Bra Reduction - Laser

LOTS of issues here...and, with the understanding that there's a limit to what can reasonably be discussed via this forum, and looking only at photos of you in clothes, here are some thoughts: 1) I'm not sure what a Laser Bra Reduction is. In general, if there is a significant excess of skin and/or breast tissue, you will need some type of an incision - whether with a scalpel or a comparable instrument - to remove the excess. If you have JUST removal of breast... more

Laser Bra Fad

A breast reduction requires a portion of the skin external surface to be removed, this is called de-epithelization. There are varies techniques and none (including laser) have proved to be superior to the others. Since you are a size 34 O, you will need to be reduced to something more in the normal range, probably D or DD. This will make it easier to find clothing and bras that fit. Also, the size reduction will help with pain. The goal of breast reduction... more

Laser bra

From your photos, it appears that you area a good candidate for reduction mammaplasty, although it would be helpful to see photos out of clothes. A few plastic surgeons may promote the use of the laser in breast reduction for marketing purposes, but the is no evidence that this is a superior technique to a traditional approach or that the results are any better. I would be somewhat skeptical, but base your overall selection of surgeon on factors such as experience and photos of cases... more

Breast Reduction Should be Very Fulfilling for you- but beware "Laser" procedures

Hi there- There is no doubt in my mind that if you make good choices, breast reduction surgery will be a very rewarding and positive experience for you. I would be extremely wary of any surgeon that is trying to get your attention by marketing "laser breast reduction". There is no magic in plastic surgery- whether you use a laser, a robot, pixie dust, or any other gimmick. Just good training, experience, and hopefully some talent. The greatest concern, beyond the... more

Forget the laser bra

Watch out for any "sounds too good to be true" marketing in plastic surgery as if using a catchy phrase like "laser bra" is some kind of magic. What you should do is find the best breast reduction plastic surgeon in your region and let them use the technique they think is best.

Laser bra breast reduction

Thank you for the photos. You would benefit from a breast reduction. Laser breast reduction is a marketing term to make you believe that the surgeon using it is hi tech and way ahead of his peers. This refers to removing the superficial skin of the breast that will be lifted and covered by skin. One can do this by burning it with a hot laser or removing it with a cold knife. End result=no diffference. See a board certified plastic surgeon with experience in short scar breast... more

Laser bra breast reduction

You seem like a good candidate for a breast reduction. Cosmetic surgery rule number 1: Avoid any surgeon who proposes a technique with a nifty, high tech name, particularly if it includes the word "laser". They are probably calling themselves a "cosmetic surgeon" and are not a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. Either way, they are trying to market their services by appealing to people's inherent gullibility and... more

Laser Breast Reduction?

Based on this ( and previous) descriptions of your situation, I think you may do very well with breast reduction surgery. I would suggest that as you do your due diligence and research the procedure, you concentrate on finding the best plastic surgeon ( not necessarily the best “technique”). I think you will find that it is the quality of the work done, as opposed to the specific technique, that is most critical to the outcome of your surgery... more

Opinion regarding Laser Bra Breast Reduction?

Dear Katie, It is obvious that you would GREATLY benefit from a well done Breast Reduction procedure. Many medical insurance companies (not all) still cover the operation providing you meet their particular criteria (which you should have no trouble doing). The vast majority of women can have a long lasting, perky result with a limited scar by having a SHORT SCAR Breast Reduction (such as a Hall-Findlay). As regards the laser breast reduction. You are a victim to shameless... more
