Can I Get Breast Liposuction if I've Already Had Breast Reduction Surgery?

Hi. I had a breast reduction surgery about 4 months ago. prior to surgery i was a 32DDD. Now I'm a 32 full D almost a DD. i asked to be a B/C. I think I'm still too large. i have heard about breast Liposuction but will this work after you have already had a reduction? if so will it make my breast saggy? My new breast have a great shape and have been lifted, but are still heavy and large. I just dont think enough was removed. Also i feel my left breast is larger then my right.

A: liposuction useful for small modifications in brest surgery

small, minor changes in breast size/shape can be accomplished with liposuction, but i suspect what you describe will likely need additional excisional surgery. since it sounds like you had a good experience and result, you should return to your surgeon to discuss the size issue. often we wait till patients are 6 months out before undertaking such a revision.

How Soon After Breast Reduction Surgery Can I Go into my Swimming Pool (Salt Water)

My surgery is scheduled for July, how soon after can i go into my swimming pool (salt water, heated pool). I realize i probably cannot start swimming laps around the pool, but just going in the water to cool off? thank you

A: Swimming after breast reduction

I ask my patients to refrain from using swimming pools or hot tubs for two to three weeks after surgery.  It is important to ensure that the incisions from the surgery are well healed.  Otherwise, pool water that is contaminated with bacteria may enter the surgical wounds and cause an infection.

How Long Should Drains Stay in After Breast Reduction?

My surgeon isn't planning on removing my drains until my 1 week followup which is 8 days later. Is it normal to have drain in that long after a breast reduction?? I am 24, going from a F/G cup to a D cup.

A: Drains after breast reduction

Whether drains are used or not and how long they stay in is variable amongst different plastic surgeons.  There is no absolute right or wrong when it comes to this.  Your surgeons recommendation will be bases upon their personal experience and training.  I
