Traditional Breast Reduction Vs Laser Bra Surgery

I trained with Dr. W. Grant Stevens of Marina del Ray who created the Laser Bra technique. As breast surgery is becoming more and more popular, it is not surprising that accompanying procedures have been developed to improve results or make them last longer. The Laser Bra is a technique that proves this.

Thank you for the question.

When it comes to the success of breast reduction surgery I would suggest you do not put too much weight on breast reduction time. In other words, a shorter breast reduction time does not necessarily equate to a better or worse result. 

Ultimately, I think you should concentrate on selection of a surgeon who you feel will most likely be able to achieve your goals as opposed to selecting a technique first and the surgeon secondarily. Fortunately, plastic  surgical results are very visible;  patients need only do their due diligence to make the important decision of surgeon selection.  Ask to see lots of before and after pictures ( and better yet) see patients who have had similar procedures in person.

Best wishes.

Laser Bra is just a great sounding name but that's about it.

If your concern is about the timing of 'traditional' surgery, then you should not think that laser bra is anything special.  While some surgeons describe breast reductions as taking 4 hours or so, it is also very possible to do this surgery in under an hour.  Dr. Lista and I perform these procedure in under an hour, and the cosmetic results certainly are nothing to be ashamed of.  The technique which was developed by Dr. Lista is exceptionally efficient and cosmetic.  We do not use a laser and do not ever feel the need for a laser.

Thus your choice of a surgeon should be not based on whether or not he or she does use a laser, but whether or not you like the results of his surgical technique.  Do not get tricked by clever marketing.

Sincerely,
