Los Angeles Breast Reduction -
Scarless Breast Reduction Technique

<<back to before & after main menu

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.
