Restore Comfort, Balance & Youthful Breast Shape

Breast reduction with lift surgery (reduction mammaplasty) removes excess fat, breast tissue, and skin to create a smaller, lighter, and more proportionate breast size. This transformative procedure not only improves breast shape and position, but also relieves the physical discomfort, posture issues, and social challenges often associated with overly large breasts.

This guide explains the full process—from preparation to recovery—while outlining the techniques used, the risks to consider, and what patients can expect from breast reduction and lift surgery at La Belle Vie Cosmetic in Seattle.

What Is Breast Reduction With Lift?

Breast reduction surgery reduces breast size while simultaneously lifting and reshaping the breasts for a more youthful, elevated contour. Reduction mammaplasty:

  • Removes excess breast tissue, fat, and stretched skin
  • Lifts the breasts to a higher, natural position
  • Improves projection and firmness
  • Relieves back, neck, and shoulder pain
  • Reduces skin irritation and posture problems
  • Helps clothing fit more comfortably

Who Is a Good Candidate?

You may be an excellent candidate if you:

  • Chronic back, neck, or shoulder pain
  • Skin irritation beneath the breast fold
  • Bra strap grooves on the shoulders
  • Difficulty exercising or performing daily activities
  • Asymmetry or drooping (ptosis)
  • Trouble finding properly fitting clothing

During your consultation, Dr. Tony Mangubat will assess your anatomy and symptoms to determine the best plan for your body’s needs.

“The treatment by the staff and doctor have been by far the most professional and amazing service I have ever received. His staff answered all the questions and worries I had without making me feel stupid about having them. The most influential part of this process was how I was taken care up right when I woke up from surgery. I felt safe and taken care of and I knew everything was going to be okay.”

Patient

The Procedure

Each technique is chosen based on the degree of lift required and the desired breast contour.

Periareolar (Donut Lift)

A circular incision around the areola, ideal for mild lifting.

Vertical (Lollipop Lift)

Incisions around the areola and vertically down to the breast crease, used for moderate sagging.

Inverted-T (Anchor Lift)

Combines vertical and horizontal incisions to address significant sagging and reshape the breast base.

Before Breast Reduction Surgery

To ensure safety and excellent outcomes, patients undergo a thorough preoperative evaluation. Your provider will:

  • Review your overall health and medical history
  • Examine breast size, symmetry, skin elasticity, and nipple position
  • Discuss expected results and appropriate surgical options

Recovery and Aftercare

Recovery and Aftercare
After surgery, patients are discharged the same day to recover comfortably at home. You’ll wear a supportive surgical bra to minimize swelling and support your new shape.

Mild soreness, swelling, or tightness is normal during the first few days and improves gradually. Most patients return to work within 7–10 days, avoiding heavy lifting for about four weeks.

You can shower within two to three days after your first post-operative visit. Dr. Mangubat and his team will provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure smooth healing and beautiful, long-lasting results.
