Breast Lift Mama Drama: Got milk? Yes, a lot of it. In fact, your once A or B cup can suddenly runneth over as your breasts become engorged for nursing -- not exactly a change most women complain about...until they realize Mother Nature's boob job is temporary. As dermatologist Dr. S. Manjula Jegasothy, MD, founder of the Miami Skin Institute explains, milk ducts and glands deflate once a woman is done nursing, leaving moms with smaller and saggier breasts that they often describe as "bags of air."

Mommy Makeover: You can say so long to saggy breasts with a breast lift, which raises and reshapes breast tissue, while also eliminating any excess skin you may have acquired. If you're more interested in boosting your bust's volume, you can opt for implants to restore -- or increase -- original breast size. Of course, you can also have your doctor perform both a breast lift and augmentation, which we're pretty sure makes many a surgeon the ultimate bosom buddy in the hearts of their patients.

Cost: $6,000 - $10,000 for a breast lift
$8,000 - $12,000 for breast augmentation
