I’m female, about 5’6, around 160 lbs and Afro Canadian. So I’m happy with the shape of my breast. I would just prefer them to be more firm and higher up so it’s easier to do things specifically exercise. So would you recommend a breast lift or still a breast ?

Answer: Breast Lift or Reduction: Which is Right for You? Hello Tealdove02, Thank you for your question about choosing between a breast lift and a breast reduction. It's great to hear that you're content with the shape of your breasts and are primarily looking for a solution that allows for more comfort during activities like exercise. To clarify, all breast reduction surgeries inherently include a lift. The procedure not only reduces the size of the breasts but also lifts and reshapes them. However, if you are satisfied with the size of your breasts and your primary goal is to have them firmer and positioned higher, a breast lift (mastopexy) might be the more appropriate choice for you. A breast lift focuses on repositioning and reshaping the existing breast tissue without significantly altering the overall size. This procedure is effective for addressing sagging and can provide the firmer, more uplifted appearance you're seeking, which can make physical activities more comfortable. That being said, it's crucial to have a detailed consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon. During your consultation, you can talk about your aesthetic goals and get professional advice on which procedure would best meet your needs. The surgeon can provide you with a clear understanding of the expected results, helping you make an informed decision. Sincerely, Dr. Katzen

Answer: Breasts You did not post photo, so I cannot be specific. You also did not state if you like your size. If you are happy with your size, then do the lift. If you want to be smaller, then do the reduction.

Answer: Considering options When considering a reduction (which includes a lift) versus a lift with no reduction you will want to determine if the size of your breasts is interfering with your lifestyle. A lift will remove excess skin and raise the position of the nipple, but the volume will be the same, although it may appear a bit smaller. The best place to begin is a visit to a board certified plastic surgeon near you to discuss your concerns and learn more about the procedures. One option may be a lift with auto augmentation which uses your own tissue to create more upper pole fullness. I've included a video that I hope you find helpful.

Answer: Breast lift versus reduction Hello. From reading what you have written, it sounds to me that a lift is what you are looking for since you are happy with the shape of your breast. A reduction would remove both breast tissue and skin which would make your breast smaller. A lift removes just skin and assists in lifting the breast to a new position. Your breast will also feel firmer from the skin removal as well. My advice would be to have an in-person consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon for a more in-depth assessment. Good luck.
