Why are my boobs naturally saggy? (Photo)

Breasts come in a wide range of shapes, sizes and positions, and you need not have experienced pregnancy, breastfeeding or weight loss to have drooping breasts. In your case, your genetic makeup likely caused your breasts to be the way they are. You would certainly be a candidate for a combined breast lift with augmentation, which could improve both the shape and position of your breasts, helping you to enjoy newfound confidence in your appearance. Consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon for the best results.

I appreciate your question.



From your photo, it appears that you would benefit from a breast lift.  A lift would reposition your nipples and reshape your breasts, giving them a more youthful appearance.  Implants will enhance volume.The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.

Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery.



Best of luck!

Hello and thank you for your question.  The
best advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation.  With that
being said, based on your photographs, the best shape and contour could be
achieved with an implant and a breast lift. A lift with an implant can
result in a very nice shape if good technique is used.  The
size of the implant is based on your desired breast size/shape, your
chest wall measurements, and soft tissue quality.  This decision
should be based on a detailed discussion with equal input from
both you and your surgeon.   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.

Thank you for your pictures and questions. What you have is a completely normal variant of anatomy. Some people are prone to developing in a way that predisposed them to naturally ptotic breasts. If you are unhappy with your breasts, then you should consider seeing a board certified plastic surgeon in your area to discuss the possibility of a lift +/- implants (depending on your goals in terms of overall size). I think you would be a good candidate for this type of procedure. Best of luck!

Thank you for your question and photos.  As you pointed out, pregnancy and weight loss are common causes of breast ptosis (sagging).  However, some women are just born with low sitting breasts with sagging.  There may be a genetic component or some changes during development that can result in abnormal breast shapes.  Breasts vary in size in shape widely between patients and within each patient.  On your photos, the breast on the left is larger and hangs lower.  You could undergo a breast lift to reshape, and reposition your breasts higher on your chest.  If you desire upper pole fullness, then I would recommend an implant at the same time.  Best to get a few opinions from board certified plastic surgeons.  Good luck.
