Should Liposuction to Side Boobs and Upper Back Be Done During Breast Lift Procedure, No Implant?

Question

Vincent N. Zubowicz, MD · Answer

Concurrent liposuction does not have to be done with a mastopexy or breast reduction but is commonly a part of those procedures when excess fat resides in areas beyond the breast itself.

Robert M. Lowen, MD · Answer

This is not a problem. First stage is to do the liposuction with the patient on her stomach, then turn over and do the breast lift. Liposuction of the area lateral to the breast is a good way to make the shape of the breast more defined and attractive.

Gary M. Horndeski, MD · Answer

Depending on the type of lift procedure done, sometimes the excess “side boob” tissue can be used to reshape the breast and should not be discarded.  However, the upper position of your back can be done simultaneously if indicated.

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

This may be reasonable, and this should be safe from medical and blood supply standpoint with the right surgeon.  Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of breast lifts and liposuction procedures each year.  Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results.

It is not unusual to combine procedures.  It is actually more cost effective to the patient to do so.
