Losing fat will make them smaller, and maybe that could eliminate some sagging i guess.... But I think everyone starts seeing the sag as time goes by.

get a breast reduction and lift

This is pretty much your only option if you want them to be perky without a bra on. There are no exercises you can do to tighten the connective tissue and reverse sagging.

Now, to minimise sagging WITH a bra on, it's imperative to get a properly fitting one. If you live in the UK, go to Bravissimo. They specialise in D-KK cups and start at 28 bands. You may be thinking there's no way you're a D-cup, but if you're experiencing sagging there's a good chance you are.

If you've been losing weight lately, it's possible your rib cage measurement has changed. Measure yourself right beneath your breasts, with the tape measure snug and parallel to the floor. Round to the nearest even number (for inch-based systems, as in the US/UK/Canada) or multiple of five (for centimetre-based systems, as in continental Europe). DO NOT add 4-5". This is your band size. For instance, my rib cage measurement is 29", so I wear a 30 band (usually. The sports bras I wear run smal in the band so I wear a 32F - NOTE that I go down a cup size when I go up a band to keep the cup VOLUME the same).

Chances are, your band size is smaller than you think it is. Upwards of 80% of the support in a well-fitting bra comes from the band, so it's essential that you wear a bra with the correct band size.

Now onto cup size. This is trickier and, honestly, you can only find what fits by trying things on. Get an estimate by bending over without a bra on and measuring the fullest point of your breasts. I find this the most accurate for sagging breasts as measuring with a poorly-fitting bra will only give you an inaccurate measurement, while measuring standing up will vastly underestimate your size (when I measure that way I get about four cup sizes BELOW what I actually wear). So on me this measurement is 39",and using the UK system that puts me about 30G. That is one cup size above what I wear, so pretty close.

With your measurements, visit a store with good selection (as you can see from my posts above, that means small bands and big cups), and start grabbing things that are in your band size, plus a size to either side, and ditto your estimated cup size. Remember to go down a cup when you go up a band, and vice versa, as cup size is relative to band size. Try different styles, too; depending on the width of your shoulders, the space between your breasts, the shape of your breasts, etc., you might find some styles work better or worse for you.

Try them on. Look for signs it doesn't fit like:
*Band riding up in the back (go down a band size)
*Straps digging into the shoulders (this suggests the straps are doing too much work; again, go down a band size)
*Gaping in the cups (down a cup size)
*Bridge not sitting neatly on the sternum ( up a cup size, possibly down a band size too)
*Breast tissue spilling out under the armpit (up a cup size)

The cup should FULLY encase your breast tissue. That means it may well be halfway into your armpit. This is NORMAL for larger breasts.

Oh, and to address @cnbbnc 's point: Your breasts might get smaller with weight loss, and they might not. It depends on if your breast tissue is predominantly fat or mammary tissue.

Apologies for any typos; I've read it over but I'm on my phone #millennial
