Can Lipo of Back, and Armpits Help Reduce Your Overall Breast Fat/size?

Question

Hi Doctors! I am having lipo of back, flanks, abdomen, waist and armpits and want to reduce the overall size of my upper body. I dont want to go to the extent of breast reduction surgery. I am a 36DD since I gained 20 or 30 pounds and now I feel like my breasts are just a little too large for my frame - will the lipo in the surrounding regions help to reduce the breast size a little, without actually disturbing the breast tissue? Thanks

The answer to your question really depends on what you are hoping to achieve.  Yes, it is possible to decrease the size of your upper body by performing lipo.  But that being said, I cannot comment as to how your bra will fit since the breast size and shape will not be affected.

Hello and
thank you for your question.
Having lipo in the surrounding
regions will not help reduce the size of your breasts. If you feel that your
breast are too large for your frame, you may be a good candidate for a breast
reduction procedure. I recommend seeking out a board certified plastic surgeon
so that he/she may provide you with professional advice.Best of luck to you
