Breast Reduction/Lift
Conveniently located to serve Charleston, SC
Large, heavy breasts can lead to discomfort, limit physical activity, and affect how clothing fits. If you’re experiencing back pain, shoulder strain, or sagging that makes you feel uncomfortable, breast procedures can help. At Dr. Sonny O Plastic Surgery & Medspa, we offer breast reduction surgery and breast lift in Charleston, SC—whether separately or combined.
What Is Breast Reduction?
Breast reduction surgery, or reduction mammaplasty, removes excess breast tissue and skin to alleviate discomfort. You can get a breast reduction for back pain and achieve a breast size proportionate to your body. This procedure can enhance your ability to engage in physical activities and improve overall comfort.
What Is a Breast Lift?
A breast lift, or mastopexy, addresses sagging by raising and reshaping the breasts. This procedure removes excess skin and tightens surrounding tissue to support a more youthful breast contour. It’s ideal for those experiencing drooping due to aging, pregnancy, or weight fluctuations.
How Can Breast Reduction and Breast Lift Work Combined?
Combined breast reduction with lift addresses both size and sagging concerns simultaneously. This integrated approach not only alleviates physical discomfort but also enhances the aesthetic appeal of the breasts, resulting in a balanced and youthful profile.
Ideal Candidates
You may be a good candidate for breast reduction surgery if you experience chronic back pain, neck strain, or shoulder grooves from bra straps due to overly large breasts.
In the same vein, a breast lift may be the right choice if you have sagging, downward-pointing nipples or stretched skin.
If you struggle with both excessive breast size and sagging, combining breast reduction and lift can provide the best results. Ideal candidates are in good health, have stable weight, and have realistic expectations about what to expect with combined breast procedures.
What to Expect During the Combined Procedures
Excess breast tissue and skin are removed during the combined procedures, and the nipple-areola complex is repositioned to a more youthful height. The surgery typically lasts several hours under general anesthesia. Patients can expect an outpatient setting and return home the same day.
Recovery Tips
Recovery after breast reduction surgery or a breast lift follows a similar timeline, but when combining breast reduction and lift, you may experience slightly more swelling and tightness. Most patients can return to light activities within a week, while strenuous exercises should be avoided for about six weeks.
You will need to wear a surgical bra for support and follow Dr. O’s care instructions to promote healing. While initial swelling subsides in a few weeks, full results will continue to refine over several months.

Benefits of Breast Reduction and Lift Together
Undergoing a combined breast reduction and lift offers multiple benefits, including relief from physical discomfort like back pain, enhanced breast shape and position, and improved symmetry. This comprehensive approach addresses functional and aesthetic concerns in a single surgery.
How Much Do the Combined Procedures Cost?
The cost of combined breast reduction and lift surgery varies depending on multiple factors. The complexity of the procedure, the amount of tissue being removed, and whether additional techniques like liposuction are required can all impact pricing.
Other considerations include facility fees, anesthesia costs, and post-surgical care. Because every patient’s needs are unique, a consultation at Dr. Sonny O Plastic Surgery & Medspa will provide a personalized estimate based on your goals and the specifics of your breast reduction surgery and breast lift.
