I Am Only 19 and my Breasts Are Very Saggy Im a 36DD. Id Like a Lift, but Nervous About the Afterpain?

It sounds like you are a very active individual and the size of your breasts is an impediment to your ability to do the things you want to do.  My happiest patients are my breast reduction patients who are SO glad to get rid of that weight that is pulling through their neck and shoulders.  As for recovery, everyone is different in that regard.  Some patients bounce into my office after surgery having never taken so much as a Tylenol.  Others are more uncomfortable.  There is no predicting as every patient is different.  Still, we do give you pain meds to help with your recovery.  In the long run, it sounds like it would be worth it for you, but only you can make that determination.

You'll need to see a board certified plastic surgeon to be certain that a breast reduction, which includes a breast lift is the right procedure for you. When the breasts are large and low and sagging breast reduction and lift is often the best choice. 
Interestingly, while all surgery is scary and of course there is some pain involved in any surgery this procedure is less painful than others because it is a skin and glandular operation.  Muscle operations tend to be more uncomfortable.
At your age getting as much information as you can from a board certified plastic surgeon and even from patients who have been through the procedure would be the best way to go. 
 
Best wishes.

Thanks for your question which is a very common one.  Surprisingly, most patients find this operation, whether a reduction or a breast lift, easier than they thought it was.  In selected patients, I find the need to liposuction the outer portion of the breast where it extends around the chest wall and this actually results in more discomfort than the surgical part  .Most patients will use narcotic pain medication for less than a week and then transition to tylenol or ibuprofen.  Definitely the happiest patient population in plastic surgery !

Surprisingly enough the pain level after breast reduction is very tolerable. Non of my breast reduction patients had ever complained about excessive pain. In fact, most of the time they experience immediate relief once the excess breast weight is removed.  The breast reduction includes a breast lift as it is design to remove the excess amount of tissue and reposition the nipple areola complex back into a natural place within the breast. Some other things to keep in mind while considering a breast reduction at a young age is the ability to breast feed  although most of the women that had surgery later in life would have done it earlier. Always look for a board certified plastic surgeon and good luck.

Surprisingly patients do not have too much discomfort after breast reduction or lift surgery.  Most patients in my practice will say on a scale of 1 to 10, where 10 is the worst pain, they say it is about a 4.  Good luck.
