Breast lift in a young lady

Many of the breast lifts that we use today are not tissue invasive. That is, they do not penetrate the tissue and do not impede with breast feeding. With the various options of scars available we try hard to reduce the size of the scars as well. In general the shape of the breast wins over the scar. Use of appropriate size implants can be an important adjunct in lifting the ptotic breast. So age is independent of your presentation and if you feel that you have lost your breast shape then... more

Needing a breast lift at 26

Dear Whatsupkids, You do not give us much details, neither posted a photo. Unless your breasts are heavy and pendulous and give you back pain ( symptomatic macromastia ), I would recommend you to wait until you are finished with having your children, since your breasts will change after pregnancies. best is to consult a Board-certified plastic surgeon. sincerely, Florence Mussat, MD

Breast lift

Breast lift is an excellent operation for the right person. There are 3 incision patterns which are used depending on the degree of sagging. Minimal sagging can be addressed with a incision around the areola. If the sagging is more dramatic an additional vertical incision from the areola to the breast fold is necessary. Dramatic sagging can require the above incisions plus an incision which runs along the breast fold as well. Sometimes volume loss in the upper breast gives an... more

Breast lift at a young age

Breast lift or mastopexy will come with trade-offs such as a visible scar on the breast. Sagging of the breast is not always age dependent and a breast lift even at age 26 can be a valid consideration. Only you will know if the sagging bothers you enough to consider correction. Best of luck, peterejohnsonmd

Breast Sagging

Breast Sagging or ptosis may happen even at a young age depending on a variety of factors. A minimal amount of laxity may be improved with the increased volume associated with breast augmentation and minimal scarring whereas more significant sagging may require a breast lift and considerably more incisions and scarring. You should determine how much this bothers you and consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon for further evaluation as needed.
