I just had my first consultation and my Dr. said he prefers to use liposuction to get a slimmer look to the sides of the breast. He also said this would result in smaller incision scars. This would also be an additional $3000. A friend of mine who has had breast surgery as well as a tummy tuck said that sometimes lipo can result in sagging skin and that the larger scar under my arms would be hardly noticeable once healed. Any opinions would be great. I'm 30 and currently a 34 J
Answer: Liposuction/Breast Augmentation Combination -- DO VASER HI DEF I have done this procedure many times with myself and a plastic surgeon. I do HI def body contouring and the surgeon will do the lift/implant at the same time. This will give you the best results. I suggest you see an expert who works with other surgeons at the same time to get your best results and can formally evaluate you to see if you are a candidate. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Breast Reduction Techniques Becky. Hard to answer without photos, but generally speaking, Lateral breast fullness best treated with direct excision and removal of redundant skin(your friend was right!). There are various techniques to accomplish this. Be sure to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Good Luck!

Answer: Is liposuction during a breast reduction the best way to reduce bulk at the side and under the arms? Congratulations on your decision to proceed with breast reduction surgery; this operation tends to be one of the most patient pleasing operations be performed. The answer to your question is: it depends. For some patients, liposuction surgery alone does a very nice job when it comes to contouring the lateral chest wall areas. For other patients, who have significant amount of redundant skin and/or loss of skin elasticity in the lateral chest wall areas, direct excision of the excess skin AKA lipectomy (usually an extension of the breast reduction procedure) plus/minus liposuction surgery may be necessary. My best advice: select your plastic surgeon very carefully. Then, communicate your goals/concerns carefully as well. Working together you will come up with a good plan to achieve the desired outcome. Best wishes.

Answer: Liposuction lateral breasts Either liposuction or dermolipectomy of the lateral breast can be the preferred choice depending on your shape and expectations. A photo may help in suggesting what may be more suitable for you, but the suggestion of surgeon who has examined you will be of more use to you.

Answer: Liposuction vs skin removal Thank you for your question. The decision to perform liposuction vs skin removal really depends on whether there is any excess skin in the area. Do you have a roll of skin and fat that hangs over on the sides of your chest extending out from your breasts? If so, you may need the incision to be taken out further to the side. However, if you simply have fullness in the area without excess skin, then liposuction may be the best answer. Without photos or an in-person evaluation, we cannot make recommendations for you. Best wishes!
