Breast Liposculpture

An alternative to major breast reduction surgery, Breast Liposculpture can reduce breast volume 30 to 50 percent, without the long scars and longer recovery time. The procedure is an excellent choice for women (or men) who want to reduce their breast size, but are generally satisfied with the shape of the breast and its degree of overhang. Essentially, Breast Liposculpture is a form of breast fat removal, using a thin cannula (tube) to safely remove excess fat from the breast tissue. Because this tube is so small, the procedure requires very tiny incision points, rather than the longer internal cuts that lead to noticeable scarring. For similar reasons, tumescent liposculture procedures such as this can be performed with a local anesthetic, removing the risk factors that general anesthesia can bring.

Breast Liposculpture is great for reducing breast volume and related back strain. However, patients should understand that nipple positioning is not a part of this procedure, and the final size of the reduced breasts is more difficult to predict, as well. In some cases, symmetry can become a problem. For these concerns, a traditional breast reduction surgery may be a patient's wiser choice.
