Breast Liposuction: What to Expect
Breast liposuction, also known as breast reduction by liposuction, is a minimally invasive alternative to more extensive breast reduction surgeries. This procedure efficiently removes excess fatty tissue from the breasts, resulting in breasts that are smaller and more proportional.
At Liposuction and Cosmetic Surgery Institute, we have provided residents of Chicago, Arlington Heights, Oak Brook, and Naperville with breast augmentation services, including breast liposuction, for many years. Read on to learn more about the procedure and how it can benefit you.
Breast Lipo Overview
During breast lipo, a cosmetic surgeon targets and removes excess fat through a small incision using a cannula. The procedure is usually completed under general anesthesia. This process not only reduces breast size, but may also impart a subtle lift. Although it is not the primary goal of the procedure, many patients are pleased by this slight elevation of the breast.
Benefits of Breast Liposuction
- Permanent fat removal from the breasts
- Fast and effective – typically, only one treatment is required
- Minimal scarring and downtime
At Liposuction and Cosmetic Surgery Institute, we leverage decades of experience to provide you with safe and effective outcomes. Our surgeons specialize in various liposuction techniques, and will tailor your procedure to your unique needs and body goals.
Good Candidates for Breast Liposuction
Ideal candidates are men and women who:
- Are non-smokers
- Are within about 30 percent of their ideal body weight
- Possess elastic skin
Those looking to relieve body pain caused by large breasts are often excellent candidates. Patients on blood thinners or with certain health conditions may need to explore other options.
Recovery and Results
The recovery period associated with breast liposuction is typically swift. Most patients return to normal activities within a few days. Initially, you may experience some bruising and swelling, but these effects usually subside quickly.
Breast reduction results are long-lasting, and many patients enjoy their new contours for years. To maximize your results, try to maintain a healthy lifestyle and consistent weight.
Safety and Risks
Breast liposuction is considered safe. However, there are some risks associated with the procedure. Bruising, swelling, and temporary numbness may persist following surgery. At Liposuction and Cosmetic Surgery Institute, we take comprehensive measures to minimize these risks and ensure your smooth recovery.
