Im 19 years old and have noticed this since the beginning of puberty but thought it would even out, it hasnt. I am average/slim build on a petite frame at 5.3" and 107 pounds. I also have mild eye ptosis and wonder if that has anything to do with it? I would appreciate some advice as I have depression and this really isnt helping my confidence issues. I live in the middle of England. Thank you.
Answer: Breast ptosis in teenage females
Dear Suzie,
Although your breast ptosis is not severe, I can understand why you would be unhappy with them. Please consult with a Board Certified Plastic surgeon who is experienced in breast lifts with minimal scar techniques. In your case, the Mini Ultimate Breast Lift would be ideal. This method utilizes a circumareolar incision to lift and permanently anchor your breast tissue in place. There is NO vertical scar. Results are natural, have longevity and with less scarring. This is not a Benelli lift. The Mini UBL is much more involved and technically challenging.
Kind regards,
Dr. H

Answer: Breast lift on younger patients
Large breast such as yours may lead to early breast ptosis. I have done breast lift surgery on patients around your age with great results. So, you may truly benefit from breast lift surgery.

Answer: Breast ptosis not related to eye ptosis, but can be fixed
Breast lifts, aka MASTOPEXIES, would fix the breast ptosis. Best to find a BCPS in your area. You should be aware that there will be scars at least around the areola and from the areola down to the fold under the breast, if not also along the fold under the breast. The trade-off for the scars is that the breasts look closer to what people consider "youthful" and "ideal". I agree with making sure the depression is well controlled preoperatively. Best of luck to you.

Answer: Breast Ptosis on 19 Here Old?
Thank you for the question and picture.
At some point, you may benefit from breast lifting surgery. I think the major question in your case would be timing of the surgery. In my opinion, you would ideally have the “depression” sorted out before you consider any type of surgery.
Breast lifting involves some degree of tightening of the breast skin envelope. In order to tighten the skin envelope, skin excision is necessary; this results in the presence of scars.
Sometimes, the presence of scars is a “dealbreaker”; patients would prefer to leave their breasts unchanged than to have scars. At other times, patients prefer to have the improvement in breast position, shape, and (possibly) size and are willing to accept the trade-off of scars.
Generally speaking, the scars associated with breast lifting our most readily accepted by patients who are in a psychosocially stable place ( for example happily married and having had children).
I hope this helps.

Answer: Breast ptosis in a 19 year old
I understand your concerns. Breasts come in all different shapes and sizes. If you are unhappy with the position of your nipples, you should go for a consultation with a good Plastic surgeon. You will need a breast lift which is generally an easy successful procedure. Good luck.
