This is a fairly major surgical option that is performed by a plastic surgeon in an outpatient medical facility under either a general or local anesthetic. The patient will need to plan on time off of work for recovery and several weeks to a couple of months before returning to a regular regime of physical activity.Liposuction is not quite as extensive of a procedure. There are also fewer risks than with the reduction mammaplasty, such as loss of the nipple's nerve sensation or difficulty with future breastfeeding. In a liposuction procedure, small incisions are made in the areas of excess fatty deposits and a slender tube called a cannula is inserted. Depending on the method, a salt water tumescent fluid is often injected...more
