Liposuction Breast Reduction

Liposuction has become the most common body contouring procedure in cosmetic surgery over the past two decades. Liposuction has increased in its safety and effectiveness which has increased its popularity. Before liposuction, the only method of fat removal was through surgical removal which was associated with significant blood loss and prominent scarring. Liposuction is a minimally invasive method of removing fat deposits with minimal scarring.

Many surgeons note during traditional breast reduction that the breasts of many women with mammary enlargement are predominantly fatty in nature. Despite this fact, liposuction as a main method to reduce large breasts has been slow to gain acceptance as a valid treatment option. Many plastic surgeons have previously believed that using liposuction to reduce large breasts could increase the risk of breast ptosis or dropping. Traditional breast reduction is accompanied by tightening of the breast skin at the expense of an increased scar burden. Liposuction results in the ability of surgeons to reduce large breasts without significant scars. Liposuction breast reduction also allows for a much quicker recovery compared with traditional surgical breast reduction and with fewer complications. Liposuction breast reduction is not for everyone but understanding the pros and cons of breast reduction with liposuction will allow many patients to benefit than was previously the case.

Many women dislike their larger breasts and therefore consider breast reduction surgery (mammoplasty). In some instances, they will cause physical pain including back and neck pain. For others, they appear out of proportion to the rest of their body. Many may find them aesthetically unappealing and have trouble finding a bra and clothing which will fit properly and comfortably.

For women who do not wish to continue to have larger breasts, you may wish to undergo a breast reduction. However, there are other options than surgical breast reduction. You can also opt to have a breast reduction with liposuction for smaller degrees of breast reduction which avoids the scars of traditional breast reduction surgery.

Traditional breast reduction surgery involves numerous incisions which allow the surgeon to excise the skin and remove excess breast tissue and fat. However, many women do not wish to undergo such an invasive procedure, particularly one that will leave prominent, visible scars on the breast.

Fortunately, breast reduction with liposuction is a suitable alternative. This option involves smaller incisions and a quicker recovery time. This procedure is treated as outpatient surgery, meaning you will be able to leave the same day as the procedure.

So glad I went with centre for surgery, the whole process went very smoothly from the consultations down to the actual day of the procedure. I was so nervous on the day but the whole team put me at ease and I’m happy with my results as I feel a lot more comfortable wearing certain clothes now. My surgeon was Alberto Di Giuseppe who performed a breast Augmentation on me, and I would definitely recommend as he was very clear on what the outcome of the surgery would be and which size would look the best for my frame.

This was overall a great experience, all the staff at Centre for Surgery were friendly and put me at ease. It is a nerve wracking thing to go through an op but the staff were so nice. Mr Ertan has got a great team around him. On the day of the operation everything went smoothly to plan, there was no delay or holdups, I had another consultation with Mr Ertan who confirmed what was going to be done and that I was still happy to proceed. I was prepped for the procedure, I met with the anaesthetist who again was really nice and put me at ease explaining his role. After the procedure I woke up with the nurse by my side making sure I was OK and checking on me, I was able to stay in the clinic until I was ready to leave and was not rushed at all. I was well looked after from the start to the point when I was discharged. Post operation I was staying at a local hotel it was so close there was no point in even getting a taxi and I was able to walk back where my partner was waiting for me. I was expecting a lot of bruising to both my eyes but there was very little if any by the time the cast came off after 7 days, I am now at the two week post operation point and it is healing well with no outwardly visible bruising or scaring. The next milestone is a checkup at the 6 week point with my surgeon. If you're thinking of having something like this done I would highly recommend getting in touch with Centre for Surgery.

I would just like to state the quality of care received from the nurses at Centre for Surgery was beyond the highest level. Sophie takes her patient care to another level beyond words. She always puts me at ease. She is there for me even at awkward hours just when I mostly needed reassurance and she is one of the most compassionate nurses I have come across and demonstrates her passion naturally for caring for others. She totally deserves recognition at its finest and thank you for always being there for me. 😍

Breast reduction with liposuction may sound appealing, but it may not be a suitable procedure for all women.

This procedure will be suitable for those who:

• Do not require a breast lift
• Do not require a large amount of fat and tissue to be removed
• Would like less visible scarring
• Are in their 40s or above

Those who are in their 20s or 30s may not be suitable candidates. Breast reduction by liposuction removes fat from the breasts, which is more apparent in women who are older. This is because breast tissue becomes replaced with fat as we naturally age. Therefore women in their 20s and 30s will not have much fat to remove but will have more breast tissue. Women in this age group who would like a breast reduction may wish to choose the surgical options.

If you are considered to be a normal candidate, you may be interested in what finance we have available.

At Centre for Surgery, we strongly believe that the success of any procedure including liposuction breast reduction can be improved with proper patient preparation. We strive to go above and beyond to make sure that all our patients are prepared as well as possible for surgery – physically, mentally and emotionally.

Before your breast reduction, you will need to:

• Stop smoking a few weeks before your surgery
• Avoid taking blood-thinning medication, aspirin and herbal supplements
• Undergo a medical evaluation
• You may need to have a baseline mammogram to detect any future changes in breast tissue

What tests may I need before surgery?

Scheduling a Mammogram prior to your breast reduction with liposuction

A mammogram is an x-ray examination which may be performed before or after your procedure to identify any changes to breast tissue. If you have a personal or family history of breast cancer or any other risk factors for breast cancer, your surgeon may recommend a baseline mammogram to be be done before your procedure.

Before having a breast reduction with liposuction, you will be required to attend a consultation with the surgeon. They will be able to assess whether or not you are an appropriate candidate for this procedure, or whether you would benefit from surgical breast reduction. The surgeon may also warn about the risks of travelling abroad for cosmetic surgery.

Surgical breast reduction generally involves incisions around the areolas and down to the breast crease, which allows the excess skin and tissue to be excised.

However, breast reduction with liposuction involves far smaller incisions. The surgeon will make two small incisions at the crease of the breasts. These will only be about one millimetre long. This allows for a small cannula to be inserted, which sucks out the excess fatty tissue. The removal of the excess fat from the breasts allows the elastic skin and tissue to retract, creating a natural breast lift.

Nerves and blood vessels will be maintained during the procedure. Breast reduction with liposuction will also be able to fix any asymmetry problems experienced prior to surgery.

As opposed to a surgical breast reduction, you will have a quicker recovery time with liposuction breast reduction.

You may still experience some swelling and bruising where the incisions have been made. You may wish to take pain medication or apply ice packs to the area to help reduce swelling.

You will be given a compression garment which you will need to wear during the recovery period. This will help to reduce swelling and keep your breasts in the best possible shape.

The scars where the incisions were made may be more visible straight after surgery, however, with time they will fade and will no longer be noticeable.
