Question

Hi I am 21 and have a 7 month old son. I was breast feeding and have been really depressed and cry most nights as my breast are extremely saggy and uneven. Please help :(

Rajat Gupta, MD, MS, DNB · Answer

What you have is sagging breasts and what you need is a breast lift surgery. There is also an asymmetry in both the breasts that can be fixed at the time when we plan the procedure. So, meet a board certified plastic surgeon, who can guide you for the treatment plan for asymmetric and sagging breasts.

Sam Speron, MD, FACS · Answer

A breast lift can be done so that the breasts can be more youthful looking and even. The breast lift/mastopexy addresses the sagginess of the breast by removing excess skin and the breast augmentation will had volume to the breast.  There are several different types of lifting including many lifts that do not have many scars. This does not necessarily mean that you need lifting though as it depends what size breast implant you want and your examination so it is not always needed.I would recommend that you see a board-certified plastic surgeon who is a member of both ASPS & ASAPS and has plenty of experience in breast augmentation & lifting surgery. Go over your concerns with them and make sure above all, you walk out of there with several options and an idea of the pros and cons to each of them as well as realistic expectations. I hope this helps and wish you all the best in your surgery and event.

Thank you for your question and for your photos. Based on your photos provided, you are an ideal candidate for breast lift. I would advise you to schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon for a detailed examination to discuss all possible treatment options and what your expectations are.

Gary M. Horndeski, MD · Answer

You are an excellent candidate for a new technique called The Ultimate Breast Lift.  This technique avoids the ugly vertical scars of the boat anchor or lollipop shaped incisions.  This procedure transfers the weight of the breast to the underlying muscle to produce long term stability and relieve neck, shoulder and back pain.  The breast is reshaped to increase projection, elevated higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase cleavage.  At the same time, the larger breast can be reduced to match the opposite side.  This technique maintains nipple sensation and the ability to breast feed.  I recommend you avoid techniques that use vertical scars since they are unsightly and can widen in time.

The breast the picture show significant ptosis. Only a mastopexy will restore youthful appearance. It also gives the surgeon the opportunity to create better symmetry.

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

The larger breast can be reduced and the smaller breast lifted, or the larger breast lifted and the smaller breast augmented and lifted. Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of breast augmentations and breast lifts each year. Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

I appears as though you might need a breast lift to help improve the shape and symmetry or your breasts.  In my experience, a lollipop lift or vertical should give you a beautiful result.

Sacha Obaid, MD · Answer

Provided you are otherwise healthy, you appear to be a very good candidate for a breast augmentation with a lift to even out the size and shape of your breasts.  Good luck.

Joseph M. Perlman, MD · Answer

You are a good candidate for reduction of one breast and lift only on the other.You should wait until you stop having children,because a reduction will interrupt some of the breast glands.Since you are still pretty young , I would wait.

Israel Manon, MD · Answer

Hello,The women body has several changes during pregnancy and after giving birth is very important that you give your body time to recover, regarding your breast the recommendation for you is to wait at least 6 months to think on surgery. Your breast are on the process of not producing more milk for your baby and they adapting to that now, then you will need a breast lift to reconstruct them and to give them the young full appereance and if you want to add volume you will need to add implants.Best regards,
