Hello, my insurance recently approved a breast reduction for my 34G breasts. However, when I asked about a lift only, my surgeon said it was not possible due to the length of my breasts (grade 3 ptosis, R&L SN-N 33 cm, R&L base 15 cm). Insurance approved 600 grams, but I worry that may be too much. Is it not possible to do a lift only/small reduction on breasts my size/length?
Answer: Breast Reduction Candidacy Thank you for your question.

Answer: Breast lift vs. reduction It you are expecting insurance to cover expences of your surgery, you will have to accept minimum breast reduction of 600 gr. per breast. For G size breasts, that does not seem to be too much. Have in mind that any lift done on large breasts like yours is not going to be of long duration and your breast tissue will descend due to gravity. This is an issue that you have to discuss in detail with a board certified plastic surgeon ahead of surgery. Good luck.

Answer: Bellesoma Method The technique I recommend is The Bellesoma Method. This will reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained.

Answer: Breast lift for large breasts It may be possible to have a lift without a reduction, but the results may not be optimal due to the weight of the breast tissue. If you are not wanting to remove 600 grams you may want to consider a reduction but with less tissue. Be aware that this may not be covered by insurance.
