We’ve described why you might consider a breast lift or breast reduction. If those issues resonate with you, you can probably benefit from the procedure. To be a good candidate, you should be in good health and close to your ideal weight. If you use tobacco, you’ll need to quit at least six weeks before your surgery and remain tobacco-free for at least three weeks after. You should also have reasonable expectations for the procedure, which Dr. Duggal can explain in her consultation with you.
