Is a reduction a lift too?

John Philip Connors III, 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?

Yes, a breast reduction will elevate your areola and redrape your skin envelope resulting in a rejunevated and "lifted" look. Great operation in the right patient with the right surgeon!

Good luck!

A: Sagging of the breasts is corrected in a breast reduction procedure

Jeffrey Zwiren, MD

This is a frequently asked question. The principles of a breast reduction and a breast lift are similar. Each procedure repositions the nipple to a higher level. With a breast reduction breast tissue is removed. If a woman is satisfied wtih the size of her breasts but not the sagging then a lift is all that is needed. If the breasts are large and heavy then a breast reduction is indicated.
