I am 46 yrs old, 5'7, 140 lbs with 36 G breasts. I was always curvy but my breasts have taken over. It seemed to occur with my last pregnancy 5 yrs ago. Weight loss has not done a darn thing and I am very uncomfortable. Supportive bras hurt! I would like a breast reduction but cannot afford the down time. Is there an option for de-bulking that does not require major surgery? I am not concerned with shape and projection. I just want to be reasonably comfortable and closer to a C cup again.
Answer: Breast reduction Given all of the advances in minimally invasive plastic surgery, you would think that someone has come up with a way to do a breast reduction without a major operation. Unfortunately, that is not the case. The only way to reduce breast size is with surgery- and with that surgery comes the recovery period. I can tell you that for adults, the most common postoperative complaint that i hear is "I wish I had done this years ago!!" Breast reduction surgery can really be a life changer, allowing for easier activity, easier weight loss, and much better comfort. I wish there was a less invasive way to go about things, but I recommend that you see a Board Certified plastic surgeon to discuss your situation- recovery may not be as difficult as you imagine.Best wishes,Dr. L

CONTACT NOW Answer: Minimally invasive breast reduction There are a number of different techniques that are commonly used for breast reduction surgery and some of these have less scarring than others. Although I don't see any photos, if your goal is to reduce from a G cup to a C cup I would guess that the lesser procedures would be inadequate for you. The least invasive breast reduction would be through liposuction but it is highly unlikely that a sufficient amount of fat could be removed to achieve your goals.

Answer: Breast Reduction Hello,This is not a major surgery. Liposuction can debulk a fatty breast, but rarely is it reliable or does it produce anything attractive. A true breast reduction is a surgery that reliably reduces the breast in volume while simultaneously lifting the breast into an attractive form. Most patients have very little discomfort and many are driving and able to go to work in two to three days. Go visit a few ABPS certified/ASAPS member surgeons that specialize in breast surgery.Best of luck!
