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: Bellesoma Method Unfortunately, you have not provided photographs. However, the technique I recommend is The Bellesoma Method. This will reduce and reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. The weight of the breast is transferred to the underlying pectoralis major muscle resulting in pain relief without excessive reduction. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained.

Answer: Breast Lift or Breast Reduction Thanks for your question. Without pictures it's difficult to provide a proper recommendation. That said, it depends on what your goals are. A breast lift and a breast reduction are similar surgeries in that tissue is removed to lift the breast to a higher position. The difference is that with a reduction, more tissue may be removed, leaving your with even smaller breasts. I suggest you schedule a consult for a proper evaluation. Hope this helps. Always consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Take care, Moises Salama MD, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon.

Answer: Breasts You did not state your cup size. If you are over a D, you might want to consider a reduction to come down to a more comfortable size. Otherwise, a lift could be done. Wait until you have lost your weight before doing a lift.
