Tumescant Liposuction of Breasts Leave Sagging Skin?

C
ClairefromAyrAug 31, 2010

Hi there, i have not had any babies yet, so i don't want to risk having breast reduction surgery, which may affect my ability to breast feed. I have heard that reductions can result alot more safely from liposuction, but won't this leave me with sagging breasts?
