Will Breast Lift Also Reduce Breast Size a Little?

i am 19 years old 5'1 & 130 lbs. and i am very unhappy with my breasts.I HATE the way they droop & sag. nipples both point down & also areolas are too big. i am wanting a breast lift or reduction, but not sure if i want implants as well because i know since i am so young they will surely sag again. i like being a 34D but would go down to a full C. i know i need to talk with someone in person but i dont have the money yet. i need to know what i should be saving up for. any help?

In my experience, smaller breasts sag less so you might want to consider that, as well. Once you are able to meet with a surgeon you will likely get better and more definitive answers regarding what is best for you as the surgeon will have the benefit of examining you and you anatomy in person, discussing you goals with you and making... more

Breast lift
