George J. Beraka, MD answers: Is Breast Reduction by Lipo advisable?

I'm 31 yrs old and a 38 DD. I weigh about 74 kgs on a 5 ft 3 inch frame. I want to reduce my breasts, but I plan to have a child in 1-2 years. I am, therefore, afraid of going for< breast reduction surgery. I heard Liposuction is least liable to impair lactation. If so, am I a right candidate for breast reduction by lipo?

Hi!

In New York City, about 10% of the breast reductions that we do are liposuction only.  It"s a good operation without scars if you want to go down one cup size, and if you don't have too much sagging.

You should also know that a recent large study showed that well performed regular breast reduction does not interfere with breast feeding.
