Scarless Breast Reduction Los Angeles
For scarless breast reduction procedures, Sunset Cosmetic
Surgery now offers a unique liposculpting technique that may replace
traditional breast reduction surgery with a scarless breast reduction
technique in many cases.
Am I a candidate for this Los Angeles breast reduction technique? The best candidates for scarless Los Angeles breast reduction
are women who: Have good
skin tone and minimal sagging Would like
to have lighter, smaller, more youthful-looking breasts without
scars or prolonged recovery. Are more
interested in a reduction in the size of their breasts
as opposed to wanting to reshape and/or lift their breasts. Have breasts
that contain a large proportion of fat. If your breasts have more
glandular tissue than fat, a traditional
mammoplasty may be more appropriate. Do not
have pendulous breasts (this usually indicates more glandular tissue
than fat) Are not
thin (thin women tend to have more glandular tissue than fat) Do not
have excessively large breasts (scarless reduction normally provides
a 30-50% reduction in size, or 1-2 cups)
How it Works: Scarless Los Angeles breast reduction reduces
the breasts by removing excess fat. If there is enough elasticity
in the skin, it will retract and produce a visible breast lift,
resulting in a scarless breast reduction. Scarless breast reduction
will produce a smaller version of the breasts that a woman had before
the procedure. The breast's overall shape will be very similar to
their shape before the scarless breast reduction procedure.
Benefits of scarless breast reduction: Less trauma
to the breast (mammograms usually appear normal after the scarless
breast reduction procedure) Reduction
in shoulder and neck pain after the scarless breast reduction Faster
recovery than traditional reductions (and no drains) Less visible
scars than traditional reductions with our scarless breast reduction Fewer postoperative
complications than traditional reductions Natural-looking,
immediate results that improve with time. Since the
fatty tissue is removed with the scarless breast reduction procedure
and the glandular breast tissue remains intact, breastfeeding
is normally not affected by our Los Angeles breast reduction procedure.
Typical Recovery Time after a scarless breast reduction: After
scarless Los Angeles breast reduction, there is a gradual decrease
in postoperative swelling over the subsequent 2-4 months. There
may be temporary lumpiness for several weeks after surgery. This
is not visible and is part of the healing processes. A supportive
garment is worn for several weeks and is not visible under clothing.
Many patients report going back to work in a matter of days after
our scarless breast reduction procedure.
Above
(3 sets): Dr. Svehlak: 50 y.o. had breast reduction via VASER liposuction (minimal incision). Previously, a 36D cup, now a 36C cup. 425cc of lipoaspirate removed from each breast.
Above
(2 sets): Dr. Yamini: Patient went from Bra size of E/DDD down to a
Dwithout any sagging (1 lb. weight reduction in each breast).
Above
(2 sets): Dr. Yamini: Patient went from Bra size of DD to Full C.
Above
(3 sets): Dr. Yamini: Lipo scarless breast reduction and breast lift to reduce breast size and weight, and correct breast asymmetry (right breast was bigger and lower than left). Now they are much closer in size and shape, with only a tiny scar below each breast and virtually no down time.
