I'm a 21 year old with size 34D breasts that sag and I was wondering whether I should consider a breast lift?

Question

In my teens my boobs grew too quickly (I believe it was a hormonal imbalance) and I saw that my boobs sagged. I was saddened b/c I didn't expect sagging in my teens, and since I've been considering a breast lift, although I'm not quite sure whether I'd like to go through the healing process, or be comfortable with the inevitable scarring that comes with ANY surgery (and of course, the cost). Is the surgery worth it, or should I wait a couple more years to finalize any decision.

You certainly sound like a good candidate for a breast lift - which would likely use an anchor type incision.  That being said, timing of surgery has to do with a number of factors - really too many to list... Best to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon.

It is my pleasure to respond, in order for a recommendation i need to evaluate you photos for a profesional answer.

I advice to post pictures to get a better evaluation
and recommendations. Find a good Board Certified Plastic & Reconstructive
surgeon.

To elevate the nipple and breast tissue it will be necessary to have a circumferential scar around the areola and a vertical scar from the areola to the breast fold.  In most cases the scars are good and with time fade to faint white lines (depends on skin type),  however, will always be present.  Perhaps pre and post operative photos or someone you know who has had the procedure to show you the improvement in shape and what the scars could look like may be beneficial.  It is understandable that you are undecided when you do not know what to expect.. You must be sure before you proceed.

Thank you for the question. As mentioned by the other surgeons without seeing you in person it is hard to discuss the options and your surgery goals. As a reference women <18 and women >65 all having breast lifts / reductions. Your request is not unusual but it does involve healing, all surgery has risk of complications or revisions. Best of luck.

The decision to have a lift is a personal choice. It is difficult to comment without seeing you in person and evaluating  you and discussing your goals.
