Plastic Surgery: There are many causes of breast ptosis and several options for correction. If the ptosis is minimal sometimes an augmentation alone can improve the appearance, however, most often some sort of surgical mastopexy with or without an implant (depending upon the woman's desired result) is necessary. Always choose a surgeon certified by the american board of plastic surgery (www.Abplsurg.Org).
