The treatment for the correction of sagging breasts caused by weight loss is a breast lift procedure, also known as a breast uplift or mastopexy. Breast lift effectively reshapes the breasts with enhanced firmness and the elimination of breast sagging.

Breast uplift surgery involves the surgical removal of redundant skin and soft tissue, followed by repositioning of breast tissue to improve the appearance of the nipple and breast mound so that they sit higher up on the chest.
