Is Breast Reduction by Liposuction Possible for H Cup Breasts?

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

Breast reduction with liposuction

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.

Liposuction for Larger Breasts

Your description of your breasts indicates that not only are they very large, but also very pendulous. Liposuction alone is best utilized in only moderately sized breasts that are comprised largely of fat and have excellent skin elasticity. In general, the younger the patient the more the breast is comprised of dense glandular tissue which is not removed with a liposuction cannula. In addition, if the skin has lost its elasticity it will not... more

Breast reduction by liposuction

Hi Sara! Thanks for your question and photos. I can completely understand your desire for a breast reduction and I think the surgery will make a positive difference for you. It is possible to do breast reduction surgery by liposuction. However I don't think you would have good results with breast reduction by liposuction as if you had a significant reduction (to go to a C or D cup) the procedure would deflate your breasts but still leave them with a significant sag. I would... more

Breast Reduction with Liposuction?

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.

Breast reduction by liposuction

You certainly look like someone who could benefit from a breast reduction. If your breasts are mainly soft and fatty in nature, liposuction can certainly decrease the volume. However, it will not lift the breast or tighten the skin envelope as a formal breast reduction would achieve.

Breast reduction for a better quality of life

Sarajj74, I think this is one time I would advise against your mother's counsel. To be blunt, forget about liposuction for your breast reduction. You need a procedure that will not only reduce the weight of the breasts, but remove the stretched skin, elevate the nipples, improve the shape, and make the breasts more symmetrical. You will need a full reduction to achieve this. Depending on your physical examination, your health history, and other considerations, you may also require a free... more

Liposuction breast reduction

You are a very poor candidate for liposuction breast reduction because of your size and your drooping. You will have a much, much better result with traditional breast reduction and will look better than with liposuctioning. You will also have a much better look if you have a breast reduction. You are a very good candidate.

Breast Reduction by Liposuction

I feel that liposuction alone can be used only for a very small breast reduction where there is no significant sagging. You would not be al all happy with a reduction using only liposuction. You have a great deal of breast tissue which needs to be removed and also need a lot of skin removal in order to elevate your nipples and achieve better symmetry.

Liposuction doesn't work for huge breasts

Unfortunately, liposuction would be completely wrong for your huge breasts.  You need a properly performed breast reduction which will also lift your breasts.  Liposuction can make you a little smaller, but sadly, you will droop even more.

Breast Reduction by Liposuction not possible in your H cup breasts

SORRY, NOT in your case. You have TOO MUCH to be removed and the nipple/areolar complex will be in the same locale. It would be like deflating a balloon and leaving an empty shell. For the better way to even out the breast asymmetry only a surgical incision operation can. Best of Luck.
