As an alternative to a traditional breast reduction can liposuction be done to reduce breast size? If so how many cup sizes can this procedure reduce?
Answer: Breast liposuction Breast liposuction has been used for breast reduction for many years. But you need skin with good elasticity and you can’t be excessively droopy for it to get the best results

Answer: Breast reduction Liposuction can be used to downsize the breasts in some instances. The breasts have two types of tissue- one which is conducive to liposuction and one that is not. The makeup of a particular patient's breast tissue will determine if they are a candidate for liposuction. Another consideration is excess skin. Liposuction will not address this nor lift the breasts. This is why in most cases a standard breast reduction is the recommended way to address this concern.

Answer: Liposuction for breast reduction There are some situations that have to be met when considering liposuction for breast reduction. The anticipated reduction cannot be too large and volume. There must be good skin tone. And much of the volume to be removed needs to be fat, and not breast tissue. Liposuction will usually remove very little or no rubbery, hard breast tissue.

Answer: Liposuction The breast has 2 types of tissue: fat tissue, which can be liposucted and breast parenchyma, which cannot be liposucted. Depending on how much fat and parenchyma you have, the breasts may not be able to be reduced. Also, if the breasts are reduced significantly the skin will hang. That is why surgical excision is required.

Answer: Breast Reduction With Liposuction Yes, liposuction is a surgical option to achieve a breast reduction. We perform this procedure in the office with the patient safely awake and relaxed on oral medication. The breasts are completely numbed with freshly mixed local anesthesia. I find that the reduction of 1-2 cup sizes is the typical goal of the patients and this is accomplished by removing 200-400 cc of tissue from each breast. A very important thing to consider is the aesthetic outcome. Approaching the breasts with liposuction only, leaving the breasts more deflated. There won't be a lift with a liposuction only approach. So as long as you're looking for pure volume reduction and are not concerned about the position of your breasts, then a liposuction approach may be a good option for you. We can show you some before and after photos in the office.
