Breast lift before or after pregnancy
You should have a breast lift after you finished having children. Pregnancy can affect the shape and sagging of the breasts. If you are sagging now, then pregnancy can make this worse. Also, if you consider breast feeding to be important for your infant, you might want to wait, since after a breast kift there's no guarantee that you will be able to breast feed. You mentioned that you want to have a baby "someday". If this someday is way in the future, then you might want to...

Pregnancy and breast lift
Your question raises two competing issues. If you are a model and think that your career would be enhanced by undergoing a breast lift, then by all means, go ahead. Just understand that pregnancy, with the resultant weight gain and breast enlargement, may affect the result.

Breast lift can be done before childbirth.
Weight gain, weight loss and nursing can cause breasts to sag. If you are planning having kids in the near future, then you should wait. If you are having kids sometime in the future and really want the surgery, go for it. Talk to your doctor about revisions after giving birth, if needed.

Breast Lifts Before or After Pregnancy
The reason plastic surgeons perform breast lifts is to improve the shape of the breast. The overall goal is for you to be happy with your breasts. There are a few reasons why we delay this gratification.
The most common reason to delay a breast lift is pregnancy. Since pregnancy can stretch the breasts, or change the breasts' volume, it is also a common reason for breast lifts. If you are planning to get pregnant soon, you may want to do that before getting the lift to reduce the...

Breast lift before pregnancy or before? It depends...
Echoing Dr. Beraka's answer, unless you are planning on having a baby in the near future, then it is certainly not unreasonable to proceed with a breast lift. Many women have surgery on their breasts, whether augmentation, lifts or reductions, prior to child bearing. So if you are not going to have a baby soon, and you truly desire the surgery, then you should proceed.

With pregnancy in sight, delay a breast lift
The issue of when to have a breast lift depends on timing of starting you family, and if pregnancy is a goal in the next few years, delay your breast lift. You mention working as a model, and if the goal is a serious one you may wish to discuss your thoughts with your agent to make certain breast scars, shape and size will not impact your career.
Best of luck,

Pregnancy and breast lift--is there an ideal time?
Good surgical advice needs to be tempered with the realities of a patient's life. If you are in a relationship and are planing to get pregnant in the near future then, of course, wait. If not ,then the best advice about this, or any other question is "live in the present "and do it. Many of my patients have not needed revisions.

Pregnancy and breast lift
Things to consider:
Breast shape and size after pregnancy and breast-feeding are unpredictable.
If you are sagging now, that won't improve after pregnancy.
Only you can determine how much a lift will benefit you and how tolerable the scars will be.
If your expectation of pregnancy is less imminent than the improved quality of life a lift will provide you, a lift before pregnancy may still be worth it.

Breast lift works before pregnancies.
Hi.
If you are married and definitely planning on getting pregnant in the next couple of years, I would say : wait.
But you talk about "someday". So my advice would be : Do it now and enjoy your new breasts. You may need a touch up when you are eventually finished with babies.
