Can a breast lift be done without reduction on H cup breasts?

The other doctor that you saw is correct. The skin of your breasts has already stretched out and sagged due to the weight of your breasts. If the only procedure that’s performed is a breast lift, your tissues will stretch out again because the weight of your breast has not been reduced and your skin has already demonstrated to you that it can’t hold that weight up. A breast reduction will give you several benefits: better symmetry, correction of ptosis and less chance of recurrence. Best wishes.

Dear Bright406496,
it is possible to perform breast lift without reduction. My preferred lift is a lollipop lift when a periareolar won't do (ie greater than 2cm lift required). The lollipop technique was created by a Canadian plastic surgeon named Elizabeth Hall-Findley and treats the breast as a three dimensional structure instead of two dimensions (anchor - lift). Most importantly it does not require the horizontal component scars that the anchor-lift requires and breasts appear much more natural, lifted, and less boxy. Lastly, the lift lasts longer because the lollipop doesn't rely on the skin to hold the breast up, its actually breast tissue thats being brought together to support the breast and hence improves longevity.

Thank you for your question. A breast lift can be done without needing a reduction. However, on large breasts, the weight of the breast tissue may affect the long-term results of a breast lift without reduction. If the breast tissue is not decreased during the lift, the sagging might happen again. The surgeon's plan may depend on your anatomy, the desired outcome, and experience level. Thus, a thorough consultation with a board-certified surgeon is necessary.
