I am 21 with no kids and no plan to have any but i feel my breasts look like they sag more than the average 21 year old and it effects my confidence. I’m not sure if a reduction or a lift would help give me a more proportional chest. I feel like there is more skin than breast tissue and i am unsure if it would still be considered a breast reduction or if a lift is more likely.

Answer: Breast lift Dear sarahk9978, my preferred lift is a lollipop lift when a periareolar won't do (ie greater than 2cm lift required). The lollipop technique was created by a Canadian plastic surgeon named Elizabeth Hall-Findley and treats the breast as a three dimensional structure instead of two dimensions (anchor - lift). Most importantly it does not require the horizontal component scars that the anchor-lift requires and breasts appear much more natural, lifted, and less boxy. Lastly, the lift lasts longer because the lollipop doesn't rely on the skin to hold the breast up, its actually breast tissue thats being brought together to support the breast and hence improves longevity. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Answer: I am a 34G, 158 pounds and 5”10. Breast reduction or breast lift? (photos) The best way to determine what your breast size should be with respect to your anatomy and give true advice would be an in-person exam with a third board certified plastic surgeon who performs hundreds of breast procedures annually. Not only does proportion depend upon the aesthetic balance of your breasts with your shoulders, waist, hips, and buttocks, but also upon your objectives, active lifestyle, soft tissue quality, muscular anatomy, and long-term concerns. A breast reduction includes a breast lift.
