Ever Heard Of Breast Liposuction? Learn How It Works.

For those women who want to have smaller breasts

, traditional breast reduction surgery may not be the only option. Many people don't realize that alternatives exist that are worth consideration. Breast liposuction is one such alternative. Reading this article can give you some idea of what breast liposuction entails.

Women interested in breast surgery of any kind must first have a mammogram to determine the health of the breast.

This is especially important if a routine self-exam reveals a lump in the breast. Cosmetic surgery cannot be done to the breast if there is any risk of breast cancer.

Once breast cancer has been ruled out, there are a few factors that determine who can have liposuction. It's not for everyone.

Liposuction is most effective for people who are very healthy and are within a healthy weight range. Most major health conditions disqualify a person from being able to have liposuction.

It is also important to consider some specifics about the fat removal. Where a person wants to have the fat removed and how much are factors that can determine both how safe and how effective the surgery will be.

A lot of variation exists between individuals, and some women have breasts that are more suitable for liposuction than others.

In order for fat to be easily removed from the breasts, the fat must be superficial, meaning that it is soft and close to the surface of the skin. Some women have more fibrous fat of the breasts, and this makes it too dangerous and time-consuming.

It is dangerous because the breasts contain a lot of glandular and mammary tissues that are easily damaged. It can sometimes be too difficult to get at the fat without harming the surrounding tissue.

To get an idea of whether or not you're a good candidate, it's a good idea to go in for a free consultation with a liposuction surgeon.

Given that you are a good candidate for the surgery, here are a few things you can expect on the day of the surgery.

Patient and doctor sit down to discuss all of the risks associated with liposuction and the patient must sign a consent form.

Once that is done, the surgeon will mark the area of the breast where the patient wants to have the fat removed.

After this is done, the breasts are injected with anesthetics and other medications including antibiotics to fight possible infections and epinephrine to minimize bleeding.

Tiny incisions are made and a microcannula is inserted. It is moved around to break up fat cells and then suck them out.

Because the microcannula is so small, the incisions are impressively small. They do not require stitches and leave scars that are almost invisible.

Although there is some pain for the first few days, it is nothing that requires anything but over the counter pain medication.
