Is Breast Reduction by Liposuction Possible for H Cup Breasts?

Certainly your breasts can be evened out.
Although your breasts can be reduced with liposuction, it will not manage the amoung of breast sag (ptosis) that you demonstrate in this photograph. Nearly every traditional form of breast reduction involves some degree of a breast lift.

Woman
who suffer from macromastia (large breast ) and ptosis (sagging of the breast )
have two concurrent problems. The first problem is the excess breast tissue, which
makes the breast larger and heavier. The
second problem is excess skin, which is a result of the effects of gravity over
time.



These
patients have symptoms such as back pains and aches and in order to properly
treat and help these patients the surgeon needs to address both of the
aforementioned issues; excess breast tissue and excess skin.



In
general; liposuction is a useful tool to remove small volumes of fat and breast
tissue. However, it does not address the
excess skin problem. Therefore
liposuction alone would not provide a patient with an adequate result if the
patient has very large amount of breast volume and excess sagging skin. As such, I think a traditional breast
reduction would be a better option for you.

Liposuction alone may reduce the size of your breasts, but it will leave your breasts saggy. For this reason, it may be better for you to have a traditional reduction and lift performed. This would reduce the size of your breasts and lift them to a perkier and smaller shape.

It’s possible to perform
breast reduction utilizing liposuction when patients have minimal breast
enlargement and minimal breast sag. Unfortunately, this procedure isn’t
effective when patients need larger amounts of tissue removed or have
significant breast sag. Under these circumstances, the excess skin isn’t
addressed and this makes the existing breast sag even worse.

 

The majority of patients with
large breasts require a traditional breast reduction. Your pictures and history
indicate that you would be an excellent candidate for this type of procedure.
This procedure can remove significant amounts of breast tissue and
simultaneously address your breast sag. It can create breasts that have
balance, proportion and harmony with the surrounding structures.

 

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

Liposuction is usually not the best option for breast reduction surgery.  If you have a large percentage fat and excellent skin elasticity, you may be a candidate.  Discuss your options with the best surgeon you can find. Good luck.

Hi Sara!

Thanks for your question and photos. I can completely understand your desire for a breast reduction and I think the surgery will make a positive difference for you.

It is possible to do breast reduction surgery by liposuction. However I don't think you would have good results with breast reduction by liposuction as if you had a significant reduction (to go to a C or D cup) the procedure would deflate your breasts but still leave them with a significant sag.

I would recommend a surgical breast reduction (which would include a breast lift) in your case, and in the meantime a supportive bra that you wear whenever you wish.

Good luck!

Thank you for the question and pictures.

I think you are an excellent  for a traditional breast reduction operation. Although liposuction can be used as a tool,  direct excision of excess breast tissue, adipose tissue, and skin will give you the best results.

In person consultation with a well experienced board certified plastic surgeon will be helpful.

Best wishes.

You certainly look like someone who could benefit from a breast reduction. If your breasts are mainly soft and fatty in nature, liposuction can certainly decrease the volume. However, it will not lift the breast or tighten the skin envelope as a formal breast reduction would achieve.

Sarajj74,
I think this is one time I would advise against your mother's counsel.
To be blunt, forget about liposuction for your breast reduction. You need a procedure that will not only reduce the weight of the breasts, but remove the stretched skin, elevate the nipples, improve the shape, and make the breasts more symmetrical.
You will need a full reduction to achieve this. Depending on your physical examination, your health history, and other considerations, you may also require a free nipple graft.
My opinion is that you deserve to have this operation to improve your quality of life.
Best of luck.

You are a very poor candidate for liposuction breast reduction because of your size and your drooping. You will have a much, much better result with traditional breast reduction and will look better than with liposuctioning. You will also have a much better look if you have a breast reduction. You are a very good candidate.
