Say goodbye to back pain with breast reduction
BREAST LIPOSUCTION
Breast size reduction without the full breast reconstruction.
Reduce excess fat in the breast and improve your quality of life without an invasive surgical procedure or full reconstruction. Imagine no more back pain! With breast size primarily determined by genetics, most women are left unhappy with the size and volume of their chest.
Unfortunately, overly large breasts can lead to back pain, neck pain and headaches that can drastically hinder your quality of life. Visually, the excess breast tissue in heavy breasts can cause breast asymmetry or an unflattering breast crease. These adverse flow-on effects of enlarged breasts cause many women to seek a reduction through plastic surgery.
Our doctor can remove the excess fat in this area.

Breast Reduction Liposuction Post Op
Breast liposuction involves removing excess fat, specifically from your breasts. During this procedure, you’ll be put under twilight sedation. Liposuction is then performed through small incisions in your skin. A thin tube, called a cannula, is inserted through the incisions and used to break up the fat cells and suction them out of your body. Post-treatment, you will be wrapped in a compression garment to help reduce swelling.
After the procedure, you’ll be given post-operative care instructions to follow based on the medical history and individual patient circumstances discussed in your first consultation. Specific recovery instructions may include wearing a compression garment, avoiding strenuous activity, and taking pain medication as needed. During this post-operative time, you may feel some physical discomfort or skin irritation.
Most people take about two weeks off from work to recover. You should not have any problem driving or returning to your normal activities after that time. After four to six weeks, you will likely see the full results of your breast liposuction surgery.
Frequently Asked
Traditionally, mammoplasty (breast reduction surgery) was the only treatment used for breast reduction. However, as with any invasive surgery, a reduction mammoplasty requires a general anaesthetic and long recovery times with permanent scarring. Developments in tumescent liposuction techniques give an alternative to this invasive surgery.
Tumescent liposuction removes only the excess fat in the breast and therefore doesn’t require surgical reconstruction from a plastic surgeon. This cosmetic surgery alternative can be performed at an accredited day surgery (like our Melbourne clinic) with a local anaesthetic, reducing hospital fees.
It’s a common question, and the answer is yes, but it’s important to understand that liposuction only targets fat cells and not breast tissue. In your consultation with the cosmetic doctor, we can determine whether the breast has excessive fat deposits that can be removed. We get all patients to undergo an ultrasound/mammogram to ensure the procedure is safe and suitable for them. If the breast is made up predominantly of breast tissue then you will not be a good candidate for breast liposuction. The best way to find out if you’re a good candidate for the procedure is to consult with our team, who will evaluate your individual case and help you make an informed decision about your body.
Liposuction has been performed for years and is considered a safe and effective way to remove excess fat from various body areas, including the breasts. Because liposuction only removes fat, it can be a good option for women who want to reduce their breast size without losing skin or breast tissue. Liposuction can also help contour the breasts, giving them a more pleasing shape.
It’s important to note that all surgery carries some risk. However, with liposuction, these risks are typically minor and can be effectively managed by an experienced surgeon. Overall, liposuction is a safe and effective way to reduce breast size.
Although liposuction can reduce the overall size of the breasts, it does not remove all of the breast tissue. Liposuction only removes fat, not glandular tissue or milk ducts. As a result, liposuction will not affect a woman’s ability to produce milk or breastfeed. In addition, liposuction does not usually cause significant changes in nipple sensation. However, as with any surgery, there is always a risk of complications, so it’s important to talk to your doctor about the potential risks and benefits before undergoing any cosmetic surgery.
In addition to its cosmetic benefits, liposuction can also be used to treat medical conditions such as gynecomastia (enlarged male breasts). Liposuction can help to reduce pain and improve appearance in these cases. If you are considering breast liposuction for cosmetic or medical reasons, it’s important to consult with an appropriately qualified health practitioner to discuss your goals and expectations for the procedure.
