29, no kids. Considering doing a breast lift - what are my best options? (Photos)

Question

Hi! Im 29 years old, never had kids, and considering doing a breast lift to improve some sagging. It’s not an Extreme case, but I feel like my low hanging breasts makes my chest look long. I want perkier and more firm boobs, but without too much scarring. The anchor lift and lollipop lift in my opinion gives too big of a scar, so I’ve been thinking about the donut/areolar lift. I’ve also seen that you can do bodytite for the breasts. I don’t mind them getting smaller but i do Not want them bigger, so No implants here. Any suggestions or ideas? Or should I wait till the example after having kids etc., even though im not planning on having them anytime soon.

Hello and thank you for posting. I love the Donut Lift! It’s not for everyone but it’s a great option for Grade 1 Breast Ptosis which you seem to have. Both the lollipop lift and the anchor lift have larger scars so they can produce more of a lift then the Donut Lift, but I don’t think you need that much of a lift…… especially if you don’t want the extra scars and/or if you don’t want implants. PLUS, a donut lift doesn’t touch the glandular tissue, so there will definitely be no issue with breast feeding in the future. 
Just understand that it is very hard to correct asymmetries with the Donut Lift and the results wont be so dramatic. It tightens the breast around the areola and lifts the breast and areola by removing the skin around and especially above it. The end result will look similar (but better) to the side by side foto on the right where your arms are open. I feel this is more than enough in your case!

Best of luck,

The breast lift technique I recommend is The Bellesoma Method.  This will reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage.  Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained.  Later, fat transfers can be performed if additional volume is desired.

Best Wishes,

A breast lift will achieve the look with your arms up in the air, or off to the sides. In addition, the areola could be downsized if you choose.  The lift comes with permanent scarring and only you can decide if the new look is worth this scar (usually a  tennis racket or lollipop shaped scar is done).

If you get pregnant in the future, and your breast enlarges or you decide to breast feed, you can expect the lift to be at least partially undone.  I typically reserve breast lift for patients who are very unhappy with their size or shape.  They never have regrets !
