Saggy Breast 21 y/o, Fluctuating Weight, What Can I Do to Prevent Further Sagging?

I am 21 years old with very saggy breasts.I have been both very underweight and overweight and have almost constantly fluctuated between the two over the last 10 years. I am currently a little overweight butworking towards a healthy weight and I exercise a lot.What can I do at the moment to prevent furthur sagging? I would contemplate a lift when healthy,but I am put off by scars and wouldnt want any implants. Is it possible to have a lift without implants and in a way with minimal scars?

Breast lift and scaring

Unfortunately short of controlling the weight fluctuations, there is little you can do to "prevent further sagging". Any lift procedure would involve scarring. This can range from minimal scarring just around the areola to an anchor shaped scar that goes around the areola, to the bottom of the breasts and then in the fold of your breasts. You need an examination by a board certified plastic surgeon to determine your candidacy.
