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 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!

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: Minimally Invasive Breast Reduction The fact that weight loss did not result in any reduction in breast size tells me that you have mostly glandular breast tissue and very little fat. Going from a G cup to a C cup will require removing a lot of breast tissue and skin. Liposuction is not an option. Please consult with a plastic surgeon to learn about breast reduction surgery. You will feel a whole lot better when your breasts are smaller and more proportional to your body frame.
