I have recently lost 3 stone after giving birth and breast feeding and feel like my breasts are extremely saggy for a 22 year old. Do I need a procedure or are they normal for my age? I feel uncomfortable with my husband with my body

Answer: Do I Need Just A Breast Augmentation Or A Mastopexy With Implants? The obvious answer to your question is dependent upon how you see yourself. Motherhood, especially at a young age, is a beautiful thing. You get to grow up right along with your children. If you are wasting psychological energy pretending you are not unhappy with your body, you will have less of that energy to spend on your children. If you were my patient, I would recommend a lift along with the augmentation. That way, you can have younger, perkier breasts which tend to make individuals feel better about themselves. This can release the psychological energy which very often translates into a happier self image, and I truly believe in the old saw "when Momma is happy, everyone is happy".

Answer: Mastopexy or augmentation? Congratulations on your weight loss. I think that your breasts are in a somewhat "borderline" position on your chest wall. Whether or not you should have a breast lift at the same time as breast augmentation surgery will mainly depend on your personal goals. If you wish the breasts to be higher on your chest wall ( "perkier"), then breast lifting and will likely be necessary. On the other hand, if you simply wish to achieve a larger version of your current breasts, then breast augmentation surgery will likely suffice. Do not expect the breast augmentation surgery to lift the breasts. In my practice, I think that most patients in your situation choose to proceed with breast augmentation/lifting surgery.My best suggestion: clarify in your mind what you wish to achieve. Then, select your plastic surgeon carefully and communicate your goals carefully as well. Best wishes.
