to show off your work while making it look like your breasts are sitting higher. Use a dark contour stick to draw an outline above your breasts and on the inside of them, then follow up with a highlighting stick and blend it in very well so it looks natural.
Switch to a Different Bra
To instantly give your breasts a perkier appearance and look amazing in various outfits, try out a new bra. Push-up bras are a convenient way to give your breasts a fuller, rounder appearance and better cleavage, especially if your breasts naturally sit a little lower than you want them to be. Different types of bras have unique benefits. For example, front-close bras are known for their cleavage-enhancing abilities, while balconette bras add volume. It’s vitally important to make sure that you’re wearing a bra that properly fits your breast size and shape. You can also use specially designed tape from lingerie or bra stores with a strong hold or cutlets to enhance your bust shape.
What About Skin Tone and Texture?
Patients who want a perkier silhouette also often want their newly lifted breasts to look as rejuvenated as possible. Laser skin resurfacing and broadband light treatments use light energy to break down pigmentation irregularities and promote collagen production to address fine lines on the décolletage. Morpheus8, a treatment that combines microneedling and radiofrequency energy, is also ideal for collagen induction.
