Q: Will Breast Lift decrease the volume of a breast? asked by Eva A Virginia Beach, VA

A:

Both a breast lift (mastopexy) and a breast reduction (reduction mammoplasty) will decrease the extra amount of skin of the breast which will lift the breasts higher on the chest wall and place the nipple back to its correct position.  The choice of which procedure to use depends on the patients body and breast characteristics.  The goal is to achieve youthful symmetric breasts that fit your body appropriately.  This may mean that one breast would undergo no reduction of breast tissue while the other may need to be reduced slightly to achieve symmetry.  Your plastic surgeon will need to perform a physical examination to provide you with his/her best recommendation.
