Breast Reduction Method Utilizes Liposuction

Most patients who undergo a breast reduction surgery are relieved. Strain is taken off of the back and legs. Women no longer have to endure stares and men no longer have to feel uncomfortable about their effeminate bodies. However, the most common complaint after this procedure is an unsightly scar that is left on the breast. This can be visibly reduced with laser surgical procedures, but few know that it can actually be avoided all together.

Recently, plastic surgeons have been able to use the technology of liposuction (literally means sucking the fat out of the body) to reduce breast size. This provides a much faster recovery time and much less trauma and scarring to the breast.

However, there are a few considerations that a surgeon must make before recommending the procedure. The following women would be good candidates for liposuction:

• Those with breasts that hang down- these are likely to be made of more fat than actual breast tissue
• Those who are not particularly thin
• Those who have already experienced menopause
• Women without excessively large breasts- the procedure relies on the patient’s elasticity and ability to reshape the skin around the new breast

If you feel that you meet one or more of these qualifications, contact a plastic surgeon to learn more about breast reduction surgeries today!
