I have ALWAYS had breast that sagged a couple of years ago after I had kids I went to the family doctor and I asked him about some marks that were on my breast.He said it was an infection and gave me a prescription, but asked why do my breast sag, I am too young and asked me about surgery? I want to get my breast done because they sag, the dark marks, moles, etc. Can getting the procedure(s) done correct it and leave little visible scarring?
