Does a Breast Reduction automatically come with a lift?

Thank you for your question, typical breast reduction procedure depending on the type of incision and design, does include an uplift as part of the procedure. Please visit a board-certified plastic surgeon for in person consultation.

Thank you for the question.
Breast reduction surgery is one of the most patient pleasing operations we perform. By removing “excess” breast tissue, adipose tissue, and breast skin  this operation reduces AND lifts the breasts to a higher position on the chest wall (in other words, the breasts are "automatically" lifted when a breast reduction is performed). By doing so, patients often find improvement in neck, back, and shoulder discomfort and find it easier to form their activities of daily living and exercise. Best wishes.

This is a question that is frequently asked, and the answer can be a bit confusing!A breast reduction removes a significant amount of breast tissue, and during the operation the nipple is lifted to a higher position, so yes, a breast reduction does include a lift. However, a breast lift does not include a breast reduction. During a breast lift a small amount of breast tissue is removed in order to reposition the nipple to a higher position, and the shape of the breast is improved as well as the remaining breast tissue is tailored and repositioned to produce a "perkier" appearing breast.  Thanks for your question.
