I am 45yo with DDD breasts that have been bothering me for years. I have a phobia of general anesthesia which has kept me from seeking a traditional breast reduction. I’m at my whit’s end with these heavy knockers and would love to hear from some doctors who have performed breast Lipo under light/twilight sedation. I have scattered fibroglandular breast tissue, and am 5’3” 150lbs, menopausal and finding weight exceptionally hard to shift now and breast tissue much bigger than 10 years ago.
Answer: Breast reduction in twilight anesthesia Breast reduction (liposuction assisted or traditional) may be done in twilight and local anesthesia. Whether it is the way your surgeon/anesthesiologys would do it is an issue to be discussed with your surgon ahead of surgery. Good luck.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Liposuction for breast reduction Liposuction alone for breast reduction is not going to work good. Just imagine removing the stuffing from a pillow and what it is going to look like. You would need a classic breast reduction done under general anesthesia. to look the best. If given properly by the right person and at the right place, general anesthesia is extremely safe.

Answer: Liposuction breast reduction Liposuction can be an effective method of reducing breasts and can be done with oral sedation and local tumescent anaesthesia. Also, given the fact you are perimenopausal, you can achieve significant success as the proportion of the tissue will be far as opposed to gland which cannot be aspirated with liposuction. Having said that, given the size of your breasts, a formal reduction will be more effective in rejuvenating the breast as the ptosis will be addressed as well as size reduction. I perform reduction by numbing the breast with a light propofol drip so no need for intubation or deep gas anesthesia minimising postoperative pain and nausea. All factors to be considered. Thank you for sharing.

Answer: Liposuction breast reduction The issue with liposuction of the breasts is that you are essentially deflating the breasts as you remove the fat. Because of this, liposuction of the breast is best used when the volume to be reduced is mild and you have good skin elasticity. Also, liposuction doe not reposition your nipple so if your breast as started to fall below the level of your inframammary fold, you will probably not love the look of your breasts after the procedure. Without knowing what your breasts look like it is hard to determine what the right treatment would be however breast reductions can be performed with twilight sedation without the need for general anesthesia.

Answer: Liposuction for breast reduction Hello and thank you for your question! Yes, it is possible to have liposuction-only breast reduction! The reason this procedure is not more popular is for several reasons: 1) insurance usually does not cover this technique: 2) liposuction removes only fatty tissue and not skin; therefore depending on skin quality, there may be more/looser sagging skin after lipo-only breast reduction vs traditional breast reduction which removes skin, fatty tissue and glandular tissue; 3) liposuction is not good at removing dense glandular tissue, so for women with very dense breasts, liposuction may have more limited reduction power. The best advice is to seek in-patient consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to see if this technique may be right for you.
