Teen Breast Reductio: Large breasts in teenagers can be troubling. In addition to back, neck, and shoulder pain, young women may suffer emotionally. Although I have performed breast reductions in teenagers, you must realize that there is a possibility your breasts will continue to enlarge, and you may desire another breast reduction in the future. Meet with a board certified plastic surgeon to find out more!

Lift vs Implants: A breast lift (mastopexy) is used to reshape the breast and make it appear youthful. The nipple is raised to a higher position and the droopiness (ptosis) of the breast is corrected. Implants enlarge the breast and the resulting nipple location is changed very little. Additionally, an implant can provide longer lasting upper pole breast fullness which a mastopexy cannot achieve. Dr-cooper.Com.

Breast Lift TIming: The best time in life to undergo a breast lift is after you are finished having children. Pregnancy and breast feeding can dramatically alter the breast shape. Additionally, it is best to be at a stable weight because gaining or losing a lot of weight can also affect the size and shape of your breasts.
