I am struggling to figure out if I should get a breast reduction, breast lift, or both. For the first time in my life I am overweight since menopause (BMI 33.1), but a year before menopause, when I was BMI 24.9, I started to have rash issues under my breasts. I have always been busty. Once I got through meno, the rashes became chronic due to skin changes(sagging). I am trying to figure out what would be best in the long run for comfort and lift. Before surgery, I plan to lose weight.

Answer: Breast lift or Breast reduction for a postmenopausal woman? Hello @jeannacthompson, thank you for your question. When making the surgical plan all aspects are taken into account, including future aspects. Through a proper surgical technique you can obtain an anatomical and aesthetic shape that allows you to have volume and aesthetic symmetry. For more information and recommendations it is best to consult with one or several board certified plastic surgeons. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.

Answer: Breast lift or Breast reduction Dear jeannacthompson, it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.
