Question

Im 27 years old and theyre already dropping, what causes this and what can i do to slow it down/prevent it?

Ronald J. Edelson, MD · Answer

You do have a moderate degree of breast sagging, or what we call ptosis.  If you are planning children in the near future you should wait until after children.  You would require a lift and possibly a small implant depending on your size desire.  Several different ways of accomplishing this so its worth going on multiple consults.  Whatever you do, don't simply get implants;  the result simply won't be right.

You would be a candidate for a breast lift when you think that you are ready.    I recommend an in-office examination as well as a detailed discussion with a surgeon who you are comfortable with.   Finally, make sure your surgeon is a Double-Board Certified Plastic Surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS), a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgery (ASPS) and the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS).Best,Dr. DesaiBeverly Hills Institute for Aesthetic Plastic SurgeryHarvard Educated, Beverly Hills & Miami Beach Trained, Double-Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photograph, you are a
great candidate for a breast lift.  This can be designed to result in an
improved shape and contour of your breasts while minimizing scar
appearance.  Make sure you specifically look at before and after
pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon
and evaluate their results.  The most important aspect is to find a
surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation with a
qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.

Gravity and the quality of Your tissue may lead to descent. Wearing brassiere both during the day and at sleep very important.

Farbod Esmailian, MD · Answer

In general, patients who are prone to sagging breasts are those that have had kids, breast feed, massive weight loss, and genetics.  Sometimes there is no escaping the drooping.  Wearing a good supportive bra at all times does help keep the weight of the tissues and help delay the sagging.  I always recommend to my patients to support their breasts to help prolong their results.  This includes even wearing a light supportive bra to bed.Hope that helps.

Greetings,Your appearance is a reflect of your lifestyle. Drinking alcohol, smoking and don't drink water constantly causes your skin to lose elasticity. Using daily a good support bra and correct size will help to keep them in place longer, as the skin ages it weakens and can not resist the weight.
Have an excellent day!

Thank you for your photos. Sagging or dropping of the breasts is a natural aging process. The speed of when this happens can vary depending on your genetics as well as other natural changes to your body such as pregnancy or weight changes and cannot be avoided. A solution would be to have a breast lift to bring your breast tissue back up on your chest and reposition your nipple. It is best to have an in-office examination to determine which technique would best match your goals. Hope this helps!Johnson C. Lee, MD Plastic Surgery

Curtis Wong, MD · Answer

you have some skin issues that have predisposed you to this.  You cannot prevent this but you can slow progression by religiously using a bra to minimize the impact from gravity.  You can also consider ThermiBreast which can produce some lift without scarring.  If you're okay with the scars, then you can have a lift anytime you're ready for one.

Steven Turkeltaub, MD · Answer

Unfortunately, the effects of gravity or relentless so they will continue to droop. Genetics play a role as well, something that can't be truly overcome. However, there are certain things that you can do to slow this process down including wearing a good supportive bra on a regular basis and avoiding weight fluctuations. Pregnancy and breast feeding also impact this negatively.Steven Turkeltaub, MD
