Breast Reduction By Liposuction FAQ’s

What is breast reduction by liposuction?

Dr Najem’s procedure helps to:

• Remove fat from the breast without leaving long scars;
• Reduce the weight of heavy breasts;
• Elevate the breasts and tighten the skin without cutting any of it away.

Women with large breasts (usually size D to G) often experience a significant amount of discomfort and pain in the neck, shoulders or back. Most women choose this procedure to alleviate this pain or improve the appearance of over-sized or sagging breasts.

How does Dr Najem perform a reduction with liposuction?

The tumescent technique allows Dr Najem to fill the fat with diluted anaesthetic, which softens it and makes it more even. This means that instead of cutting away parts of the breast, he is able to easily remove the softened excess tissue and fat.

Why do patients choose the tumescent procedure over traditional breast reduction?

There are many more advantages to choosing the tumescent procedure:

• The biggest difference is the recovery time. Patients that choose the tumescent procedure tend to recover much faster than those that undergo traditional breast reduction surgery.
• Scarring is minimal with the tumescent procedure, as Dr Najem only needs to make tiny incisions to perform this surgery.
• The tumescent procedure only requires a local anaesthetic, which makes it much safer than traditional breast reduction surgery (as a general anaesthetic is required).
• The tumescent fluid used during surgery functions as both an anaesthetic and an anti-bacterial fluid, meaning that chances of infection are much lower.
• Tumescent fluid also comes with an additional advantage, as the fluid actually helps to seal the blood vessels. This means that there will be a lot less bleeding and significantly less bruising following the procedure.
• The reduction of fat and weight in the breast will leave you with a natural-looking and slightly lifted appearance.

Are you a suitable candidate for a reduction by liposuction?

Over-sized breasts can lead to a number of problems. These issues can be both psychological problems and physical discomfort.

Many women with breasts that are too large experience pain in their joints and back pains; they can also suffer from bad posture and scoliosis.

Liposuction can be performed on girls as young as 12. However, this is rare and the patient will need to have discussed the procedure with a child psychologist. The results of a breast reduction by liposuction vary significantly depending on the patient’s natural form.

Tumescent liposuction can be carried out to remove up to half of the breast, but it is usually those patients that have had children who choose to have the most removed, simply because of the increased levels of fat following childbirth.

Dr Najem will discuss your options with you at your confidential consultation.

He will recommend what might be best for you before you make the final decision on the surgery, as this will allow you to explain your desired results and then tailor the procedure to help you achieve them.
