Why are my boobs saggy?

Question

Hi, so I'm 15 I wear a 26 dd bra & my breasts sag quite a lot, looking at the chart I put above mine are about a grade 2. It makes me really uncomfortable because I don't want my boobs to be saggy forever. I'm concerned bc ever since I was in about a 24 b my boobs have sagged. I'm not over weight or anything nor have I ever been. I'm normal size for my age. I haven't had any major weight gain/ losses ever. I'm just wondering why this is happening.

It is difficult to know why your breasts sag. Sometimes it is due to genetics or weight loss in a younger person.  However when a person is older, it may be due to pregnancy, nursing and ongoing weight fluctuations.  In my practice, some patients may consider a mastopexy or breast augmentation with mastopexy for correction.  But I do tell my patients that if certain types of mastopexies are performed then it may decrease their ability to nurse.  This is particularly important to consider in a younger woman.

Thank you for your question.  There are many reasons that breasts sag: the pull of gravity, especially with large, heavy breasts; poor skin elasticity and tone, contributing to droop; significant weight fluctuations; pregnancy; hormonal changes; etc.   I am sorry that the are uncomfortable, but you are in a period of your life of dramatic changes.  Though elective surgery to help lift and/or reduce your breasts is not currently appropriate, once you are fully developed, see a board certified plastic surgeon about your surgical options.

Thank you for your question.  The reason for your sagging breasts is simply your anatomy.  If you are experiencing any pain from your breasts, please speak with your parents about your troubles before seeing a surgeon to discuss breast lift/reduction.All the best,Dr. ResultsMiami, FL

You are too young to undergo a breast lift. You may still be growing, and probably best to wait until at least 18.

Hello Dear, thanks for the demostration picture, I have to say that (as you're telling) you have much saggy in your breast tissue and as I can see in the demostration picture, that falling needs to be fixed with a lift and if you  do not have much breast tissue, also you will need impants to get the fullness and perky look.
