Is liposuction to female breasts a thing?

6 replies

I would love a breast reduction but a bit terrified of actual surgery so wondered if liposuction would be a good substitute?

I’ve done some research and it all says it is generally used for stomach, thighs, arms and male breasts. No mention of female.

Does anyone have any insider knowledge or experience?

you do realise liposuction is actual surgery as well

Oh god no. What a traumatic thing to do for your breasts :-( I would just keep your general weight the right side of healthy and find a really good bra.

Liposuction is surgery q

Not sure what you're searching but I just searched it and there's tons of info online, even the NHS website. It's called a surgical fat transfer

Sorry yes I do know it is also surgery. Thank you for your replies.

So you would have the same size skin and much less to fill it. I suspect you would end up with skin pouches hanging down with very little breast tissue.

I have had a breast reduction. Little pain (for me but I know some find it painful). Very big reduction from 34 very saggy J cup to a 34 C.

Home the next day and apart from lifting back to normal activities within a couple of days. Bigger than C to start with because of swelling. They were a bit smaller than expected but I needn't have worried as they soon increased to a D, which was fine.

I don't regret it at all and never did, not even when there was a bit of wound pain.
