Breast Lift or Breast Reduction Surgery for 21 Year Old?

The Ultimate Breast Lift/Reduction was developed using engineering principles to elevate and support the breast other than just skin. This new technique reshapes a woman's own tissue to form an internal bra that is then attached permanently to the chest muscles. Standard techniques rely on skin to be the only means of support for the newly formed mound. And as every woman knows-this is simply not enough! With the Ultimate Breast Lift, the forces of gravity are opposed. Breasts are lifted higher than other lifts achieving upper pole fullness without the need of an implant. An added benefit of this new technique is that the vertical scar is NOT needed. The final result is a firm, perky, natural appearing breast with minimal scars. It's worth looking into.

Hello! Thank you for your question! The mastopexy, breast lift, procedure raises the breast, which ultimately provides a more youthful and perky breasts. This is done by removing the extra loose skin and rearranging the surrounding breast tissue in order to reshape and support the newly formed breast. At the same time, the nipple-areolar complex (NAC) is raised to the ideal position above the fold beneath your breast (the inframammary fold) as well as being placed at the most projecting portion. Oftentimes with age or following pregnancy, the NAC becomes widened and enlarged. This may be reduced in size during the breast lift procedure. A breast reduction has basically the same principles, except that the goal is to make the breast smaller. Regardless, the overall result will be to remove excess skin and tissue while also raising the nipple-areolar complex to an appropriate, aesthetic position on the breast. Ultimately giving a fuller and more youthful, yet smaller, breasts.It is common for the breast to lose its firmness and uplifted appearance over time, which is also accentuated with age, pregnancy/breast feeding, weight gain/loss, and gravity. This results in breast ptosis, or sagging of the breast, with a “deflated” appearance. Women seek the mastopexy procedure to regain the previous youthful appearance of her breasts and women report increased confidence, self-esteem, and femininity once achieving this desired shape and fullness. Breast lifts may or may not be performed with implants – the implant would add increased size but also greater fullness in the upper pole of the breasts which creates more cleavage. Hope that this helps! Best wishes!

If you want children and expect to have them soon, then I recommend you wait as pregnancy can reverse the effects of your surgery. If you're not sure, then you can consider a breast lift and reduction performed at the same time. This would give you breasts a perkier shape and reduce them in size if necessary. The reduction is optional.
