My breasts grow downwards - what is the best option? (photos)

B
breastquestion1Dec 13, 2015

I am 20 year old, never had children or fluctuated in weight. My breasts don't sag, they have been growing downwards ever since puberty. I have no excess skin. What are my options? -I want to keep the volume I currently have (E/F cup) -I don't want implants -Would it be possible to just lift my nipples?

This is a fairly common problem and usually stops by about three months. It is probably and absorbable suture. It probably wouldn't hurt to pull on it with forceps, and if it doesn't easily come out, you should get in contact with your plastic surgeon who could easily remove it.
