Is Liposuction Necessary During Breast Reduction Surgery?

Liposuction breast reduction can decrease the size of breasts if they are comprised mainly of fatty tissue. However, if you have excess glandular tissue, then traditional breast reduction would be better for you. You would have to see an experience board certified plastic surgeon to determine which technique is right for you.

Thank you for the question.

Liposuction is not “necessary”,  can be a useful tool, during breast reduction surgery. One area that often benefits from liposuction surgery is the lateral chest wall ( below the axilla). My suggestion would be to allow your plastic surgeon to use whatever tool necessary to achieve the best results possible.

Best wishes.
