Pros/cons to side lipo after breast reduction?

January 25, 2025
Asked By:phaceplant in Sanger, California

I recently had breast reduction surgery and the surgeon did pull some scars back a bit but opted not to do lipo on the sides. He did do it on the armpits. It is still early but I’m feeling the bra bulge and wondering if we should have done side lipo. Is it possible to do side lipo post breast reduction and what are the pros and cons to this. Can if cause further complications?
