Hello! I kinda have the same problem and I'm 13 aswell my boobs are a 32 B and their a bit saggy. But I don't worry too much because your still young and have lots of time to develop and your also still developing in other parts of your body. No you can not go to a plastic surgeon because you are too young and it may affect development if you have a surgery that young. The youngest you can get plastic surgery is at the very least 16 or 18.

I get a kind of mad seeing all of these answers, because I think most of the people who are answering this don't have this problem themselves. I do, I'm 13 years old too, so I know what it feels like.
The thing is, we know it's perfectly fine to have boobs like that, it's just not pretty. I can't EVER go braless, because you can see my breast shape through. I don't wear bathing suits unless they have tons of padding to cover my boobs up. I'm almost done with the first year on my new school. I've NEVER showered or changed in gym in front of them, because my boobs are horrible. The only one who gets to see me naked is my twin sister, that I share a double bed with. And I sleep topless. My two best friends have perfect, perky teenage girl boobs, what do I have? These sausages hanging on my ribs. I know there's many other women and girls that have boobs like that, it's just stopping me from feeling okay and wearing the kind of clothes I want to wear. And a breast lift is not anything where you have to open the actual breast and move around there. You lift the skin, which can be done on anybody, no matter what age. I know a plastic surgeon won't do it on a 13 year old, so I'm just going to hide for the next 2 years and see if someone will do it when I'm fifteen.

At 13 years old I find it hard to believe that you would need a breast lift. There must be some sort of exercises you can do to strengthen the muscles of your breasts. What I would suggest is you talk to A Doctor possibly a plastic surgeon to see if that's what you need to do.
Once again a breast lift is plastic surgery. Plastic surgeons are very reluctant to do any type of body sculpting or plastic surgery on someone under 18 years of age. Again this is an elective surgery not covered by insurance. A good breast lift done by a certified plastic surgeon starts at about $10,000 so when you were 18 and if you really need this that's the amount of money you will need to get this type of surgery.
In the meantime what I would suggest is you go to department store such as Macy's and get fitted for a proper bra. Most women have never been properly fitted for their the bra they wear. Call the store and find out when their fitter is going to be there make an appointment go in and get fitted for a bra that properly fits you. The fitter will show you how to adjust the bra properly so that it wears right and gives you propper support. Properly fitting bra and exercise may correct this problem without surgery.

You are facing an issue that lots of other people face for entirely different reasons. Doctors will not do anything that involves any kind of augmenting, plastic surgery or sex change surgeries and treatments.
The teens who are transgender, feel they are living in the wrong body and want to be the other sex, have complained too about not being able to get any doctor to do the changes for them until they are done growing. That makes it awkward going through puberty for them, and for whatever reasons you have, self image or what, I am sure you feel awkward too.
The best you can do is tell mom cus the parents would have to be paying for it, make an appointment to see the family doctor and get a referral to a specialist who can then discuss a plan, the cost, and a good guess at what age they would be able to do any breast lift if you still want it then, and liposuction or whatever else. If you are not happy with your total appearance including weight, ask Dr. about what changes you can do in diet, what kinds of exercise may help some for now. I don't personally think that Dr intervention or surgery should be ones first choice. In fact most doctors with the AMA, Amer. Medical Asso. are quite conservative and will try other things first before doing surgery.
Just for the heck of it, I will include a link of what is considered the wide range of natural looking breasts and nipples. It is done by women for females so that we can know that we are not abnormal and that what we have on top is okay. Here is the link:

Your question made me sad. No matter what size breasts are or if they sag or droop it's normal. They come in all shapes and sizes. Your body is fine and beautiful and you shouldn't think otherwise or that yours is inadequate. You need to learn that. It's important to self-esteem to have a healthy view of your body.
Secondly, you are still developing at 13-years-old in a constantly changing body that will by the time you are 18 be an adult body. Cup size, shape can change during this time.
The poster below is right that a plastic surgeon would be reluctant to treat you at your age and the fact you are still developing.
They couldn't and wouldn't do an augmentation on a child. The only time they may help is if breasts were grossly out of proportion for a person's body and were causing them pain in some fashion. I've heard of people with that.
You need to realize you have nothing to feel embarrassed by and to learn to be comfortable with your body even though some changes are awkward right now to handle. If you have concerns about anything you wrote us about talk to an older female be it a parent, aunt, friend's parent or trusted person about it. They'll reiterate what I said but also let you know that this is normal. You could use that.

My guess, since I'm no doctor, would be that you would be too young to undergo such a procedure for two reasons... the first is your obvious age and you being young and the second is, which is actually directly related to the first, is that your body is still in the development stage with you being in your early teens. It has a while to go before it matures and as such, your body will go through some changes up until then and so having a serious procedure like the kind you are looking at would not only be unwise but would also be morally objectionable unless there is a specific medical reason for the surgery/procedure.
If you are concerned about any aspect of your body you should try having a chat with your doctor/GP about this or perhaps even your mom and see what advise they can offer you. But for now I would say not to worry about it at all - you have a while to go yet and your body will go through various changes yet and your boobs may be affected by these changes.
