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

A breast lift is certainly possible for someone your age as long as you reconcile that you wil have permanent scars on your breast.

Breast Lift at age 19

You do have significant breast asymmetry and sagging. What you need to consider would be: is making the breasts perkier and more similar in size and shape worth having the permanent scars required to accomplish this change. If you decide to proceed, look at the website of The American Society of Plastic Surgeons - wwwplasticsurgeryorg. ALL of its members are certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery. You would benefit from a Breast Lift Procedure. If you are happy with the... more

Breast lift will dramatically improve the shape and symmetry of your breasts

Hi there- A well done breast lift will improve both the shape and the symmetry of your breasts. The costs will be that you will be trading the breasts you have now for much prettier, even ones, but that have scars on them. These scars do not, however, necessarily need to be ugly or conspicuous. Your keys to being safe and maximizing your chances of being happy are: Only let a surgeon Certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery perform surgery on you Understand... more

Options for breast lift surgery

Your do have significant breast sagging even at the young age of 19. Unfortunately your breast shape can only be corrected with a breast lift. A consultation with a plastic surgeon will help you understand your options.

Breast lift would be reasonable

If you are willing to trade the droopy appearance for a fair number of scars, then a mastopexy might be something for you to consider. see a board certified plastic surgeon and peruse photos of mastopexy results-then you can decide if it's for you!

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

Breast Lifting at 19?

Thank you for the question and pictures. No, breast lifting is not “out of the question” at your age. Having said that, there are many things you need to consider. Exactly what procedure you will benefit from will depend on your goals for your breast appearance. For example, some patients in your situation opt to have breast lifting only; some patients elect to have breast lifting along with breast augmentation (to achieve more “superior pole”... more

Too young for a breast lift

I do think that a breast lift would make your breasts look better, but there will be permanent scars and there will be the need for touch up procedures over time as it will not be a one time surgery for you
