Would an areola reduction help my breasts appear less saggy so that I can achieve a more youthful and perky look? (photos)

Question

I'm 19 if it matters here -- unhappy with the shape of my breast and the size of my areola is making my breasts look a bit saggier than what they actually are. I only really want to get an areola reduction but does it look like i can achieve a more youthful and perkier look with just that surgery? I am open to getting a lift too but not if i don't need it. I'm not looking for a crazy change either, just don't want my nipples to look like theyre pointing downwards when facing the front anymore

Hello,
There is minimal sagging in the breasts. A 1-2 cm lift can be achieved with periareolar mastopexy. If more lifting is desired, a doughnut-shaped vertical mastopexy can be performed.

Gerald Minniti, MD, FACS · Answer

Whether you call it a reduction or a lift, there are significant limitations to that technique. It tends to be overused in patients who exceed the limits of the surgery, leading to re-expansion of the areola, incomplete lifting of the nipple-areolar complex, wide scars, pleating, flattening of the breast, and persistent sagging of the breast mound. A true lift with a vertical scar avoids all of that previously mentioned.

You could have a breast lift done possibly with implants but in my opinion it’s not worth the scars for  someone at your age

Based on your posted photos, you can have an areola reduction or donut lift to give them more up pointing nipple appearance. Fee is $5000-$8000. Best of virtual consult with.
