Are my breasts deformed? What can I do to fix them? (Photo)

Question

My breasts are horrid. Saggy, spaced to far apart, huge pale areola. They sit very low on my chest. I'm losing weight, and they just look worse and worse. This is destroying my self confidence. I'm 24 years old and I'm a virgin, and a joke to friends who call me "nips." Is there something wrong and what can I do to fix it?

Thank you for your question and photos.  I am sorry to hear about the problems your breasts have caused you.  Fortunately, you appear to be an ideal candidate for a full breast lift with implants.  You have what is called ptosis or sagging of the breasts (seems to be grade 3 ptosis).  The full breast lift, although it will leave scars on your breasts, will lift your breasts to a higher position on your chest and reduce the size of your areola.  The addition of implants will give you enhanced volume.  Be sure that you choose a surgeon who is board-certified in plastic surgery and is an expert in the full (anchor) breast lift procedure.All the best,Dr. ResultsMiami, FL

Hello,Thank you for your question and photos. Breast sagging- especially after weight loss- is very common. If you would like to reposition and resize your areolas while lifting and reshaping the breasts, a breast lift will likely meet your needs. You can do this with or without breast implants.I recommend that you book a consultation with a board certified Plastic Surgeon to discuss your options.All the best

Hi. I think you have enough of your own breast tissue to do a lift only. All of your problems could be addressed through a minimal scar technique.   Rgardd

You have lost weight and looks like in the process, your breasts have lost volume and are sagging. When you have finished losing your weight, see a board certified plastic surgeon who can properly examine and evaluate you and recommend the best surgical options for you. Just based on your photos, you appear to be a good candidate for a full breast lift. Good luck!

Hi nomorenips.  Thank you for sharing your photos.  Both your breast tissue and nipple areolar complex are sagging so a full breast lift is indicated.  You may wish to use an implant to restore upper cleavage/fullness and help them look closer together.  During the maneuvers of a breast lift, you can resize the areolae to be more proportionate.  If your breast size is actively changing with weight loss, you may wish to wait until they stabilize before finalizing an implant size. Have a consultation with a plastic surgeon to go over the surgical techniques and different options on implant types.  Hang in there, a beautiful result awaits you!

You are not deformed. You simply have what we call ptosis which means that your breast sag. This can be corrected with a breast lift which will lift your breast to a higher point on your chest. If you also want more volume, you could add an implant. Schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon in your area (link below) to discuss your options. Best, Dr. Nazarian

Thank you very much for your question.  While breast deformities do exist, you do not appear to have one.  For a patient like you in my practice I would offer a breast lift.  This would also include a reduction in the size of the areola.  This would certainly result in more youthful appearing, symmetric breasts that sit higher on your chest.  Try your best not to let others bother you with their teasing! Best of luck to you!

You have breast ptosis, not deformity.  A lift (mastopexy) to reduce excess skin and perhaps an augmentation to increase volume should yield a great result.  If you are planning on weight loss, do it before surgery.  Best of luck!

You have breast ptosis or saggy breasts.  They are not deformed.  A breast lift or breast lift with a breast implant will help you get a better shape.Best Wishes,Nana Mizuguchi

Hi,  You are young, and have breasts that are lower than most women your age.  This is likely due to the fact that you have lost a significant amount of weight.  There is nothing 'wrong' with you, but I understand your desire to have a beautiful breast shape.  Many women with breasts like yours are able to have a breast lift to reshape their breasts, lift their nipple to a higher position, and make the areolae smaller and rounder.  In addition, you could consider having breast implants at the same time, to give you more fullness on the upper chest.  In this scenario, I would remove a large amount of breast tissue from the bottom of the breast to avoid a 'saggy' look.Good luck, and I hope you can find a reputable plastic surgeon to take care of you!
