Breast liposuction reduces the amount of fat in the breast region for both female and male patients. Breast liposuction is much less painful than traditional breast reduction surgery, generally not requiring general anesthetic, and breast liposuction is virtually scarless, while breast reduction surgery usually leaves large anchor shaped scars.

For men, breast liposuction efficiently eliminates excess tissue from the chest area, providing a more sculptured appearance. Many men appreciate breast liposuction because doctors can make the incisions in the crease of the armpit; so that breast liposuction patients have minimal scarring and heal more quickly compared to traditional male breast reduction patients.

Breast liposuction for women holds many of the same advantages as for male patients. Additionally, breast liposuction can actually tighten the skin during tissue removal, lifting the nipple up to an inch. Breast liposuction also greatly reduces scarring, eliminating the "anchor scar"? that results from surgical breast reductions. Most breast liposuction patients also like that their breasts usually retain their original shape in this procedure. Skilled breast liposuction surgeons can easily remove the same amount of breast tissue in a breast liposuction as can be removed in a surgical reduction.

Men and women who are interested in learning about breast liposuction should consult a plastic surgeon qualified to perform this procedure. A good breast liposuction practitioner will readily answer questions and explain the procedure thoroughly, helping people determine if breast liposuction is right for them.
