Breast Reduction vs. Breast Lift

Most people who are interested in having some work done on their breasts are not aware of the differences between breast reductions and breast lifts. Thus, they have no idea which one would be best for them. Of course, every procedure carries its own set of benefits, so we’re going to break each down to help you choose which you would be most comfortable with.

Breast Reduction

If you are looking to reduce the weight or volume of your breast tissue, then a reduction is probably best for you. Too much breast tissue can cause several complications, such as back pain, stress on the spine, and poor posture.

On top of helping to prevent or ease these issues, breast reductions can help change the shape of your breasts. Say, perhaps, that one breast is larger than the other or a different shape, Dr. Ginsburg is capable of evening them out with this procedure.

The best candidates for a best reduction are patients who feel as though their breasts are too heavy or are not proportional to their body size. Patients who experience this also often find themselves limiting the clothing they wear due to their breast size and feel that wearing a bra can be a battle.

Breast Lift

While a breast reduction can help in changing the shape of your breasts as well as their size, a breast lift is aimed at changing their shape while maintaining the same size. Breast sag is a common issue amongst our patients and is nothing to be ashamed of, especially since it can be fixed. If you’re looking to increase the perkiness, firmness, and height of your breasts, this procedure could be a great option for you.

A breast lift can also accomplish the medical benefits of better posture and back pain relief without decreasing the size of the breasts. It is best chosen by patients who feel that their areolae are not even in position or sit too low, or for those who have excess skin perhaps caused by pregnancy.

Both procedures can help you achieve the body you’ve always dreamed of, just leave it up to Dr. Ginsburg and the rest of our office staff to help get you there. If you are interested in making an appointment or have any further questions, schedule your free consultation now.
