When having a breast lift, is any breast tissue removed?

Sometimes breast tissue is removed to help achieve and maintain the desired shape and/or to correct asymmetries. Usually patients feel that their breasts are smaller because they are more "compact" after surgery. The folded under tissue just gives the breasts projection in the correct place.

Hello,  tissue can be removed from one or both breasts during a lift (for example, to correct asymmetry) but generally only a layer of skin is removed.  The overall amount of tissue stays nearly the same.  Remodelling the breast mound by folding tissue under the breast just changes the shape but does not make the breast larger.
