Do I look like I could be a candidate?
Answer: How is it determined if auxiliary liposuction will be performed during a breast reduction? Usually in patients who are overweight, liposuction is performed at the sides of the breast, but this might not be covered by your insurance plan. Your photos with cloths on make it difficult to determine if the liposuction is necessary. A personal examination and discussion with a certified plastic surgeon will be the determining factor for the answer to your question. Good luck to you, and thank you for your question.

Answer: How is it determined if auxiliary liposuction will be performed during a breast reduction? Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, your bra, clothing, and angle of your picture is not very helpful. You will need to be examined by your surgeon to determine if liposuction is a viable option in your case. Please know that if the excess tissue is not part of your breast - insurance will not cover it. Loosing weight and acquiring a healthy BMI prior to your surgery will reduce your chances of requiring liposuction. A healthier weight will also decrease risks and complications associated with undergoing general anesthesia and the healing process. Best wishes,

Answer: Liposuction lateral chest region Thank you for your post and picture. It is hard to determine whether or not you are a good candidate for axillary liposuction based on the photo provided. Axillary liposuction is commonly performed at the time of breast reduction surgery to remove any excess fatty tissue from the lateral chest region. It can also be used to contour and shape the look of your breasts. I recommend an in person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to properly assess your needs. Hope this helps and good luck. James Lee

Answer: Best for Shape & Contour Usually when 'breast tissue' extends around to the back and sides, you would be a candidate. You would need an in-person evaluation in order to know if you're a candidate. But you can get amazing results when done with hi definition laser liposuction. It changes the shape and contour of the armpit/sides/bra roll. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Liposuction and Breast Reduction Liposuction, while not a standard component of a breast reduction, can serve as a useful adjunct. Patients often find that their excess extends to the lateral axilla. This can be excised directly, however, there are limits to how far posterior this incision can be extended. Liposuction can be employed to further improve this lateral contour as the lateral breast transitions to the axilla. Whether or not this is considered is based upon your surgeon. Additionally, as this is an adjunct treatment there may be an added cost.As always, discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon.
