I am doing research for my Breast Reduction. When researching the Laser Bra, I discovered that the procedure is about 1 & 1/2-2 hours, however when researching traditional Breast Reduction and Lift, some doctors say that the procedure will be around 4-5 hours for sculpting my own natural tissue.
Do any of you have any reservations about the Laser Bra technique? Why is the time difference so big? I have not found any pictures of traditional reduction and lifts on the Internet that wowed me; however, the Laser Bra before and after pictures are amazing. BUT - I will not compromise my health if the technique is not safe. Please advice. Thank you so much for your time.

Answer: 'Laser Bra' lift is a marketing ploy
There is nothing unique about a 'Laser Bra' lift compared to to traditional breast reduction and breast lift surgery. The laser is used to remove the surface of a portion of the breast skin. This technique is also done with a knife, which is much more cost-effective than a laser. See out a plastic surgeon that does a lot of breast reduction procedures.

Answer: A consultation with a plastic surgeon may be helpful When considering your options for breast reduction surgery, be very cautious as to what is being advertised as the latested and greatest in minimally invasive or noninvasive procedures. Breast reduction surgery is not just about making the breasts smaller, but also about reshaping and sculpting them to provide a more youthful shape and look. This is difficult if not impossible to acheive without surgery in my opinion. In terms of time, I think most of us would agree that we can perform a breast reduction in most patients in about 2-21/2 hours or less. This can provided you with a wonderful, natural and durable result. There are multiple photos on many of our websites showing before and after photos of breast reduction surgery. My advice is to sit down with one or more Board Certified Plastic Surgeons in your area for a consultation and review of your options. I think this is the best way to make an informed decision as to what you feel is best for your body. Best of luck, Dr. Salemy
