hello! i'm a teenager with sagging breasts. i would like to fix it, but i'm unsure of whats even wrong. ever since i can remember i've had breasts that hang down lower than what they seem they should be, also i'm measured as a D34 for bras. my breasts feel like all the fat is being held down at the bottom around my areolas(which btw also bother me from the size)from the side view they look like it's flat at the top and goes down into a triangle(side note at a front view they have an extreme gap)

Answer: Possible pseudoptosis? How can I fix it? Thank you for your question and for the photographs. You have sagging of your breasts and a relatively subtle variant of a tuberous breast deformity. A breast lift will raise your nipple, decrease the size of your areola, and reshape your breasts to a more youthful appearance. If you would like to increase the size of your breasts you can add an implant. An in person examination is needed for definitive recommendations, but I would offer a patient with your similar anatomy a two stage procedure. A two stage procedure means that the lift and augmentation procedures are separated and not performed at the same time. I offered to stage procedures when a lot of lifting is required. Make sure to see board-certified plastic surgeons to discuss your options.

Answer: Correction of Sagging Breast Thank you for the photos they are very helpful. You do have ptosis of the breast but the overall appearance of the breast is a variant of the tubular breast. The narrow base of the breast and large areola are characteristic of this presentation.The good news is this can be corrected nicely with a lift and if desired the addition of an implant. You did not specifically mention your age but it will be important to know if the breasts have changed at all over the last 6 months and you should discuss this with your surgeon.Seek out a board certified plastic surgeon to evaluate you and discuss your options. Good luck and I hope this was helpful.
