I'm 28, 5'2 and no children yet. I've always been large breasted but now they've gone way out of proportion. I'm open to anything that would improve my bust, whether it's a lift or a reduction or any other suggestion. I've been telling myself I should wait with this until I had children, but would it be ok to do it now instead? Also I'd like to still have large breasts, it's part of my personality and I don't want to be flat chested. But not with breasts down to my belly button anymore.

Answer: Breastlift at 28?
Now is absolutely a good time to have surgery, as long as your health is good and you have no imminent plans to have a baby in the very near future. A lift with an anchor scar with a small reduction would give you a very nice result, and improve the match between the breasts. Your nipple will remain attached to the underlying breast tissue so you can ultimately breastfeed if you would like. Pregnancy and breastfeeding may impact the size, shape and symmetry of the breasts, so you might want to pursue a revision in the future, which tends to use the existing scars. You should be happy with your body, so if your breast contour makes you feel self conscious, you should think about meeting with a board-certified plastic surgeon to help you safely achieve your goals!

Answer: Having a Breast Lift/Reduction with larger, saggy breasts
You are exactly right in wanting to preserve the size of your breasts even though you want a lift and a reduction. You are an excellent candidate for a lift with some degree of reduction. If too much is removed and you become a small C, you might find that you are too small. You should discuss with your surgeon what you see as a successful result in terms of size. If you want a moderate reduction along with the lift, there should be no problem in achieving this. The more tissue is retained, the better the circulation to the nipple/areola will be, and the less chance of healing problems due to decreased blood supply to that area.
While nipple sensation is usually retained after breast reduction, there is always some risk that it will be partially or even completely lost. This can interfere with breast feeding. If the ability to breast feed is important, you might want to wait until after having children
