These two are different cosmetic surgical procedures undertaken for the restoration of the appearance and functionality of the breasts. A short overview of each is presented below.
Breast Lift (Mastopexy)
Objective: The Sagging breasts are elevated and firmed up for giving a better shape and position to the breasts.
Methods
Incision Techniques: The incisions are made around the areola, vertically down to the fold of the breast, or sometimes in an anchor shape around the areola and along the fold of the breast, depending on the degree of sagging.
Skin Removal: Excess skin is being removed and the remaining skin is tightened.
Repositioning: Nipples and areolas are repositioned upward in a more youthful location.
Shaping: The breast tissue is reshaped to provide a firmer and higher elevation of the breasts.
Benefits
More desirable and higher-placed breast shape.
More youthful and symmetrical appearance.
Considerations
Ideal for those whose breasts have sagged or drooped due to pregnancy, weight increase, or aging.
Does not alter the size of the breasts as much.
Breast Reduction
Objective: To reduce the size and volume of the breasts to alleviate physical discomfort and offer a better proportion and appearance.
Methods
Incision Techniques: Reduction surgery generally involves incisions around the areola, vertically down to the fold of the breast, and along the fold itself. The specific technique used may vary depending upon the amount of reduction required.
Tissue Removal: Excess breast tissue, fat, and skin are removed.
Repositioning: Reshape the remaining tissue and elevate the nipple and areola to a higher, more appropriate location.
Benefits
Alleviates physical symptoms related to back, neck, and shoulder indentations from bra straps.
Improves overall breast contour and balance in relation to the body.
Considerations
The best candidates are those in whom very large breasts will cause discomfort or low self-esteem.
Breast reduction may affect future breastfeeding and/or sensation of the nipple-areola complex.
Combined Procedures
Goal: To address both excessive volume and drooping in single surgery.
Method
Integration: Lifting can be combined with reduction in a patient who desires reduction in the size of her breasts, along with restoration of elevation and reshaping of the breasts.
Considerations
A consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon is important to determine the best approach and to discuss goals, anatomy, and potential risks.
Recovery time can vary but often consists of some swelling and bruising, with a gradual return to normal activities.
Both aim at comfort and the consequent aesthetics, though they appeal to different concerns. A consultation with a qualified surgeon will best determine which procedure or combination of procedures will suit your needs.
