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: Mastopexy or augmentation? Based on the photos, I think an augmentation would re-inflate your breast tissue and avoid the vertical scar of a mastopexy. I would discuss this with a board certified plastic surgeon and have an in person exam. Good Luck!

Answer: Breast augmentation only? I think you really have more deflation than true sagging. I think you would do well with just a breast augmentation. This will refill what you have deflated. Good luck.

Answer: Breast Augmentation - Need A Lift? Thank you for your question and photos. You appear to have asymmetry with the right breast larger and slightly lower than the left. It looks like a lift will be required in addition to placement of breast implants. I do not think you will achieve a satisfactory result with either augmentation or a lift alone. It is best to have an in-person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon who specializes in cosmetic breast surgery. Ask to see a lot of before and after photos of their work. Hope this helps and good luck!

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.
