Liposuction Breast Reduction Surgery
The many issues that women with large breasts face can make life not only difficult, but painful as well. Large breasts can cause a number of problems including neck, back and shoulder pain, skin rashes, poor posture and even hunchback. Breast reduction through Tumescent Liposuction can reduce the size of the breasts by as much as 50%. Typical results are a reduction in breast size of 20% to 50%. Breast reduction surgery, or mammoplasty, can be a very extensive plastic surgery procedure that requires a significant amount of recovery time. The tumescent liposuction breast reduction is far less invasive and has a much shorter recovery period.
This procedure is done under a local anesthetic. Not only does it significantly reduce the size of the breasts, it also results in a moderate breast lift. Microcannulas are used to perform the breast surgery. Fat is removed through these cannulas, and the size of the breast is reduced. Very small incisions are made, most of which do not produce visible scarring. In fact, most evidence of the incisions are gone within a few months, although patients with darker skin may have some minor pigmentation changes that remain visible. There is a minimal risk of complications compared to those with a surgical excision breast reduction. Most patients that have this procedure done are able to return to work within two to three days.
Tumescent liposuction breast reduction is not for all women. Ideal candidates are those who have a large amount of fatty tissue in the breasts. Women who have gone through menopause often have a larger proportion of fat in the breasts as opposed to teenagers. Post-menopausal women are often good candidates for liposuction breast reduction surgery. Realistic expectations are important. This surgery does not reshape the breasts or change the nipples in anyway such as inverted nipples or large nipples, it simply makes them smaller and can provide relief from the pain and discomfort of having large breasts.
