The size and shape of a woman’s breasts often have a big impact on her overall body proportions and natural balance. When planning your breast reduction surgery, this is something that you’ll want to keep in mind to help you get the best possible results.
For this reason, you might be considering including liposuction with your breast reduction. Here are two important factors that can help you decide.
The Area of Your Body
In many cases, your plastic surgeon will recommend that you include liposuction in the areas around your breasts as part of your breast reduction procedure. That way, your final results will be smooth and seamless.
On the other hand, many women also consider getting liposuction in other areas of their bodies to help balance out their new curves. While getting liposuction in your hips, waist or thighs at the same time as your breast reduction can complement your results, these areas aren’t as necessary to address as the sides of your chest or back may be.
Your Natural Anatomy
Work closely with your plastic surgeon to get the beautiful, balanced results you’re looking for.
Of course, every woman’s body is different, so what works for one person might not be the best option for someone else. While some small amount of liposuction in the breast area is almost always recommend during breast reduction, whether you want to also address other areas of your body is entirely up to you. If you’re still on the fence, ask your plastic surgeon for his or her professional opinion.
