Scar-less Breast Reduction - How is this done? Where can I get it? Ideally want to avoid big surgery incision marks.

         The scarless breast
reduction procedure is essentially liposuction of the breast. This procedure
can be utilized for minimal breast reductions when minimal sag is present.

 

         The majority of
patients with large breasts require a traditional breast reduction. This
procedure can remove larger amounts of tissue and can address breast sag as
well.

 

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

There is a new technique called the Ultimate Breast Reduction that has eliminated the 'dreaded' vertical scar. The scars are hidden around the areolas and under the natural crease of the breast. Women as small as D and as large as M can be successfully reduced using this procedure. Breasts are lifted higher than conventional vertical scar techniques and it does not rely solely on the skin envelope to maintain long term results. Women now have an alternative to the Weis (anchor) technique which was developed in 1957! It's worth looking into.

Thank you for the question.

You may have been hearing about breast  reduction done with liposuctioning.

It is a rare patient who is a good candidate for breast reduction with liposuction alone. The reduction achieved is minimal to moderate at most and the breast  should have the following characteristics:  significant fatty tissue as well as excellent overlying skin elasticity. There are very few patients whose breasts  are amendable  to liposuctioning as the  sole  means of breast reduction.

Best wishes.
