The Challenge
Many women are reluctant to have their overly large breasts reduced because of the scarring caused by traditional procedures. However, decreasing the size of the breasts with liposuction serves a woman’s goal to have her breasts reduced without the scars of the classic breast reduction methods, with a quicker procedure and less healing time.
The Dr. Shuster Approach
Dr. Shuster often performs the breast reduction with liposuction alone with very good results. This technique is not for every patient, but it is an excellent option for the right candidates. Compared to traditional breast reduction, a liposuction breast reduction is virtually scarless with a much shorter recovery period and fewer possible complications. Dr. Shuster performs a breast reduction with liposuction by injecting the breasts with tumescent solution to provide some pain relief and diminish any bleeding during surgery. Two very small incisions, about 6 millimeters long, are made in each breast and liposuction is performed to remove excess fatty tissue while preserving the nerves and blood vessels. When the sufficient amount is extracted, the incisions are closed. Symmetry between the two breasts is easily maintained by liposuctioning the exact same amount from either breast.
Traditional Breast Reduction
A more conventional breast reduction combines reducing the volume with a lift, which causes scarring due to the removal of sagging skin. With a liposuction-only approach, volume is reduced without excising any skin, leaving the breasts practically free of post-surgical scars. However, a liposuction breast reduction only targets extra fat in the breasts and does not address sagging that may be occurring.
