Modern cosmetic treatments really are helping improve women’s quality of life. Now, even breast reduction can be done without scarring and the usual risks of traditional surgery. Breast reduction with liposuction is a much less intrusive, safer, more convenient way for women to address problems associated with having large or very large breasts.

A breast reduction by liposuction serves a woman’s goal to have her breasts reduced without the scars of a regular breast reduction, with a quicker operation, and less healing time. Since women are reluctant to have a regular breast reduction because of scarring, a liposuction breast reduction is a good alternative. These women suffer from all the problems that other heavy-breasted women have including the neck pain, back pain, shoulder pain and shoulder grooving. They also are dissatisfied with their body image and may be unable to wear the clothes that they desire because of their enlarged breasts. These factors may hinder a woman with large breast from participating in sports, playing a more active social role, and simply enjoying life to the fullest.

The Breast Reduction by Liposuction Procedure

The procedure is relatively simple and straightforward. A patient, who is a good candidate for this procedure, is given antibiotics, and anesthetized in the operating room. The breasts are injected with tumescent solution to give some pain relief and decrease the bleeding during surgery. Then 2 small incisions are made in each breast, about 3 millimeters each, and liposuction is performed to remove the desired amount. When sufficient fat is removed, the incisions are closed and the patient is awakened.

Advantages of Breast Reduction Lipoplasty

Due to the use of microcannulas, the scarring is minimal and under the fold of the breast, making it invisible to the naked eye. The incisions are generally sealed with stitches which can be removed within two weeks of the procedure, and supportive bandages or garments must be worn to encourage the breasts to heal well and maintain their new shape. As the procedure can be carried out under local anaesthetic, most liposuction cases can be treated on a ‘walk in walk out’ basis, meaning that there are no overnight stays in hospital. Recovery time is quick which means that you can return to your normal daily activities faster than you would normally do after reduction mammoplasty.

A breast reduction by liposuction is an ideal operation for a heavy-breasted woman who wants volume removed from her breasts, but does not want to have the scars, and wants “less of an operation” with less chance of complications.
