My breasts sag a lot and I think it's causing severe back pain. Are there any remedies for this or should I consider surgery? What would you recommend?

Conservative measures like wearing a well-fitting bra, maintaining a healthy weight, and strengthening back muscles can help. If these aren't sufficient, breast lift surgery could be considered, but it's important to discuss your concerns and options with a doctor or plastic surgeon.
