Is A Lift Included In A Breast Reduction?
Breast reduction and breast lift surgery are exceptionally similar procedures. They involve nearly identical incisions and techniques in many cases. So, if you undergo a breast reduction, are the breasts automatically lifted? Ultimately, the two are separate procedures, albeit often combined. Let’s take a closer look at the question, “Is a lift included in a breast reduction?”
To an extent, during a breast reduction, the breasts are automatically lifted. However, that does not mean your surgeon performed a breast lift as well. The extra skin and tissue can cause the breasts to sag naturally. When this is removed and the breasts made proportionate again, this often results in the breasts looking lifted simply because much of the weight dragging them down is gone.
That said, when a breast lift is performed, the breasts are also typically somewhat reduced. However, it is much less than when the main focus is reduction. Therefore, a breast lift is not so much included in a breast reduction, but rather a side effect of it.
