What's up Docs,
I am doing research for my Breast Reduction. When researching the Laser Bra, I discovered that the procedure is about 1 & 1/2-2 hours, however when researching traditional Breast Reduction and Lift, some doctors say that the procedure will be around 4-5 hours for sculpting my own natural tissue.
Do any of you have any reservations about the Laser Bra technique? Why is the time difference so big? I have not found any pictures of traditional reduction and lifts on the Internet that wowed me; however, the Laser Bra before and after pictures are amazing. BUT - I will not compromise my health if the technique is not safe. Please advice. Thank you so much for your time.
Sounds like a fancy gimmicky way to get patients into the office. Most breast reductions take about 2-3 hours to perform in experienced hands. They are usually done with traditional incisions giving good results. Maybe if it is suggested that it is a limited incison endoscopic Smartlipo fraxel microsurgical laser breast reduction, more patients would come in for surgery!
Times are hard and some surgeons market themselves anyway they can. In general, avoid any operation that has a catchy name or a brand name.
In fact, it makes a very big difference how a breast reduction is done. The breast should be shaped with internal sutures without relying on skin tightening. This way you will get good LONG TERM shape. Most women need only a "lollypop" scar. And it should not take more than 3 hours. Not that how long it takes matters very much.
