Breast reduction vs breast lift

Like the other PS here, the question seems to be lift vs. reduction. You don't like the sagging, but without pics or exam in person, it's hard to say. if you like your SIZE then just a lift is needed. You can opt for a mild reduction if you feel you are a tad too large. You would be best to know that answer. However, one important piece of info to know is whether or not you want more children? At 20 years old, it's common to have another child. If so, i would WAIT and not have any... more

Breast reduction or lift?

The two major questions to ask are: 1. Why are you considering this? 2. Do you like the volume of your breasts and just not the position or are they too large? 1. You should decide to do this for yourself for personal reasons and not to compare yourself to others. 2. If you like the size/volume of breast tissue you currently have, then a breast lift or 'mastopexy' would be what I would recommend. If your breasts are too large and heavy and cause pain, moisture and rashes, then you... more

Breast Lift after Pregnancy

After pregnancy, it is not uncommon for a woman's breasts to change size and shape. If you are unhappy with the appearance of your breasts, you should consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to determine the best treatment plan to achieve the aesthetic results you desire. If you are happy with the volume of your breasts but feel that they are "saggy" than a lift is most likely the appropriate procedure. A breast lift "Mastopexy" can help return your breasts to their prepregnancy state... more

Breast reduction or uplift

Hi I think what you are looking for is probably a breast lift (mastopexy) and not so much of a reduction. If you are happy with how the breats look within a well-fitting bra, you are unlikely to need a reduction. If you are happy with the overall volume, but do not like the sagginess/drooping, an uplift will be indicated. Sometimes a combination of both may be necessary.

Should I Get a Breast Reduction?

Thank you for the question. Whether or not you proceed with breast surgery will be a very personal decision that only you can make. Comparing yourself to other people will not necessarily be helpful to you. If you find that your breasts are too large or too low then you may benefit from breast reduction or breast lifting surgery. Your best bet is to meet with well experienced board-certified plastic surgeons to discuss your concerns, your goals, as well as the potential... more

Breast reduction/lift

It sounds like you like the volume but you do not like the shape. It might be appropriate for you to consider a breast lift. Best to be seen in person to properly evaluate you.

Breast reduction or breast lift, goals can be similar

There is a gray area between breast lift and breast reduction, and often the deciding factor will be the actual amount of tissue removed to reach the desired look. For many a reduction can look very much like a lift and if your breast is smaller than what you are seeing, try to compare yours to a breast lift without an implant to see others like yourself.
