There are also techniques to lift the breasts which may be performed alone or along with breast augmentation, again, depending on your personal goals. Breastlifts, or mastopexy, tighten a drooping breast by removing excess skin only. A very new technique uses an absorbable mesh to lift the breast like an "internal bra" but has a very limited clinical experience.
Breast reduction removes excess volume and skin at one time, and sometimes is partly or fully covered by insurance. Patients with disproportionately large breasts and neck and shoulder discomfort are often helped by this procedure.
Recovery time-breast augmentation over muscle 3-4 days, under muscle 5-7 days, breast lift 3-7 days, breast reduction 7-10 days.
