Age Not a Limiting Factor For Breast Lift

The main limiting factor for breast lift is your ability to tolerate the scar. Many young women who have not had children do not want scars on their breast, but if you are willing to accept the scars, you would be a candidate for breast lift.

Breast lift on 19 y.o.

It does appear that you would benefit from a breast lift procedure. It is important to know that this type of surgery requires incisions to be made around the areola, center of breast and in the fold of the breast. The good news is that the outcome should be a perkier and more youthful looking breast.

19 year old breastlift

If you are healthy and a good surgical candidate, breast lift would achieve your goals of improved fullness and shape. Women are born with asymmetries and all kinds of breast/nipple shapes and sizes. I would recommend you meet with a Board Certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options and look at some representative pre and postoperative photos to better understand the procedure.

Breast Lift at 19

While it is not as common to do a breast lift at your age, we all certainly have done them under the right circumstances. You need to understand the scars are forever and further surgery may be needed later in your life if you have babies.

Is breast lift at 19 OK?

Thank you for the photos. You are 19, but your breasts are "older". You have grade 2 and 3 ptosis or sagging on the right and left respectively. A short scar breast lift will reshape your breasts, make the nipple areola complexes smaller and move them higher on the breast mound. You can achieve a very nice, perky result. The price is an obvious scar around the areola and vertically down the breast. The scars will fade over time, but they will never completely disappear. See a board... more
