who’s a good candidate for a combined breast lift and reduction?
Breast size and shape can strongly influence both physical and emotional health. Some women feel physical discomfort due to overly large breasts, while others may be embarrassed or self-conscious with sagging that develops over time. A combined breast lift and reduction can address both concerns, creating a more proportional and youthful contour.
At Bulan Plastic Surgery, renowned plastic surgeon Dr. Erwin Bulan has helped countless women achieve their desired breast shape through customized breast surgeries.
With decades of experience and prestigious awards as a Super Doctor for seven consecutive years, he’s known for combining precision with artistry to deliver natural-looking results that enhance aesthetic appearance and physical comfort.
Why Combine a Breast Lift and Reduction?
Breast reduction surgery focuses on removing excess breast tissue and reducing overall size. In contrast, a breast lift reshapes and repositions the breasts for a more youthful appearance.
Combining the two procedures gives you the benefits of both, including:
- Reducing neck, shoulder, and back pain
- Improving posture
- Making clothing and bras fit more comfortably
- Enhancing breast symmetry and shape
- Restoring a firmer, perkier contour
Many patients find that addressing size and position simultaneously leads to the best long-term results.
Signs You’re a Good Candidate for Both Procedures
Not everyone seeking breast enhancement needs both a reduction and a lift. However, you may benefit from this combination if you have:
Overly Large Breasts
Your breasts are too large for your frame and cause physical or emotional discomfort. Physical discomfort may include pain and other issues, like shoulder grooving from bra straps or under-breast skin irritation. Emotional struggles may include embarrassment and a fear of wearing any clothes that highlight your chest.
Sagging
Your breasts sag significantly, with nipples pointing down or resting below the breast crease. Many women feel their breasts look deflated.
Good General Health
For this combo procedure, you must be in good health, at a stable weight, and understand realistic expectations.
During a consultation, Dr. Bulan will assess your breast anatomy and discuss your goals to determine if this procedure is the right option for you.
Recovery and Expected Results
After surgery, most women need about two weeks of downtime before returning to light activities. Swelling and tenderness are normal, gradually improving over several weeks.
Wearing a surgical bra and following post-operative care instructions can support healing and optimize results. As swelling subsides, you can clearly see your newly balanced and sculpted breasts.
