I was going to make an appointment for a consult with the doctor for a breast lift and augmentation. They asked me what size I currently was. I am at 34D in Victoria’s Secret bras. I look smaller. They told me I might need a breast reduction as well which would be another thousand dollars. I’ve never heard of needing a breast reduction when getting a breast lift and implants. I have tried to do some research but cannot find anything. Is this a thing or are they just trying to get more money?
Answer: Surgery Some physicians will recommend a reduction with implants for some women. However, you can choose to go with smaller implants and avoid the reduction if you want. If you do not like what the surgeon suggested, perhaps meet with another for another opinion. The purpose of implants is to give more upper breast fullness when a reduction is proposed. Yes, the reduction will be an additional fee and OR time.

Answer: Reduction Versus Lift Versus Augmentation You ask a good question and one that I hear frequently from a different perceptive. While I can't speak to the intentions of those you received a consultation from, what each procedure means is a common question that can be clarified like this:

Answer: Lift and implants If you are wanting more volume and to correct sagging, typically a reduction is not necessary. I encourage you to visit with a few board certified plastic surgeons near you to hear varying opinions. Bra cup size varies by manufacturer and is used as a general guide to help with breast size estimation.
