Breast lift and breast reduction are typically one in the same. With a lift the nipple is moved upward and the breast is formed around that. Depending on how much breast tissue needs to be removed the surgery can qualify as a breast reduction. But there is always some lifting involved in both procedures.

A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure designed to elevate and reshape sagging breasts. Various factors such as pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight changes, aging, and gravity can lead to loss of skin elasticity and diminished breast firmness over time.
In this surgery an experienced plastic surgeon removes excess skin from around the areola or underneath the breasts; then tightens remaining tissue for higher support by suturing deeper layers of breast tissue together which helps maintain new contours.
People opt for a breast lift not only due to cosmetic reasons but also because it enhances physical comfort in various activities that might be hindered like running or jumping, where excessive movement could lead discomfort even pain.
