Are breasts with implants more likely to sag over time?
All breasts relax with age, because the weight stretches the skin, elasticity is lost with age, and the amount of breast tissue usually decreases. This means that all breasts can be expected to sag whether or not there are implants in them. Breast implants do add some weight to the breast, which may increase the rate of sagging, but implants and surrounding scar tissue also can provide some internal support for the breasts. The end result is that usually implanted breasts sag less. The best way to avoid breast sagging is to wear a properly fitting bra regularly. You cannot expect to go without a bra once you get implants, especially with larger cup sizes. If you regularly go braless, you will be returning to your plastic surgeon for a breast lift to correct the sagging.
