Breast lift for an 18-year-old

Breast lift for an 18-year-old

I’m 18 years old and I want/need a breast lift. I have saggy, asymmetrical 34C breasts with stretch marks, and large areolas. I am planning on having 2-4 children in the future hopefully before the age of 30 so I know I am probably going to need another surgery later on.

I really don’t feel comfortable showing my breasts to anyone. I don’t want implants and don’t want people to know I had surgery. As my breasts get larger during pregnancy, can the areola change shape or stretch out? Can I still breast feed? Will I lose sensation in my nipple? Am I too young? Has anyone my age done this? Thanks!

you have what appears to be a condition known as tuberous breasts. These are breasts that have a smaller diameter base than the average breast in our elongation with large areola. A breast lift requires broadening the base of the breast as well as removing skin and reducing the aereolar size

She doesn't have a condition. You're implying there is something wrong with breasts and they are great already.

A breast lift can help you, but the stretch marks are a warning sign that your breasts will continue to slowly droop in the future, especially with all the swelling of pregnancy. Visually your breast can be lifted and improved, with scars that will fade as a trade-off. Your size looks good without implants. A breast lift is not obvious to outsiders. Your areola will stretch with pregnancy and you should not loose sensation or the ability to breast feed with a breast lift. Young women do choose lifting options, and you are not alone.

I have saggy breast and they look nothing like yours. I can not afford to get a breast lift but I would take your breast over mine any day. Your breast look fine to me.

You don't have a condition. Your breasts look great. You mention sag. I see normal beautiful breasts that most men would go crazy about. Please don't ruin your great breasts with surgery.
