Treatment Options
Breast Reduction
Breast reduction surgery, also called reduction mammoplasty or breast reduction and lift, is a plastic surgical procedure that can reduce the size of the breasts and change their shape. Health insurance companies may help if you meet certain criteria. Breast reduction procedures are often outpatient, and can be done in the same day as a breast lift.
Men may also opt for breast reduction for treatment of a condition called gynecomastia, characterized by excess breast tissue or fatty tissue in one or both breasts.
Breast Lift
A breast lift, also called mastopexy, raises breasts. The procedure lifts the breasts by removing excess skin, tightening the tissue, and moving the nipples up. Those looking for firmer breasts or larger volume may need breast implants. Breast lift procedures are often outpatient, and can be done in the same day as a breast reduction.
