Breast reduction usually involves a lift too

Francisco Canales, MD answers: Breast reduction and lift

Do I need to have a combination of both to acheive a lifted breast? Or if I do the breast reduction, will that give me a lift in my breasts?

Most breast reduction techniques involve not only removing breast tissue but also repositioning the nipple to a more aesthetic (and higher) location.  If you are having reduction by Liposuction only then the position of the nipple will not improve, but may actually be worse.  Discuss it with your surgeon and ask exactly where the incisions will be.
