Are a breast reduction and a breast lift pretty much the same thing?

Question

But if I get a reduction won't the doctor have to lift them up anyway? I'm trying to decide which will be the most effective and economical. I can't afford both.

I guess the lifting is what I really want but at the same time I believe if I hadn't been so large in the first place I wouldn't need a lift. In other words, even if I get the lift, if they are the same size, they will eventually sag again in the furture. So maybe I should get the reduction? I'm only a 36D but after breast feeding 3 kids, I'm not perky anymore.

Answer 1

You know you can get insurance to cover your reduction, right? If you have health issues because of your breasts they will cover it. Mine covered mine 100% and I did not need documentation.

99.9% of the time a lift is included in a reduction. The other 0.1% is just Plastic surgeons looking for more money from you IMO.

A reduction only takes out tissue, whereas a lift LIFTs them up and makes them perkier.

Answer 2

a breast reduction is for women with really large breast who have problems (back pain etc.) because of them, and a breast lift is for women who have lost shape or "perkiness" due to age/gravity or after having kids to restore them to their "glory days" lol

Answer 3

Nooo....reduction is generally done for women who have too much to the point it gives them back problems. Look up the definitions of "reduction" and "lift."

Answer 4

No! Reduction is making them smaller and lift is making them so they don't sag! Like if u wore a push up bra! :-P

Answer 5

lol. no.
a reduction is reducing(making smaller) your breasts.
a lift is lifting them to where they don't sag.
