What is Wrong with my Breasts? They seems deflated even though I'm 26 with no kids and no major weight gain/loss. (photo)

There is absolutely nothing wrong with your breasts. You simply may not have as much volume as you desire. Many women's breasts have a fair degree of mobility. Further, I have never met a female patient with perfectly symmetrical breasts. I think you need to figure out what bothers  you most, and then we can help to educate about exactly which procedure will benefit you most.

Your breasts are too widely spaced, have inadequate volume and have increased skin envelope.  You would benefit from a new technique called Breast Augmentation with Mini Ultimate Breast Lift.  This technique would elevate your breasts higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage and reshape them creating upper pole fullness.  At the same time, an implant can be placed.  Aligning the areola, breast tissue and implant over the bony prominence of the chest wall gives maximum anterior projection with a minimal size implant.  Small silicone implants placed retro-pectoral look and feel more natural, are more stable long term and less likely to ripple.

You basically have loose tissue and skin of your breasts which would benefit from straightforward breast augmentation.  Because you have looseness of the tissue you may need a lift done at a later time especially after you have kids.  One warning, if you get implants don't let them talk you into large implants. Nothing over 400 cc's, otherwise they will sag faster.

There's nothing wrong with your breasts. They appear to be slightly deflated which can be easily fixed by a small breast implant.

     The short answer is nothing.  The skin envelope can be tightened nicely with an implant.  Creative pocket dissection can create the illusion of a smaller gap between the breasts.  Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of breast augmentations 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

Dear Melissa,

First off, breast assymmetry is quite common, you also seem to have a slight chest wall ( bony) differential which also is common.  Proper breast augmentation likely with placement of silicone implants under the muscle will give you great results. An evaluation with a board certified plastic surgeon with Vectra 3D simulation will be very helpful to discuss what you'd look like after surgery. Best of luck. 

Melissa, repeating again what you already know, breasts are glands within an envelope of skin, and are derived (develop as) organs of the skin.  Determinants of breast size and shape are manifold, including genetics, age, hormonal influence, weight, skin elasticity, menstrual cycle, pregnancy, rib/chest anatomy, and others.  There is an extremely wide variation of normal breast morphology (form).  That being said, YES, implants, properly selected and skillfully placed under safe conditions would very likely "solve these issues."

Don't worry, there really is not much "wrong" with your breast.  You fall within the range of "normal."  Breast augmentation will make a nice difference by adding volume to your breasts and giving them a more youthful and full shape.  

 

Good Luck.

The main issue is that you do not have enough volume to fill up the skin envelope.  Implants would make a nice cosmetic improvement for you.

From your photos, it doesn't appear that you have anything "wrong" with your breasts.  It looks like you have skin laxity and not enough volume to fill them up.  You are a good candidate for a breast augmentation!  Definitely see a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options after an in-person consultation. ac
