Sagging breasts

If your breasts are saggy and the areolas are large, you certainly could have a reduction and a lift with reduction of the areola diameter.

Treatment for “Saggy” Breasts?

Thank you for the question and picture. There are a variety of different ways to address your concerns. Exactly the procedure that is performed depends on your goals in regards to size, shape, superior pole volume etc. For example you may benefit from mastopexy (breast lifting) of both breasts or breast reduction surgery. Like with any surgical procedure, you should carefully consider the benefits of the surgical options versus the potential... more

Saggy breasts

Your breasts are large and have some ptosis, which is the result of the heaviness. The nipple areolar complexes are large and spread. I think you would benefit from a small reduction, which is effectively a lift, and reduction of the areolae. It is slightly difficult to tell from the photographs but there may be a difference in the nipple heights which is aesthetically displeasing. This can be corrected at the time of surgery.

Breast reduction surgery can rejuvenate the breasts

From the vantage point that your photos were taken from, its difficult to assess how much sagging breast tissue you have. A vertical breast lift with a small amount of reduction from the lower portion of the breast will substantially improve the shape and position of your breasts. The areolar diameter will also be substantially reduced. Good luck !

Breast lift/reduction

Your breasts are a bit heavy, and the areola are a bit large; but I won't call them abnormal by any stretch. You are also perhaps quite young to consider any definitive surgery. However, if you have made up your mind, you should perhaps have a small reduction with a vertical scar technique which will reduce the size of the areola, lift the nipple position and make the breasts lighter.

Your breasts are fine

Your breasts are fine. I would not perform surgery on you at this time in your life.

Breasts are saggy, what should I do?

Your breasts are full, and a little "saggy" perhaps. The more full a breast is (as opposed to deflated), the more you expect some overhang which is not necessarily a bad thing in moderation. Although you could certainly have a lift (or even a reduction and lift if you wanted your breasts to be smaller as well), you must accept the scars. I do not find your breasts aesthetically objectionable, at least in the views that you show. You should look at a lot of... more

Are my Breasts Saggy

One girls saggy is another's happiness. You should seek in person consultations with boarded PS's in your area. At this in person evaluation you can discuss options and treatment alternatives as well as scars .

Might consider breast lift

Your breasts are large and and appear to be sagging with wide areolae. You can consider a breast lift (mastopexy) to reduce the amount of sag and get desired areolae size. For best results contact an experienced board certified plastic surgeon.

Internal breast lift with lollipop scar works well.

Hi, Your breasts are a little saggy, slightly big, and your areolas are too wide. A good breast lift will fix all these issues, but how it is done is very important. I think the vertical techniques (either Lejour or Hall-Findlay) give the best long term results by far. This is because these operations do not rely on tightening the skin to correct sagging. Skin stretches, and so the traditional techniques (which work by creating a new tighter "skin... more

Are my Breasts Saggy

Your breasts are large and your areolae are wide. If all you want is to address these elements then you need to find a board cerified plastic surgeon who will reduce the size of your areolae and through that same approach will lift your breasts and make them perky. No need for any other scars at all, only the ones around your areolae

A small reduction mamoplasty would give you a perky breast with a smaller areolar complex

Depending on how big you want your breast, a small reduction mamoplasty would lift your breast, make them a bit smaller, make them perky, and give you a nipple areolar complex that would be smaller and in a better position on your breast. You need to express to your surgeon just how big you want to be and then expect a really good result if you use a experienced board certified plastic surgeon.
