Less is sometimes more
Breast reduction and breast lift
It is not always smaller or sagging breasts that cause women to consider breast surgery. Often it is also the desire to reduce an excessively large breast.
Overly large breasts can cause both psychological and physical problems for many women.
Breast reduction
During a breast reduction, excess breast tissue, including fat, skin and glandular tissue, is removed to reduce the size and weight of the breast.
This procedure is often performed on women who suffer from complaints such as back or neck pain due to overly large breasts.
Breast lift
During a breast lift, the position of the nipple and breast tissue is adjusted to achieve a firmer and more youthful appearance. This procedure is suitable for women whose breasts have lost firmness due to pregnancy, weight loss or natural ageing.

Conclusion
Although both procedures can achieve similar results, breast reduction focuses on reducing the size, while breast lift mainly aims to improve the shape and position of the breast. Both techniques are often combined to achieve optimal results, especially for women who want to lose both size and firmness.
The operation can be combined with various aesthetic procedures,
to achieve a comprehensive and harmonious result.
A combined operation reduces the overall risk and saves time and costs.
