I (F22) had a boob reduction at 18, I went from 32G to 33D. My boobs are not sagging, but they seem very low on my chest. I have a small torso which I don't think helps but would there have been a way to make them higher during my reduction or is this just where my boobs are? I'm really trying to not think negatively about it and make myself insecure but I can't find anything online about this and I just don't think it's normal.

Answer: Breast lift Dear lozaherbiii, 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 surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Answer: Breast lift revision You seem to have nice size breast size for your frame and your nipples are in good position. However, over the years your soft tissues have bottomed out a bit or so called pseudoptosis. This can be easily fixed with a revision of your breast reduction by only removing some excess skin along your old vertical and horizontal scars. You should get a very nice result. Good luck.
