It is possible to do a lift after having a previous reduction. Try to obtain your operative reports to bring to your new surgeon. Good luck!

As a major part of reduction mammoplasty is a lift of the breast, nipple areola .

However, in cases of large breast or significant weight loss and subsequent severe laxity of the skin, the breast will drop and become ptotic again and in this case the breast can be lifted again. It is not the surgeon's fault, it is the quality of skin and size of the breast working against gravity. If the breast fall down then you need a breast lift which is a cosmetic procedure.

Hello! It is always important to be clear about the agreement with your surgeon, regarding which surgery to perform. If your desire, in addition to the reduction, is the elevation of your breasts and this was not carried out, then you should go back to your plastic surgeon and discuss it. In general, the most appropriate time to do it is 1 year after the first surgery. To avoid a greater number of possible complications.
