How much should I expect to pay for a scarless breast reduction?

Question

I was looking around for surgeons in my area and came across some advertising about a different approach called scarless breast reduction. There was no information about what it costs or how much recovery time is needed or how many hours it takes or what the safety risk is compared with the regular approach to breast reduction.

The volume can be reduced using liposuction( which is only a few small incisions to gain access), however, it will not lift the nipple, or tighten the skin envelope, and if the breast is more glandular it may not reduce significantly.

I am not aware of scarless breast reduction surgery, unless it means liposuction of breasts -which is possible in certain cases . Liposuction works in fatty breasts and it can reduce the size of breasts somewhat , without lifting them. Liposuction scars are very small and insignificant. Breast reduction surgery is the most popular method of reducing the size of large , heavy , sagging breasts . This typically involves scar around nipple a vertical scar extending down to inframammary crease and a horizontal inframammary crease scar. In some methods horizontal or vertical components of scar can be avoided. But its not possible to do a breast reduction surgery without scars- as far as I know.
