A: Laser bra breast reduction

Thank you for the photos. You would benefit from a breast reduction. Laser breast reduction is a marketing term to make you believe that the surgeon using it is hi tech and way ahead of his peers. This refers to removing the superficial skin of the breast that will be lifted and covered by skin. One can do this by burning it with a hot laser or removing it with a cold knife. End result=no diffference. See a board certified plastic surgeon with experience in short scar breast reduction surgery. The laser breast reduction surgeon might charge you more by making you believe that he is at the cutting edge (no pun intended) of plastic surgery. Remember, the laser is just another tool in the hands of the surgeon and has nothing to do with the ultimate outcome (unless it's used inapropriately).

How Do You Know What Size to Tell the Surgeon when Getting a Breast Reduction? (photo)

I am 21 and i am 5'3 and about 160 to 175lbs an is has a somewhat tiny figure and have not yet had children. I have upper back pain an sagging with my breast. I am a 34O in bra size and have been sized with professional's more than once and i would like to be a D or DD but family and friends are telling me to do a C cup seeing i have not yet had children. Sizing wise what do you tell the surgent and how do you know what is the right size for you??

A: What Size will My Breasts Be After a Reduction?

In our culture, bra size is the only language we have for discussing breast size.  Unfortunately the garment industry has not standardized bra sizes so it can be a way to miscommunicate. I avoid bra language so as not to disappoint someone. I find before and after photographs are a better way to discuss size.  I try to find  previous patients' photos with a similar body type to demonstrate what is possible and what is likely.   I ask women if they would be more unhappy left too small or too big.  Women with extremely large breasts often cannot made to be as small as they would like because of the risk to the blood supply.  You can bring your surgeon a few photographs if you want to try to communicate your goals.  Your surgeon can let you know whether or not that is realistic.  Good luck!

Ive Recently Heard About Breast Reduction Pills,is the Reaaly Such a Thing That Works?

hello doctors, ive recently and very recentl read somewhere about breast reduction pills that do the job without the need for surgery and as someone looking into having a surgery done im wondering if there is such a thing a breast reduction pills that work?

A: Breast Reduction, Any Non-surgical Means?

I know of no scientific evidence that there is a pill that can reduce breast size.  It sounds like misleading advertising to me.  Weight loss can reduce your breast size somewhat.  Good luck.
