I am a 22yo university student and I will be applying to have my procedure covered by OHIP (liposuction not covered - therefore not an option for me). I have been a size 32E since ~age 12 and I am slender/muscular (5'6-130lbs) with minimal excess fat tissue in my upper/axillary chest area. I am pursuing surgery due to serious chronic pain, but still concerned with what my aesthetic results may be. Considering my thin frame, is liposuction really a necessity to achieve attractive breast contour?

Answer: Breast reduction Commonly breast reduction is performed without liposuction. Some like to sue liposuction to treat the lateral chest and sometimes the gland itself.

Answer: Breast reduction Hello and thank you for your excellent question. Liposuction is typically a part of the breast reduction surgery, but is not ALWAYS a part of it. You should be able to get an excellent result, even without liposuction. Of course, you will need an in-person consultation to evaluate you for this procedure. Preoperative visualization and surgical simulation with the Crisalix system may help with your decision. I suggest that you find a board-certified plastic surgeon with whom you are comfortable. Be sure to have all of your questions answered during a face-to-face meeting with your surgeon, and review before and after pictures of patients who have had similar procedures. Good luck!
