Breast reduction with implants?

Surgeons use different techniques to remove and rearrange excess breast tissue. Although the length of the breast fold scar can be shorter, the scars on the skin are typically in the same pattern but the underlying reconstruction is unique. These different techniques result in a variety of outcomes. UsIng the superior pedicle technique, I find that there is a nicer rounding of the breast and a better maintenance of the mid and upper part of the breasts. An implant is not typically placed at the same time as a reduction. This is especially the case for a surgery being covered by insurance. An implant may be added during a breast lift mastopexy only procedure. We perform full breast reductions and breast lifts under local anesthesia in the office. No general anesthesia!

Hello and thank you for your question.
It is possible to have a reduction and a placement of implants. Schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options. Best wishes!

I do a procedure called BRA, Breast Reduction Augmentation. It is possible in the right patient. My concern is that if you are a DDD and want to be a B, then you need to remove down to an A and then add the implant. That might not be possible, as there is a limit to how much tissue can be removed so as not to jeopardize blood flow to the nipple. A Plastic Surgeon can evaluate this. Insurance will not cover an implant.
