I have one breast that is about 1 to 1.5 cup size larger depending on the time of the month than the other smaller and perkier one. Can Liposculpture reduce the size, tighten, and raise slightly about 1/2 inch?
Answer: Breast asymmetry options Thank you for your question. Breast asymmetry is very common, particularly size asymmetry. If you are looking to decrease the asymmetry from one breast to another, then you have several options. 1) You can reduce the larger breast with liposuction or a traditional breast reduction technique 2) You can enlarge the smaller one with fat grafting or an implant 3) You can enlarge both but use different size implants 4) A lift procedure may also be needed to help address differences in shape, nipple position and areolar size. I would visit with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options in more detail.

Answer: Liposuction of Breasts
Thank you for the question.
Although liposuction may be able to decrease the size of a breast to some degree, it will not achieve any meaningful breast lift. Given the potential issues with mammography and potential scarring/calcification, I would prefer surgical excision for patients who present with the significant breast asymmetry that you describe.
Best wishes.

Answer: Liposuciton for breast reduction (SEE VIDEO)
It is difficult to predict the volume that can be extracted from a breast using liposuction aka liposculpture. Certain the volume will be reduced and to some extent the decreased weight of the breast will allow it to rise on the chest wall. The long term effects of laser energy or ultrasonic energy on the breast are unknown and therefore there is some reluctance to employ laser lipolysis or ultrasonic assisted lipoplasty on the breast itself.

Answer: Liposuction for breast asymmetry may help Liposuction for breast asymmetry can be helpful if your skin has good tone (no stretch marks and fairly elastic) and you do not need repositioning of the nipple. If you already have verticle nipple position asymmetry with the opposite breast then you may actually be happier with a very slight surgical excisional reduction and "lift" of the nipple. This can also be done with only minor scarring. Liposuction is effective if you have very soft, fatty tissue of the breast for reducing the volume, and no nipple placement asymmetry. Also you need to have some screening studies to ensure that your breast asymmetry is not something more serious before you decide to have a symmetry procedure performed.
