important to consult a board certified plastic surgeon with experience in this

Thank you for your question and photo.

You are the ideal candidate for the Ultimate Breast List technique. The UBL lifts and successfully reshapes the female breast to a more youthful, perky appearance without the need of breast implants for upper pole fullness. The areola is never separated and most of the lactating ducts are never disturbed, making breastfeeding possible.  A vertical scar is never needed, so scarring is minimal. Do your research. This is a great start.

Kind regards,

A breast lift and a breast reduction have similar goals.  In both, the object is to elevate the nipple/areola on the breast while tightening the "sling" of skin below the areola, thus giving a perkier look to the breast.  In a breast reduction, there is one additional goal - to remove excess breast tissue.  Insurance companies tend to cover breast reductions which they see as a functional problem.  They do not cover breast lifts which they perceive as cosmetic.  You did not mention what cup size you are currently or what cup size you might like to be.  From your picture, it looks as thought you would benefit from a breast reduction, but whether or not enough tissue would be removed to qualify for insurance coverage is difficult to tell from your pictures.  Also, if you want to remain large-breasted then a lift with only a slight reduction (not covered by insurance) might be the answer.
