Is Breast Reduction by Liposuction Possible for H Cup Breasts?

Question

I am large breasted so I have trouble finding anything to fit. However, I am not a large woman.  Currently, I am about G to H cup size and only 36" to 38".I have been thinking about Breast Reduction for some time since before I could drive!  My mother was the type (for what ever reason) who believes that a bra should only be worn to school!So quickly in my youth, my breast developed a sag!  Can that be corrected and would I be a candidate for Liposuction reduction?  Can my breast be evened out?Sincerely, Sara

Otto Joseph Placik, MD · Answer

Certainly your breasts can be evened out.
Although your breasts can be reduced with liposuction, it will not manage the amoung of breast sag (ptosis) that you demonstrate in this photograph. Nearly every traditional form of breast reduction involves some degree of a breast lift.

John Diaz, MD · Answer

Woman
who suffer from macromastia (large breast ) and ptosis (sagging of the breast )
have two concurrent problems. The first problem is the excess breast tissue, which
makes the breast larger and heavier.  The
second problem is excess skin, which is a result of the effects of gravity over
time.

These
patients have symptoms such as back pains and aches and in order to properly
treat and help these patients the surgeon needs to address both of the
aforementioned issues; excess breast tissue and excess skin.

In
general; liposuction is a useful tool to remove small volumes of fat and breast
tissue.  However, it does not address the
excess skin problem.  Therefore
liposuction alone would not provide a patient with an adequate result if the
patient has very large amount of breast volume and excess sagging skin.  As such, I think a traditional breast
reduction would be a better option for you.

Michael Constantin Gartner, DO · Answer

Liposuction alone may reduce the size of your breasts, but it will leave your breasts saggy. For this reason, it may be better for you to have a traditional reduction and lift performed. This would reduce the size of your breasts and lift them to a perkier and smaller shape.

Richard J. Bruneteau, MD · Answer

It’s possible to perform
breast reduction utilizing liposuction when patients have minimal breast
enlargement and minimal breast sag. Unfortunately, this procedure isn’t
effective when patients need larger amounts of tissue removed or have
significant breast sag. Under these circumstances, the excess skin isn’t
addressed and this makes the existing breast sag even worse.

The majority of patients with
large breasts require a traditional breast reduction. Your pictures and history
indicate that you would be an excellent candidate for this type of procedure.
This procedure can remove significant amounts of breast tissue and
simultaneously address your breast sag. It can create breasts that have
balance, proportion and harmony with the surrounding structures.

Liposuction has significant
limitations and for most patients would be inappropriate. If your considering
breast reduction, the best advice would be to consult a plastic surgeon with
experience who is board certified in plastic surgery.

David Stoker, MD · Answer

Liposuction is usually not the best option for breast reduction surgery.  If you have a large percentage fat and excellent skin elasticity, you may be a candidate.  Discuss your options with the best surgeon you can find. Good luck.

Tom J. Pousti, MD · Answer

Thank you for the question and pictures.

I think you are an excellent  for a traditional breast reduction operation. Although liposuction can be used as a tool,  direct excision of excess breast tissue, adipose tissue, and skin will give you the best results.

In person consultation with a well experienced board certified plastic surgeon will be helpful.

Best wishes.
