Breast Reduction vs Breast Lift - Raleigh, NC Plastic Surgeon - Dr. Glenn Lyle

One of the most common questions I get is what's the difference between a breast reduction and a breast lift? Really, they're very similar. They involve very similar incisions. But a breast lift, or mastopexy, really involves just a reshaping of the breast, not much change in the size, actually boosting the breast tissue up to create a more attractive mound, whereas a breast reduction removes tissue, a little bit more tissue reduces the weight.
