Liposculpture: Q&A
Ask a QuestionLiposculpture for Asymmetrical Breasts?
I have one breast that is about 1 to 1.5 cup size larger depending on the time of the month than the other smaller and perkier one. Can Liposculpture reduce the size, tighten, and raise slightly about 1/2 inch?

Liposuction of Breasts
Thank you for the question.
Although liposuction may be able to decrease the size of a breast to some degree, it will not achieve any meaningful breast lift. Given the potential issues with mammography and potential scarring/calcification, I would prefer surgical excision for patients who present with the significant breast asymmetry that you describe.
Best wishes.

Liposuciton for breast reduction (SEE VIDEO)
It is difficult to predict the volume that can be extracted from a breast using liposuction aka liposculpture. Certain the volume will be reduced and to some extent the decreased weight of the breast will allow it to rise on the chest wall. The long term effects of laser energy or ultrasonic energy on the breast are unknown and therefore there is some reluctance to employ laser lipolysis or ultrasonic assisted lipoplasty on the breast itself.

Liposuction is an excellent method of breast reduction
Smartlipo liposculpture is an excellent method of breast reduction for one or both breasts. It is not a good method for raising the nipple-areola complex, but it will reduce breast size and reduce drooping.

Liposuction for the breasts
Liposuction is a popular and effective technique to recontour the body. If you have a small difference between your breasts, liposuction may be a solution. Let the suction to the worst works best on the outer edges of the breast. If you're asymmetry is in the central portion of the breast you may be better served by receiving a breast lift procedure. These can often be done through minimal and non-conspicuous incisions around the areola.

Liposuction for breast asymmetry may help
Liposuction for breast asymmetry can be helpful if your skin has good tone (no stretch marks and fairly elastic) and you do not need repositioning of the nipple. If you already have verticle nipple position asymmetry with the opposite breast then you may actually be happier with a very slight surgical excisional reduction and "lift" of the nipple. This can also be done with only minor scarring. Liposuction is effective if you have very soft, fatty tissue of the breast for...

Liposuction to correct breast asymmetry
To be an ideal candidate for breast reduction by liposuction alone, you have to have good skin quality and minimal sagging. Since liposuction stimulates the skin to tighten around the affected area, the breasts actually lift a little bit and there is virtually no scarring. It can be a quick and effective way of correcting breast asymmetry. Liposuction reduction may even prevent sagging from ever occuring if done in younger patients.

Liposculpture correction of breast asymmetry
You need to very careful when you liposuction a breast. The contraction of the skin is unpredictable and can lead to "emptying a sack" and getting more drooping. My guess is that you would probably need a bit of a lift once everything is healed from the liposutioning. Be aware that you may need a second procedure with associated scarring of a breast lift. Alternatively you could have a breast augmentation on the smaller side or a traditional or modified breast redution on the...

Liposuction for breast asymmetry
As Dr. Aldea nicely stated, liposculpture is just a conceited way of describing liposuction to make it sound more elegant and better. The procedure you are proposing might give you better but not perfect symmetry if your breast is more fatty than breast tssue and if your nipples doesn't need to move up much and if your skin doesn't have stretch marks and might therefore shrink adequately. There is a strong possibility though that what you really need is a lift and minor reduction to get...

Liposculpture for asymmetrical breasts
Liposculpture is a trade name of Sound Surgical, the company producing the VASER liposuction machine. (Although, I use and like the VASER , I find this use amusing and I must confess that it always sounds way too pompously delicious to hear a Doctor 90210 TV participant say with a raised chin and barely opened mouth: "Sorry, I do not l i p o s u c t i o n, my dear. .
