It might not seem obvious to some, but liposuction of the female breasts is a fairly common procedure. While some women want nothing more than a little more up top, others find that being too large causes their cups to run over with a different set of problems. More and more women are turning to liposuction for relief from these problems.
Excessively large breasts can lead to a host of problems. Many women feel awkward, uncomfortable or objectified because of their large breasts. But excessively large breasts don't only lead to psychological problems; they can lead to problems that are physical. If a woman's breasts are too large and heavy, they can cause large-scale shifts in posture and adversely affect spinal health. The work of carrying excessively heavy breasts can lead to pain throughout the shoulders, neck and back. Heavy breasts can also cause shoulder problems by pushing the bra painfully and constantly into a woman's back. Unusually large breasts make it difficult to find clothing and undergarments that fit properly and comfortably, and they can severely hamper a woman's ability to be athletically active.
For women who struggle with these problems, liposuction can help dramatically. A Liposuction breast reduction can remove up to 50% of a woman's breast mass, which can help alleviate breast-related back pain. As a side bonus, it can also frequently help to lift the breasts, thereby improving their aesthetic appeal. The removal of excess breast weight allows the breast's natural elastic properties to kick in and help elevate the breast.
Liposuction frequently proves less invasive than other methods of breast reduction. It is performed with very small hollow needles called "cannulas." These cannulas suction the fat out of the breasts, and they require only very small incisions. These tiny incisions, which are only about 1 millimeter long, leave scars that are typically virtually invisible. Liposuction of the breast can typically be performed under local anesthesia, and it carries with it a much smaller chance of serious damage to the breast than other methods.
It is, however, important to have health and realistic expectations. Liposuction of the breast will not in and of itself produce supermodel breasts. One's breasts tend to be about the same shape after the procedure as they were before it, although they are smaller and are frequently somewhat elevated. One should also realize that not every woman is a candidate for liposuction breast reduction. Liposuction can only remove fat, not glandular tissue. Some women have large amounts of glandular tissue spread throughout their breasts, which makes it difficult to remove the fat. Women with a significant family history of breast cancer should think very carefully before undergoing elective cosmetic surgery on their breasts. Such women should also be sure to be completely honest with their cosmetic surgeon regarding this family history.
If you would like to know more about liposuction breast reduction, please visit with a surgeon in your area. Many surgeons offer free consultations to potential clients, and these can be an invaluable resource if you communicate honestly and freely with the surgeon. In the end, though, the decision is yours and yours alone.
