Breast “Sagging” at 16?

Thank you for the question. I think the first place to start is to achieve a long-term stable weight through appropriate diet and exercise. Do your best to avoid significant fluctuations of white that can be detrimental to the skin elasticity and resulting breast position. Use of supportive bras may also be helpful. Down the line, he may benefit from breast lifting/reduction depending on your situation and life circumstances. Best wishes.

Breast sagging at age 16--what to do.

By your own description your body and your breasts are proportionate (both a bit large), and implants do NOT "lift" sagging breasts, nor do they prevent future droopiness! Your own breast anatomy has a downward-pointing nipple configuration, and this is entirely normal, though it may not be what you want your breasts to look like. Cosmetic breast surgery (probably a breast lift) can improve the appearance of your breasts, but there will be scars, possible loss of sensation, and... more

Preventing breast sagging

Often the breast shape is inherited, and unfortunately you have a 'natural' sag or ptosis to your breast shape. Excessive weight and pregnancies can contribute to sagging, and your best prevention is a lean body, and plenty of exercise with a good support or sports bra. Best of luck, peterejohnsonmd.com

Certainly the worst thing that you can do is to keep your weight up or to have multiple fluctuations causing further stretching and sagging. I'd suggest getting into a better diet and exercise place and wearing good support at all times. Implants won't fix sagging either.

Breast shape can vary and does not imply sagging

Breast shape can vary dramatically and having a particular breast shape does not necessarily mean that the breast "sags". In this world of standardization, many women often think that a given breast shape is what they should have and that their own breast shape is somewhat abnormal. Fortunately, there is a great variety of breast shapes that fall within the normal range,and breast shape continues to change over time. Weight control, exercise, and proper bra fit will... more

Preventing sagging Breasts

There is no known way to prevent sagging breasts that has been scientifically proven BUT, it would make sense that if you wore a bra at all times when gravity was at work pulling the breasts down, you should be able to minimize the effects that gravity contributes to the sagging. Of the other two variable, breast size can be changed through breast reduction but skin quality cannot be changed.

Sagging Breasts at 16

At your age, I think your best option would be to begin a diet and exercise program to achieve a normal weight for your body size. While this will not alter any sagging that has already occurred, it may prevent further enlargement of your breasts due to more weight gain. I would recommend waiting until you are around 18 years old before considering any surgery. At that point, you should seek consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon to discuss the options. more
