  • 20. Breast Lift vs Reduction

    Sagging caused by past pregnancies, genetics, or aging can be significantly improved by a breast lift. Individuals with sagging breasts too great to be corrected by implants alone can benefit from this procedure.

    Women with large, heavy breasts who experience difficulty breathing, have back, shoulder, or neck pain, poor posture, bra-strap indentations, or chafing under the breasts are prime candidates for breast reduction surgery.

    Listen as Dr. Moya discusses the differences between these procedures.
