A breast lift reshapes the breast tissue to make the breasts perkier. It doesn’t target the pectoral muscle, therefore there wouldn't be any impact on their function. A breast augmentation, on the other hand, could involve manipulation of the pectorals when creating a pocket for the implant.
If interested, I recommend an in person consultation with a plastic surgeon to discuss your goals and be measured. After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements. They also get to see what they would look like when the breasts have fully dropped and fluffed and in clothes. You get to see actual results and the surgeon's experience and not a virtual idea of what can be achieved. Women tell me that this process is very helpful in determining what is right for them.
