I am late 20s 5ft 5.5in, 238lbs. My breasts are really heavy. Wearing 40G and 42F bras. I have deep indents in my shoulders that make me look deformed. Back and shoulder pain constantly...waiting for insurance w/my new job and hoping to get approved for a reduction. I want to add lipo since I'll already be under anesthesia. I had lipo in 2014 by a doctor that wasn't a surgeon. I was very ill informed and regret it. My results were uneven and lumpy, but I was too scared to go back. Please advise!

Answer: Liposuction/ Liposculpture/ Fat Transfer/ Vaser/ Hi Definition Procedures/Liposuction Revision/Tummy Tuck/Body Contouring I appreciate your question. For health and safety reasons, best to be at a BMI less than 30 or within 10 pounds of your goal weight and stable at that weight for 6 months prior to surgery for optimal results. The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam. Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery. Best of luck!

Answer: Breast reduction and liposuction Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photograph, you are a great candidate for a liposuction in addition to your breast reduction. This is very common to combine. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results. The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G. Reish, M.D. Harvard-trained plastic surgeon
