Im 19 years old and have noticed this since the beginning of puberty but thought it would even out, it hasnt. I am average/slim build on a petite frame at 5.3" and 107 pounds. I also have mild eye ptosis and wonder if that has anything to do with it? I would appreciate some advice as I have depression and this really isnt helping my confidence issues. I live in the middle of England. Thank you.
Answer: Breast ptosis in teenage females
Dear Suzie,
Although your breast ptosis is not severe, I can understand why you would be unhappy with them. Please consult with a Board Certified Plastic surgeon who is experienced in breast lifts with minimal scar techniques. In your case, the Mini Ultimate Breast Lift would be ideal. This method utilizes a circumareolar incision to lift and permanently anchor your breast tissue in place. There is NO vertical scar. Results are natural, have longevity and with less scarring. This is not a Benelli lift. The Mini UBL is much more involved and technically challenging.
Kind regards,
Dr. H

Answer: 19 year-old with breast ptosis
After reviewing your photo it appears that you should be able to benefir from a breast lift utilizing a technique which minimizes scarring by restricting it to the areola. You have good volume so you do not need an implant. If the breasts really, really bother you then you consult wih a Board Certified plastic surgeon who can examine your breasts and offer advice. Good luck!

Answer: Breast lift on younger patients
Large breast such as yours may lead to early breast ptosis. I have done breast lift surgery on patients around your age with great results. So, you may truly benefit from breast lift surgery.

Answer: Breast ptosis in a 19 year old I am sorry to hear that you are depressed and would encourage you to address the emotional issues before considering surgery. Breast and eyelid ptosis are unrelated. You have a developmental asymmetry which is more common than you might imagine. As compared with many women who have posted on RealSelf, your condition is milder than most. Keep in mind that breasts (and eyes) are typically not identical and that surgery, while improving the situation, may offer a marginal benefit. It is also worth considering that the shape of the breasts may be altered after pregnancy and that additional correction may be required.

Answer: Breast ptosis not related to eye ptosis, but can be fixed
Breast lifts, aka MASTOPEXIES, would fix the breast ptosis. Best to find a BCPS in your area. You should be aware that there will be scars at least around the areola and from the areola down to the fold under the breast, if not also along the fold under the breast. The trade-off for the scars is that the breasts look closer to what people consider "youthful" and "ideal". I agree with making sure the depression is well controlled preoperatively. Best of luck to you.
