A breast reduction is very similar to a Breast Lift (Mastopexy). The difference is generally in the nuanced goals of the surgery. Whereas, the primary goal of a breast lift is to make the breasts look younger by repositioning the tissue, the goals of a reduction are to decrease the burden of large breast while also making the breasts look younger by repositioning the tissues. There are several approaches to the breast reduction surgery, and Dr. Makipour will discuss all the available options, and which ones match each individual. This is one of a few cosmetic surgery procedures that may be covered by insurance, and our office is very skilled at getting the procedure authorized.
