I’m 18 and I have really saggy boobs. I have severe anxiety and depression and I’ve had saggy boobs since they started developing (around 8-9 years old). Bras are uncomfortable and no matter how many times I re position my boobs so my nipples face forwards, they always work their way back to facing down (I wear overly tightened bras to try to stop my boobs from moving themselves). I can’t be braless while at home relaxing because my nips rub my belly folds I physically can’t cope like this now
Answer: Breast Lift incisions Thanks for your question and sharing your concerns. Breast lift incisions are typically placed around the nipple itself and down the center of the breast toward the fold. Depending on your individual needs there may be an incision in the fold of the breast as well. From what is visible of your tattoo it is unlikely that the incisions would interfere with the ink. The new nipple position will be higher and pointing forward but the goal is always to leave incisions so that they are not visible in any sort of clothing. It is possible, however, that the shape of the tattoo may change slightly because the skin will stretch slightly differently after a lift.

Answer: Tattoo Your tattoo might need to be touched up once you have healed from surgery since some of the lower part may be excised with the lift. Go meet with a plastic surgeon and discuss your concerns.

Answer: Will a mastopexy interfere with a chest tattoo? Hi and welcome to our forum!As a result of a breast lift, you will have a scar around your areola extending downward to the fold at the bottom of the breast, and perhaps along the fold itself. It does not appear to involve your tattoo. However, as loose skin is removed and the remaining skin advanced downward, there may be a minimal degree of tattoo distortion. Visit a board certified plastic surgeon for more accurate advice after an in-person examination.Best wishes...

Answer: I have a chest tattoo and I’m in desperate need of a breast lift, will it mess my tattoo up? Breast lift incisions will go around the areola, down the center from the bottom of the areola to the fold, and then within the fold of the breast. There should be no incisions on your tattoo. I encourage you to meet with a board certified plastic surgeon near you to discuss the procedure and your surgical goals.

Answer: I have a chest tattoo and I’m in desperate need of a breast lift, will it mess my tattoo up? Physical examination (includingcareful measurements) would be necessary to provide you with precise information but based on the photographs, I think it is very likely that your tattoos will not be affected by breast lifting surgery. My best advice: careful selection of plastic surgeon and careful communication of your goals. Best wishes.
