Breast Reduction without implants "tethering" question

January 12, 2021
Asked By:Intellectual1274 in Chicago, IL

I'm thinking of going down from a DD to maybe an A cup. I was wondering if it is standard practice to tether the breast to the rib's facia? Do all surgeons do this? If so, then how many spots get tethered? It makes sense to do this so the breasts don't sag again. I'm just not sure if this is how a reduction is done or not as I'm still looking into the procedure.
