Too Young for a Breast Lift?
I'm 19 and I have saggy boobs! I have gone up and down with my weight my whole life and my nipples point down. My doctor says they will shrink and lift but is that really true? Everyone in my family has perky boobs but me.

Breast lift at young age
It is absolutely appropriate to undergo a breast lift at a young age.
As with many other surgeries, there is a prevailing thought that breast lifts are only there to correct droop that occurs with aging.
However they are very appreciated by patients who were self conscious about the appearance of their breasts.
You can discuss what effect if any a breast lift will have on nipple sensation and the ability to breast feed.

Breast lifts can restore the shape and volume to your breasts
Hello - 19 is not too young for a breast lift. However, you may need a repeat lift in the future. As long as your weight is stable for 3 months, you should be okay to pursue a lift. The type of lift you need will most likely be around the areola, straight down from the areola, and possibly a horizontal component. It's difficult to determine without examining you. The recovery is very straightforward with minimal pain and downtime. Good luck!

Too Young for a Breast Lift
I think that the condition of the patient is an important factor in determining if she is the right age for this procedure. Age nineteen is not too young if you have the conditions requiring a breast lift. I would get an evaluation by a board certified Plastic Surgeon.

Breast lifts in young women work but you should be well informed.
You should be fully informed and accept the risks of breast lifts, which include but are not limited to: bleeding, infection, injury to blood vessels and or nerves, scars, interference with future lactation, mammography, asymmetry, delayed wound healing, unsatisfactory appearance, need for further surgery. I agree with the other consultants that remaining at a constant weight would be important to permit the fatty component of the breast to be stable. The other possibility...

Breast Lift is appropriate for women with a desire to improve their breast shape
Hi there-
Your young age is not a concern- and I do think you could be made very happy with a well planned and executed breast lift.
The real concern is your weight and the changes in your weight that you describe. It would be important that your weight be stable and at a level you believe you can maintain over the long term, in order to maximize your long term satisfaction with the surgery.

Breast lift
A breast lift to provide "perkier" breast can be performed. But, if your weight is going up and down and it is not stable, you are probably better off waiting until the weight is stable.

Options for lifting your breasts
Before you decide to move forward with surgery, it's important to be sure expectations are realistic and you have an understanding of the commitment needed for the healing process. Make sure that you understand the nature of your surgery, the recovery process, and that you feel comfortable and emotionally ready to make these changes to your body.
