Thank you so much for your time first off. Secondly, I am eighteen, ninteen next month. I developed an overactive thyroid and lost about thirty pounds since I was about fifteen. I have stabalised my thyroid with birth control pills and maintain a consistant weight. after losing the weight my boobs did shrink about a half to a full cup size (i used to wear a d) now I sag to the point that when I lay on my back my sternum is the high point and my sand bags are to the sides..this is a life crisis.

Breast surgery after weight loss

Hi. It sounds like you will benefit from surgery.

Breast lift

Breast lift for sagging breasts

Hello "Clueless." I don't think you are clueless at all, incidentally. Your question and concerns are very valid. Obviously, you need to be examined by a board-certified plastic surgeon to counsel you adequately on your options. From your description alone, it sounds like you would benefit from a mastopexy (lift), and possibly an augmentation if you have lost substantial volume. When your breasts are put up in a bra with adequate support, do you feel like you have enough... more

Breast Surgery after Weight Loss?

Thank you for the question. Although I empathize with your situation at your young age, I hope that you are not serious when you describe it as a “life crisis”. If you are serious, with all due respect, counseling may be in order. For most patients, who present with your concerns, breasts augmentation/breast lifting may be indicated at some point. Timing of the surgery is important and should be coordinated with other life events such as... more
