How is Breast Reduction Using Liposuction Alone?

April 23, 2025 | By admin

What Is Liposuction-Only Breast Reduction

In contrast to traditional breast-reduction surgery, where glandular tissue and skin are surgically removed, liposuction is less invasive. This is a cosmetic surgery procedure in which the breasts of a woman are reduced through liposuction only.

The Procedure

Breast reduction with the consent of the patient with the use of liposuction only as a procedure is performed with the following steps:

Consultation and Planning

During the initial consultation, the surgeon evaluates your breast size, composition, and skin elasticity to determine whether liposuction alone is suitable.

Patients with a higher proportion of fatty tissue in their breasts and good skin elasticity are the best candidates for this procedure.

Small Incisions

Tiny incisions (2-3 mm) are made in inconspicuous areas, such as under the breast crease or around the areola. The exact incisions made depend on the type of technique used by the surgeon. And the technique is usually selected based on several important factors.

     

Fat Removal

To remove excess fat from breasts, a thin cannula (hollow tube) is inserted through the incisions to liquefy and vacuum fat. Precision is achieved through the use of advanced liposuction techniques such as tumescent liposuction or power-assisted liposuction.

Shaping

The surgeon shapes the breasts into a reduced, proportionate form with symmetrical contours. This helps create a more balanced look and ensures that the patient can feel confident without hampering her overall look and ability to deal with day-to-day challenges of life.

Closure and Recovery

They typically suture the incisions and place a compression garment over the area to limit swelling and help with healing.

Drawbacks of Liposuction Breast Reduction

Though it provides many advantages, breast reduction with only liposuction is not for everyone. Its limitations include but are not limited to:

Skin Elasticity Is Crucial

Good skin elasticity in the patient is required so that the skin can shrink to fit the new breast volume. In cases where there is limited elasticity, the patient may find themselves sagging years after surgery. If your skin does not have good elasticity, you might want to explore getting a breast reduction with a breast lift. This will ensure that you have smaller, more proportionate, and perkier breasts.

Limited Reduction

Patients who want only moderate breast size reduction will benefit most from liposuction. Liposuction is not ideal for huge breasted individuals who are looking to get extremely drastic results.

Neglects Glandular Tissue

Liposuction is designed to only extract fatty tissue, not glandular tissue. But it is not as effective if you have dense, glandular breasts. This is why it is always ideal to consult with a plastic surgeon before deciding on the type of breast reduction procedure that would suit you.

No Skin Removal

For this reason however, patients with significant skin laxity or sagging may still need a traditional breast reduction in order to achieve the best results.

      

Who Is an Ideal Candidate for Liposuction-Only Breast Reduction?

Those best suitable for this procedure will usually have the following characteristics:

  • Breasts are big, with a high percentage of fatty muscles
  • Keeps skin elasticity to allow for decreased breast size
  • Desires to modestly reduce breast size rather than make drastic changes
  • Wishes to undergo a process that requires invasive techniques for a root cause diagnosis
  • Lacks a degree of sagging or asymmetry that demands excision of skin or glandular tissue

Recovery After Breast Reduction Using Liposuction

The recovery process is relatively quick and straightforward compared to traditional breast reduction surgery:

  • Immediate Post-Surgery: Swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort are common in the first few days. Pain medications and compression garments help manage these symptoms.
  • One Week Post-Surgery: Most patients can resume light activities within a week.
  • Two to Four Weeks Post-Surgery: Swelling begins to subside, and patients can return to normal routines, including exercise, with their surgeon’s approval.
  • Final Results: The final breast shape and size become apparent within three to six months as the swelling completely resolves.
