Can Botox be used for breast lifts?

The answer is yes and no. While there are effects, some experts say they are minor—making this operation an ineffective application anyways.

The anti-wrinkle drug can be used for many applications. And experts say that it can also be used to give breasts a temporary mild lift.

A Botox breast lift involves having to inject the drug at the pectoralis minor chest muscle, which makes the back muscles compensate by lifting the breast. However, the ill effects lasts only as long as Botox.

“The Botox breast lift is ideal for a woman aged 30 to 50 with an A or B cup breast size who is looking for a temporary, modest or mild improvement in saggy breasts,” explained Dr. Karol Gutowski, head of the plastic surgery division at North Shore University Health System. “This gives them a little bit of a lift and costs about one to two thousand dollars for both breasts.”

One good thing about a Botox breast lift is that it does not leave any scars or require surgery. However, its effects are temporary and at times they go unnoticeable.
“You can probably get the same effect by altering your posture,” explained Gutowski.

Dr. Walter L. Erhardt Jr. agrees with Gutowski. He explains: “Botox is a temporary correction and Botox breast lifts will cost a lot of money because you are now using it for big muscles, not itty-bitty facial muscles. I would go to the gym or take posture lessons before turning to Botox for a breast lift.”
