Ladies! Breast sagging help!!

I have been overweight most of my adult life. I also have PCOS. My breast have never been perky, and at 36, I am giving myself a few years before surgery. Since I have lost some weight, and need about another 40-70lbs to go, my boobs are sagging even more. I have (self-diagnosed) level 3 Ptosis.
I know there isn't a magic pill, nor a magical exercise to fix them but, are there any workouts out there that may help reduce the sagging? Anything someone has done to help the situation with some result?

Can I just say ‘normal’ is BS.
No workouts will reduce tissue sagging and skin stretching. Building pecs and improving posture can alter the shape of your chest though, to a degree.
Sometimes during and after weight loss breast volume can be dramatically decreased.
Some people notice once they are in maintenance they get a bit more volume back.
Wait and see what you’re left with after you’ve stopped losing before you get too concerned.
In the mean time, get fitted for a good bra.11 -
Nothing can really stop your boobs from sagging. It just happens over time really. And there's no such thing as "normal" or the "right way" for boobs to look. Boobs are suppose to be different and that's great! There isn't really any workouts that can be done to reduce sagging since that's something that can just happen over time3

Every one of us with breasts, if we're lucky enough to reach old age, is going to experience some degree of sagging. It's a natural part of aging. It happens due to pregnancy. It happens when we lose weight and we lose the fat tissue that once filled our breasts in. There aren't any exercises that will reverse sagging breast tissue. If there were, nobody would need a breast lift.4

Yup, as the women above have said, sagging boobs are part of life for every woman and there's not much that can be done about it besides surgery. However, my solution is simply to buy some fabulous lingerie! Everyone can get fantastic looking breasts in a well fitted bra.7

I have seen success in minimizing the sag... 1. Have a well fitted bra (mine is from Third Love) and 2. I use Nature well Retinal A and collagen cream twice a day. 3. Drink collagen peptides in my coffee every morning.7

Nothing topical or ingested can restore collagen at a molecular level.9 -
Gravity happens... that’s what underwires are for! I’ve never looked like that “normal” illustration even when I was 15 because I’m very very far from an A cup
There is no normal, work with what you’ve got or start saving for surgery to achieve what you are looking for, there’s no other way

My breasts in my 20’s were the stuff of legend (In my own head.). Now I am 35, I’ve breast fed 2 babies, gained a crap ton of weight, and have recently lost 50 pounds (with a lot more to go). They sag the normal amount while I’m upright, but when I lie down they look like those melting clocks in that Dali painting. I went out and bought some awesome bras and now I feel better. It is what it is, they did their job and now they want to retire in peace. Good work, girls, but the bras will take over from here.6

Wait till you reach my stage in life and your nipples will touch your belly. Not much you can do about it except keep the muscles under the breasts as strong as possible. The breast tissue itself will thin out and become flabby as you age, especially after you go through menopause. Funny recollection from my young ... Me to my mom "Mom, I notice your breasts are big but hang down, why is that, cause mine are round and hard?" Mom ... "Wait darling daughter until you are my age, then you shall see. Your grandmother lived to a ripe old age, and I remember she used to roll her breast tissue up to put it into a brassier."4

I'm totally getting a lift and possible tummy tuck after I finish losing and maintain weight loss for a year. I am usually not a vain person but I don't want saggy boobs. They keep falling soon they'll be to my knees.1
