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

I would not attempt to answer this question without examining you and knowing more. I would continue to follow with your surgeon and your medical doctor.

First & foremost - start by researching Board Certified Plastic Surgeons in your area. It is very important to choose a qualified Board Certified Plastic Surgeon as there is no substitute for their extensive training in procedures such as Liposuction. Then simply call the office and inquire....
Lipo in the neck of a 42 year old, done reasonably well, will generally not create a significant amount of loose skin. One can, however, develop loose skin in the next ten years as a part of the normal aging process and not due to the previous lipo. Best of luck.
