Is Breast Lift Recommended for Sagging Dd Cup Breasts?

I'm 20 and have 36DD breasts that hang much lower than I'd like. I'm considering a Breast Lift, but when I look at my breasts in the mirror and consider what I know about the procedure, a lift doesn't seem to be the right procedure.

From what I can tell, removing skin from anywhere on the bottom half of my breast would just make my problem worse; the top half is what needs tightening, but this doesn't seem feasible.

What are some suitable options and how much scarring do they have? How long might they last on breasts my size?

The Ultimate Breast Lift is a new option for lifting breasts providing upper pole fullness

You are absolutely right!! The Ultimate Breast Lift was developed using engineering principles that lift the newly formed breast mound higher than other techniques achieving upper pole fullness. This technique reforms your existing breast tissue into an internal cone with 'straps' that are permanently attached to your chest muscles. The 'straps' are made from the extra skin on your lower pole. So, in contrast to standard lifting techniques (which rely solely on skin to support... more

There are various types and patterns of breast lifts. Each has different advantages and disadvantages as well as scar patterns. Try not to self-diagnosis but rather go consult with a couple of board-certified plastic surgeons and express your concerns and goals.

Breast lift good for DD breasts

Hi, You are a good candidate for a breast lift through a vertical incision (aka "lollipop inicsion"). The breast tissue is lifting up beneath the skin, and the skin is then re-draped around it. We are not simply tightening the skin for this procedure, as this will not support the breast over time. The results should last indefinitely, although if you gain or lose a signficant amount of weight or become pregnant, your breasts will change as well. You should see a board-certified... more

Breast Lift is needed for low nipples and loose skin

Based on your photo, you are a good candidate for either a vertical (lolli-pop) or a full mastopexy. However, the determination has to be made at the time of consultation. The issue with your breast is how low the nipple is. Once the nipple has been lifted to the correct position, you will have abundant loose skin in the lower portion of the breast. That is why the type of lifts stated above will be needed. see video
