Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a breast lift and a breast reduction?
A breast lift (mastopexy) raises and reshapes sagging breasts without significantly reducing size, while a breast reduction removes excess tissue to decrease size. They are often combined.
Does insurance cover breast reduction?
Breast reduction is sometimes covered when it is medically necessary to relieve documented symptoms such as chronic back and neck pain. Coverage depends on your insurer's criteria.
How visible are breast lift and reduction scars?
Incision patterns (lollipop or anchor) leave scars that fade over time. Technique selection and scar care minimize their appearance.
