When Can I or Should I Get a Breast Lift?

im 17 y/d and my breast (42/44c), as i see it, are not the norm. my nipples point down & not foward, they're under my boobs like they're hidding. they look like they grew upside down. im really uncomfortable about them, and very awear of how they're supposed to be. when i lay down on my back they become flat, on my side they flop on top of eachother. i always thought because i was overweight it caused them to be that way. is this something genetic, and can i get it fixed?

When Can I or Should I Get a Breast Lift??

It would be helpful in trying to respond to have some photos to look at. From the description alone, it seems that you might well be a candidate for a breast lift.

RealSelf has a listing, as does the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (plasticsurgery dot org).

Breast Lift Best Option for 'Floppy-Droopy" Breasts

Judging from your description, a breast lift seems to be your best option. Genetic or not, you certainly have a way to 'fix' it.

This is a great place to start. Kind regards, Dr. H

If you have very larger breasts, you may be a good candidate for a reduction. Without an exam it is difficult to say, but you would need your parents' consent.

Breast shape problems in a young teenager

It is difficult to give you a definitive answer without a photograph. A consultation with a plastic surgeon will answer most of your questions. There are many common abnormalities of breast growth and for a young teen I am sure that this is of a concern to you. Involve your parents and educate yourself to possible solutions to your problem.

Breast lift

I agree that it is difficult to accurately answer your question without photographs. However, genetics can definitely contribute to sagging breasts and nipples pointing downward. I would recommend seeking a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon. Since you are technically a minor, you will need to have a parent or guardian with you in order to sign the consent form. Good luck! Dr. Sam Speron

Can or should have a breastlift

We often blame weight loss or pregnancy for breast sagging or ptosis, but genetics can play an even greater influence. Unfortunately some will just inherit a breast shape with the nipple pointing toward the floor. Breast lift is all about nipple position and you can lift the nipple up front and center and shape the breast with a lift. Yes you can have a lift. Should you depends on where you are in your development and growth, and if you have a complete understanding of the trade off (scar)... more
