Breast lift or Breast Reduction: What is the Difference?

Lift or Lighten? Understanding the Difference Between a Breast Lift and a Breast Reduction

If you're unhappy with the appearance or feel of your breasts, you're not alone, and you have options. Two popular procedures that can help are the breast lift and the breast reduction. While they may sound similar, they serve very different purposes for your body.

A breast lift focuses on repositioning the breasts. If your breasts have lost their perkiness due to aging, weight changes, or pregnancy, a lift can reshape and elevate them without significantly altering your overall size. Think of it as giving your current breasts a more youthful and elevated appearance.

In contrast, a breast reduction is intended for women who feel their breasts are too large or heavy. This procedure removes both tissue and skin to decrease size, alleviate discomfort (like back or shoulder pain), and enhance your overall proportions. Additionally, a lift is always included in a breast reduction with Dr. Michael Suzman, so you can enjoy the benefits of both! 

Dr. Suzman is skilled in performing both procedures and takes a personalized approach with every patient. Whether you want to reduce size or restore your previous contour, you’ll be in expert hands.
