I'm 18F, no children, and I've always been very dissatisfied with my breasts. I believe that they're each in different stages of ptosis, with my right breast sagging the most. I'm very insecure about not looking like most other girls my age.
Answer: Tuberous breasts Dear 4r1, tuberous breasts are not simply small or underdeveloped breasts. The appearance of the breast can range from mild to severe, and typical traits include: enlarged, puffy areola, rather wide spacing between the breasts, very little breast tissue, sagging, higher than normal inferior breast fold, and narrow base at the chest wall.The type of surgery best for you will depend on the severity of your condition.My preferred technique for tuberous breast correction involves a multistep procedure where the breast tissue is released in a radial pattern to prevent herniation into the areola and placement of a custom implant size is in the breast to allow appropriate expansion of the breast in the restricted dimensions. This can often be done in a single procedure but sometimes may require two surgeries.That said, it is best that you visit a board-certified plastic surgeon for an in person examination. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Answer: Would I qualify for a breast lift without implants? Hello @O4r1, thank you for your question. It is possible to reposition and improve the shape of the breast with minimal scarring by raising the base and improving the overall proportion. This will create overall harmony. The lift will be made through an L shape incision scar rather than an anchor and this allows me to reposition the mammary tissue and enhance projection of the upper pole and media areas. A consultation is vital to establishing a surgical plan that meets your needs, meets your expectations, and takes into account what is possible. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.

Answer: Would depend on your goals of size and shape It may be that a breast lift would be adequate for you to achieve your desired result. a formal consultation would likely be required to come to a decision with your surgeon. It would depend on how large you wish to be, and what is reasonable to expect based on examination findings.

Answer: Pseudoptosis Hello ! Based on your pictures, it could be pseudoptosis. Sometimes, implants alone can replace the lost volume but a mastopexy can treat it effectively. A “in person” exam would be necessary. It is best to consult with a skilled board certified surgeon for the best results. Best of luck !
