I always had quite perky breasts growing up and in my earlier twenties, but now at 25 with no children i’ve noticed my breasts are sagging and there is a significant difference in symmetry - one has sagged much more than the other and sits a lot lower on my chest. Please advise.
Answer: Asymmetry Dear Thriving862337, based on your photo, it looks like you have a significant asymmetry and you will probably need reduction of larger breast in order to make them symmetrical. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Answer: Breast Lift, Breast Augmentation, Breast Reduction, Breast Implant Dear Thriving862337, Thank you for your question about whether a breast lift is appropriate for addressing asymmetry at 25 years old, without having children. Breast Lift for Asymmetry: If breast asymmetry is a concern for you, a breast lift (mastopexy) can be an effective solution. Types of Breast Lifts Suitable for You: 360° Peri-Areolar Mastopexy or Lollipop Mastopexy are recommended options, especially if you prefer not to have breast implants. Both involve an incision around the areola and removal of some skin to lift and equalize the breasts. In summary, a breast lift can be a viable option to correct asymmetry at your age. It’s important to consult with a plastic surgeon to determine the best approach for your specific needs. Wishing you the best in making your decision. Sincerely, Dr. Katzen

Answer: Breast lift on both sides Hello, You have good volume on your breasts. In this case I would recommend a breast uplift without implant on both sides. you have at least 3 cm of difference on nipple levels and that can be corrected during the lift as well as the volume. An inverted-T with a short horizontal scar looks appropriate.

Answer: Breast asymmetry Hello, This is a great question. I do see what concerns you, from your photos. Please keep in mind that this is normal, and many individuals have a discrepancy in breast size! You may opt to have a breast lift to symmetrize the breasts, as well as address the concerns of sagginess. As always, an in-office consultation is required to really examine your breasts and your own unique anatomy, as well as discuss the procedure and any questions you may have. Best,Dr. Tanovic

Answer: Do I need a breast lift? In person exam is essential as well as review of photos- all views. Based on limited photos- it appears that you would benefit from a breast lift with slight reduction on a larger side to balance out the asymmetry. I suggest that you seek an experienced Board Certified PS
