Reduction, Lift, or Both? How We Determine What’s Best for You

If you’re torn between getting a breast reduction or a breast lift, or even contemplating getting both, this article could help you decide what is best for you.

Breast Reduction or Breast Lift: How to Choose the Best Option for You?

Things such as weightloss and weightgain, pregnancy and breastfeeding, can cause your breasts to change over time, causing them to sag. As a result, you may be thinking about getting breast reduction surgery or a breast lift. But before deciding on a procedure, you should consider factors such as your body’s physical structure and the aesthetic outcome you’re aiming for.

Questions to Ask Yourself When Thinking About Having a Breast Reduction

If you’re thinking about having a breast reduction, one of the first questions you’ll want to ask yourself is whether the size of your breasts is the main issue for you.
Many women who choose to have breast reduction do so because they find that their large breasts restrict their lifestyle in multiple ways. For example, you might find that:
  • Your breasts are noticeably larger than the rest of your body, leading to a disproportionate appearance.
  • The weight of your breasts makes it difficult to maintain proper posture, leading to slouching or hunching.
  • You experience persistent neck or back pain, which could be a result of the extra weight you’re carrying in your breasts.
  • Physical activities, including exercise and even simple daily tasks, become limited or uncomfortable due to the size of your breasts.
  • You are prone to developing skin issues such as rashes or infections in the creases under your breasts.
Large breasts don’t just limit you physically, but they can also restrict your wardrobe choices. You might find that clothes don’t fit well or look unflattering because of your breast size.
Breast reduction involves removing excess breast tissue to reduce the size and weight of your breasts. This often includes removing excess skin and fat to give your breasts a more balanced, aesthetically pleasing shape.

Questions to Ask Yourself When Thinking about Having a Breast Lift Procedure

If you’re happy with the size and volume of your breasts, but unhappy with their shape or position, a breast lift might be the better choice for you.
If you have noticed changes to your breasts following pregnancy or breastfeeding, or changes associated with ageing, such as loss of elasticity, a breast lift procedure can help create a more youthful, lifted look.
Here are some indicators that you are a suitable candidate for a breast lift procedure:
  • Your nipples are pointing downwards instead of forward.
  • The majority of your breast tissue sits below the natural crease line under the breast.
A breast lift procedure aims to reshape and lift sagging or drooping breasts. This involves elevating the nipple and areola and removing excess skin from the breast area. The objective is not to change the size of the breasts, but to make them firmer and lifted, creating a more youthful appearance and an improved overall physique.

Breast Reduction and Breast Lift: Should You Consider Both Procedures?

Whether having both a breast reduction and a breast lift procedure is a good choice for you depends on what your goals and concerns are.  If you’re looking to reduce overall size and achieve a perkier, more youthful look, a combined breast reduction and breast lift may be the best solution for you.
Sometimes, a breast reduction alone might not offer the lift and reshaping that you want. In this case, combining the two procedures could give you the results you’re looking for.
Consulting with one of our specialist surgeons will help you make a clearer decision on which procedure, if not a combined procedure, is best for you.
