Hi I'm 30 and a mother of 3. As you can see my boobs are destroyed in my eyes. I recently had a consultation for lipo 360 and a breast lift and the surgeon told me I would get the result in looking for (which is for my breasts to be raised and sit nice, no sag at all) with a breast reduction, he said a lift I wouldn't be satisfied with the results. I'm looking for other recommendations thanks in advance

Answer: Breast lift or Breast Reduction ? Hi, Thank you for the question. Based on your photos, you appear to be a great candidate for breast reduction surgery. During breast reduction surgery, excess breast tissue is removed, the breast is lifted and nipple/areola is typically made smaller. It is easiest to think of breast reduction as including the breast lift. Schnur Sliding Scale is a scale used by many insurance companies as a guideline for how much breast tissue should be removed in order to improve your physical symptoms. In addition, most insurances in order to approve the surgery, will require for 2-3 letters of medical necessity (from your chiropractor, primary doctor, OBGYN, Dermatologist, etc) demonstrating that your physical symptoms due to large breasts are not improving with conservative management. I suggest that you seek an in person consultation with a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon specializing in Breast Reduction surgeries to further discuss your options, specific techniques, concerns and expectations. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results. I hope this helps.Best regards, Dr. Karanetz Dr. Irena KaranetzBreast Fellowship-TrainedBoard Certified Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Breast reduction Thanks for your question! To get longest lasting results, I think that a breast reduction would be your best course of action. By reducing the areola and removing some of the extra tissue, you should get a nice, smaller, perky breast. Good luck!
