What is a non-surgical breast reduction?

Open surgical breast reduction is most common and versatile option for lifting breasts and reducing breast size and weight. However, there is a good option that does not require the open surgical techniques of cutting and removing tissue... Liposuction breast reduction. It is also caused scar less breast reduction because the liposuction option does not leave surgical scars. The open surgical breast reduction and lift is most commonly performed procedure and it has several advantages. It can remove the most breast tissue and result in greatest lift. It is the ideal procedure for very droopy or pendulous breasts. The less invasive breast reduction has many advantages as well. As mentioned, liposuction breast reduction does not leave surgical scars, its recovery is easier and quicker, it does not cause loss of nipple sensation and or risk of nipple loss, it should not harm milk ducts so it doesn't compromise breast feeding. Liposuction breast reduction can give an excellent result for the right candidate. The ideal candidate is for the scar less breast reduction is a woman needing only moderate, or about 50% breast reduction and needs only a modest lift to the breasts. For these candidates they can have an excellent result.

There is no such thing as a non-surgical breast reduction. If you are interested in a breast reduction, I recommend The Bellesoma Method. This will reduce and reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. The weight of the breast is transferred to the underlying pectoralis major muscle resulting in pain relief without excessive reduction. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained.

There are no proven non-surgical breast reductions.

Keep in mind, that following the advice from a surgeon on this or any other
website who proposes to tell you what to do without examining you, physically feeling the tissue, assessing your desired outcome, taking a full medical history, and discussing the pros and cons of the proposed operative procedure may not be in your best interest. I would suggest you find a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and ideally a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) that you trust and are comfortable with. You should discuss your concerns and your options with that surgeon in person.
