I have Breast Reduction surgery in about two weeks. I am debating on the Liposuction that was recommended at the same time. If I don't have Liposuction done, can I get similar results through diet and exercise?
Answer: Liposuction during breast reduction. Hi, Thank you for your question. Liposuction is not necessary for every breast reduction procedure. It depends on the type of procedure being done and on the patient. A lot of times it is highly recommended because it helps the lateral side areas of the breast look flatter and better. Usually we do not charge extra and I usually always do liposuction for breast contouring laterally. This of course, does not include liposuction of back rolls or extensions. You should consult with your plastic surgeon to see why he is recommending lipo and go from there. Certain areas can be very stubborn so sometimes diet and exercise arent enough. If it is a money issue, I would not compromise results and what is best for you because of the cost. Best regards, Dr. Speron

CONTACT NOW Answer: Simultaneous Liposuction and Breast Reduction Surgery Both liposuction and breast surgery are considered cosmetic treatments, meaning that neither are medically necessary procedures but are instead performed to heighten a patient’s appearance and self-esteem. No cosmetic treatment, including liposuction, is “necessary” and you should never feel pressured by a surgeon to opt in for additional surgery should you be uncomfortable with the idea. That being said, liposuction and breast surgery are very often combined in a single surgical sitting to enhance an aging body in the quickest, most effective way. If this is something you are considering, I recommend consulting with at least two or three board certified surgeons in your area to get a professional, personalized opinion on your possible cosmetic treatment.

Answer: Liposuction breast reduction Liposuction doesn't have to be performed, but if your surgeon suggested it, you should ask why. Generally, it can achieve a better reduction that's less invasive, so you can recover faster. It may help to reshape your breasts as well. Exercise and diet can help, but there's no way of knowing how you'll lose the weight since you can't spot reduce. LIposuction is the only way to spot reduce fat.

Answer: Liposuction not necessary but can improve contour 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.

Answer: Breast Reduction and Liposuction?
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.
