Scarless Breast Reduction (SBR)
Scarless breast reduction is an option available to men and women who want a reduction in the size and weight of the breasts.
Scarless breast reduction is performed with liposuction reducing the size of the breasts with minimal or no visible scarring.
Am I a candidate for “Scarless” Breast Reduction?
Ideal candidates for “Scarless” Breast Reduction are women and men seeking a significant reduction in breast size without unattractive scars and a prolonged recovery period. While it does not result in as much lift as a traditional reduction, patients do achieve some lifting of the breasts.
The Procedure
The scarless breast reduction procedure takes about one to two hours and is typically performed under a tumescent anesthesia, which renders the treated area completely numb. Mild sedation is also administered for a painless, comfortable experience. A very small incision is hidden in the crease below the breast; through this incision, a thin surgical tube is used to suction out excess fatty breast tissue. The procedure preserves the nerves and the blood vessels, reducing the chance of loss of sensation in the nipple.
A complimentary consultation with the doctor will include a medical history, physical examination, and a discussion about the most appropriate treatment options.
