Can I get a breast reduction without a lift?

Thank you for your question.  I have not had a patient ask for a reduction without a lift, but, yes it is possible.  You may have seen some poor outcomes.  Generally speaking patients are thrilled with the look of a smaller and perkier breast.  I would recommend starting with a face to face consult with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who has experience in breast surgery. During your visit your surgeon should be evaluating your health to determine if you are a good surgical candidate and examining your tissues to get a sense of what type of procedure your tissues will allow. They should be able to provide examples of their work.  Only with a hands on exam can this be determined. Once an exam and opinion is rendered then you can decide if surgery is right for you. Good luck.

in relation to your mound, a 'lift' is part of the reduction.  You can direct your surgeon to leave your nipples on the low side if you fear they will be too high after the procedure,.  Continue with weight loss and see more than one surgeon to help you through this and choose whom you like the best.
