I have really big breasts. Like, 38DD or maybe 40DD, depending on the bra manufacturer. I'm 30, and my breasts still look pretty good, but it's inevitable that someday they'll sag. So what's a girl to do? I don't think it's a big deal, but I've heard conflicting reports on various medical procedures.
Ok, so I COULD get implants, but that's sort of pointless since I already have big breasts, and I don't really like the thought of having anything artificial in my body. It's the main reason I hate having blood drawn or IV's put in.
I could also get a breast lift, but they seem to leave scars, I hear a lot of complaints about loss of nipple sensation, and it's not like the breasts themselves are any higher...just the nipples are.
So are there any other choices? I have decent pectoral muscles, so that won't be a helpful suggestion, and I wear supportive bras, but they won't keep the inevitable sag from happening.
I have 36DD and I'm 21. They are already sagging. I have the stretch marks on the side of them. Not noticeable but their there. I was looking into a breast lift. I like the size of them so I figured I would just put them back where they belong. Its called mastopexy.

I have almost approached my gyno about this, but I didn't want him to think I'm a weirdo. Mine are 38C. I could wear a D cup if I wanted.
I don't sleep on my back. Wear a bra, or a sports bra to bed maybe? No running!
I've noticed some changes in one small part of my breast, in my cleavage area that seems odd to me. I had my H take a look, but he can barely tell it's there. I can tell. It's almost like degeneration or something, but it is hard to see. I'm getting that checked out on my next visit. I guess it's part of getting older.
If I were you, I'd just ask my gyno. My sis got the breast lift a couple months back, but I have no idea how she's doing, scar wise and stuff.
Keep working the pecks though.

ugh... I can't wait till i have kids, and they sag even further!
do your boobs hang low
do they wobble to and fro
can you tie them in a knot
can you tie them in a bow
can yu throw them over shoulder
like a continental soldier
do your boobs hang low.
It depends on your frame and your health. Gravity gets all of us at some time! You may develop back problems at some point and want a breast reduction. Or you may never have any problems at all. Good bra support is important. There are bras with extra wide and supportive backs to help your posture. A good surgeon can hide the scars (better than stretch marks!)---but you are young yet! You probably won't need to worry about it for a long time.
I used to be a 36C. My boobs shrunk with each child I had (while pregant they were huge). I'm now a 34B and they sag. I still have the surrounding skin, but not as much breast tissue as a result of pregnancy, so there's nowhere for them to go but south. I've thought about a breastlift and a very small enhancement, but there are such great bras out there these days that make your boobies look wonderful. I just can't walk around in public with my shirt off, but I'm too old for that anyway
Mines are about a 34DD or 36D sometimes I get scared because I think they are not going to stop growing!!!! As of yet they are not saggy but I do lots of exercise for my boobies because my bf loves 'em I am sure once I have a kid they are going down though but there is nothing that a nice push up bra from Victoria’s Secret cannot solve. I do wear a lot of sports bras. My sister, who is a 36DD, and already has 2 kids has okay boobs. They do not sag much but she also exercises a lot. It runs in our mom’s side of the family to have big boobs so we can see in our surroundings what our future looks like. Personally I will not mind it because I rather have some saggy ones than none, but that’s just me.
now they're still pretty big, but not as full and some of the skin seems...i don't know how to say it....loose maybe?
gross.
i hate boobs.
hey treasa, if you're getting a procedure done, let me know and maybe we can get a "double-D-eal"...
i always wanted to have the fat sucked out of my boobs and donate it to the less fortunate. my best friend and i had a pact to do this (she was totally flat).
but i never got around to doing it...and she beat me to it. hooray silicone valley, huh?

OMG! I LOVE This thread! I have enormoboobs too, and heard from my mom (who used to have them, now has little C's) that after nursing they'd shrink. So I faithfully nursed in hopes of a peppy little pair - only to have the SOB's grow to cantelope sizes (EACH). I now sport a custom 38FF, unless I take it off, then they sit on my lap. Nips down too - like they're studying the feet or something.
I may get a reduction some day, but the thing is, I'm quite afraid of scalpels on my flesh. I want to be knocked out to get a cavity filled - I'm that kind of weenie! If they could just somehow vaccum the stuffing out without cutting the skin I'd be all over that, but I don't think that's how it's done. Yikes!

I was hoping that I'd lose breast size when I lost weight, too, but I hit my target weight and all that happened was that I went from a 44DD to a 38DD, occasionally a 36DD. It's frustrating. I remember being a fairly slender 5th grader, with 34D breasts, and being called tornado tits by the boys in my class. How humiliating! I also got called jailbait....by my own mother, no less!
New_Wife, I'm so sorry, but ROFL. I refuse to have children now, because my mom went from a C cup to a D cup, that has since stayed, since she had me! I don't want to go shopping for bras in the tent section.
I agree with y'all about exercising, which I do, but I might still look into a breast lift if things start to head south.

When I was a kid I was embarrassed to hang out with boys because I was so self conscience. Not that I had them that big when I was a kid but it was a difference for me.
My mom would tell us that she went from being a DD to a C after she had me. It might be different with everyone but my sister's also don't seem as big after she had my niece. She is actually going to get a breast reduction...well....now she's thinking about it.
