Hi, I hit puberty at 8 years old and that's when my breast started to grow. My mam gave me these weird bras to wear that did not support me atall. I have a big bust and a small back. I am 32FF and I am 8stone 7 pounds. I first noticed I had saggy breasts when I was 13/14. I was wearing the wrong bra sizes for a few years so I'm assuming that is why.
Answer: Risk factors for sagging. Thank you for your question. It is difficult to be experiencing significant breast ptosis at such a young age, but you are not alone. A large number of women have similar concerns. Current research highlights the following as risk factors for sagging: Greater age, History of significant weight loss (>50 pounds), Higher BMI, Large bra cup size, Pregnancy, Smoking As women age, the Cooper’s ligaments – the connective tissue that helps breasts keep their shape- stretches out. Aging also causes breasts to transform into having more fat rather than breast tissue making them less perky and making them appear deflated. Although you cannot control the natural aging and sagging effects, or a genetic link, factors such as weight fluctuation and smoking are in your control. In fact, maintaining a healthy weight is important because the higher the ratio of fat to breast tissue within your breast, the increased risk of breast sagging. Having a healthy diet will also be protective (i.e., slow down) of aging effects and sagging effects. Also, please note that breast sagging worsens with the number of pregnancies you have, and that neither greater weight gain during pregnancy or breast-feeding is found to be associated with a higher risk of breast sagging. Additionally, there are many health fitness magazines and fitness trainers that propagate the claim that participation in regular upper body exercise prevents or corrects sagging. However, there is still no evidence of a protective effect. However, it is recommended to wear sports bra during exercise because the constant pull of gravity and the excessive movement during running can stretch the breast tissue possibly leading to sagging. Having said all this, I urge you to seek a board-certified plastic surgeon to have an in-person consultation for a breast lift. A breast lift can raise your breasts, make them firmer, perkier, and more aesthetically pleasing. Hope this helps.

Answer: 19 years old and saggy breast Thank you for your question. Unfortunately large breast can cause the skin to stretch and the breast to drop because of the weight. Usually the breast sag when the skin is not strong enough or the breast are too heavy or a combination of the two. Unfortunately you cannot prevent or improve this situation without surgery... Regards Mr Netri

Answer: Exercise vs Surgery Hi Meganxmurphy, Thank you for your question. Unfortunately without reference photos, it would be impossible to determine your concern.

If you are considering breast reduction surgery or any surgical option, you can visit a board-certified plastic surgeon for in-person examination and advice. Your surgeon can further discuss the options available for you to correct or resolve your concern. Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS Certified, American Board of Plastic Surgery Member, Am.

Answer: I'm 19 years old and I have saggy breasts. Would exercising help this or is it too late for me? Exercising will not help improve saggy breasts. From the size you indicated( 32FF) it would seem that you would need a Breast Reduction which also includes lifting the breasts. I would suggest that consult with a Board Certified PS with lots of experience performing breast reduction/ lifting surgery.
