Saggy and scarless or pert with scars

I don’t know anyone irl who has had a breast uplift. I’m currently a 32GG. I could lose a bit of weight but not enough to affect my breasts. I cannot leave the house without a bra. I’ve had spinal surgery and they put great strain on my back. They point south and are not far from my belly button. But, the worst part is in this warm weather, it’s horrid but the sweat that comes from underneath. I feel awful. However, I think what upset me is I confided in my mum and a friend i wanted to have a reduction and uplift, and they just went on about how badly scarred I’d be and that would be worse than the position I’m in now.

If anyone has had one could you tell me the pros and cons please.

I don’t think you’d be ‘badly scarred’. Ok yes initially until it’s healed it might be a bit red. My friend had a reduction years while ago and has no visible scars. I had open heart surgery in my 30s so have an unsightly scar with an unsightly piece of tissue at the top, it’s only a body. If you want surgery because it’s causing you serious discomfort you should do what you want to do.

It sounds to me as though any scarring would be worth it.
