Do You Have to Have Breast Tissue Removed when Getting a Breast Lift?

If you are happy with the current cup size, a lift can be done by removing skin only. I prefer a vertical breast lift with a medial-superior pedicle, but the inferior pole breast tissue I use for autoaugmentation to increase projection further. If you surgeon does an anchor type skin incision, he/she needs to remove some breast tissue from the lateral and medial inferior aspect of the breast for shaping and allowing to close the skin incision. This is not necessary with a vertical lift. Good luck.

A breast lift may have some tissue removed depending on the gemetry of the breast itself.  Technically speaking a breast lift with removal of tissue is a breast reduction.  There are circumstances where a breast lift may need some removal to create more symmetry!

Hope this helps
