Laser bra surgery isn't magic

The laser bra is simply a way of using the dermis layer of the skin to support the breast after lifting and reduction. The use of the word "laser" makes it sound more high-tech and fancy than using the word "traditional."

It is advertised by Dr. Stevens in L.A. I have reviewed his multiple photos and quite honestly I am not very impressed with the outcomes nor would I be happy with them for my own patients. Just like other art forms, a breast reduction and lift is a sculpting exercise that some people are better at than others.

Check with multiple doctors and wait until you find the one who creates results you think look good. There are few surgeons who can do an excellent breast reduction and lift in 1.5 hours. Somewhere between 2.5 and 4 hours is more appropriate for the best shaping and careful sewing.

When considering your options for breast reduction surgery, be very cautious as to what is being advertised as the latested and greatest in minimally invasive or noninvasive procedures. 

Breast reduction surgery is not just about making the breasts smaller, but also about reshaping and sculpting them to provide a more youthful shape and look.  This is difficult if not impossible to acheive without surgery in my opinion.

In terms of time, I think most of us would agree that we can perform a breast reduction in most patients in about 2-21/2 hours or less.  This can provided you with a wonderful, natural and durable result.

There are multiple photos on many of our websites showing before and after photos of breast reduction surgery.  My advice is to sit down with one or more Board Certified Plastic Surgeons in your area for a consultation and review of your options.  I think this is the best way to make an informed decision as to what you feel is best for your body.

Best of luck,

Dr. Salemy
