Liposuction offers scar less breast reduction

Many women want to have their breasts enlarged and have made breast augmentations the number on cosmetic surgery in the U.S. But there is a flip-side and there are numerous women who have very large breasts, which can cause neck, shoulder and back pain. While some women want to make their breasts larger others are seeking out plastic surgeons to help reduce the size of their breasts.

Liposuction as a breast reduction method is growing in popularity and offers the patient a scar less alternative to traditional breast reduction.  Plastic surgeons use small cannulas to insert in the breast which leaves two very small scars on each breast.

Since the breasts are mostly fat liposuction is an ideal procedure to reduce the size of breasts to alleviate the physical problems associated with very large breasts. The recovery time is much quicker than the traditional method of breast reduction.

One issue a patient may have is sagging skin, which can be addressed after the patient heals from the liposuction. Not all patients have to the problem of sagging skin as the skin can sometimes tighten one the fat is removed.

Liposuction is not only effective in reducing breast size but it can also help people eliminate fat in areas that have been resistant to diet and exercise. As a minimally invasive procedure liposuction has grown on popularity and gives a person the opportunity to have the body they really want.
