Breast reduction used to be a procedure better known under the name mammoplasty. During the procedure, the surgeon would have to cut out sections of the breast, this lead to having to elevate the nipple and the loose skin. Mammoplasty used to be a very invasive procedure, but this has changed with the arrival of the tumescent technique.

How Can A Reduction Be Executed With Liposuction?

The world of cosmetic surgery changed drastically with the arrival of the tumescent technique. Instead of having to cut out sections of the breast, the tumescent technique enabled the surgeon to fill the fat with diluted anaesthetic which will not only numb the area, but also make the fat softer and more even. This allows the surgeon to easily remove excess tissue and fat.

Once the tumescent technique proved useful in other areas of the body, Dr Lanzer became a worldwide pioneer in using the tumescent method for breast reduction. He eventually presented his findings to the American Academy of Dermatologists and the Australian College of Dermatology. The procedure became very popular worldwide and over the course of time Dr Lanzer has helped thousands of patients with this specific procedure.

When Do People Opt For A Reduction By Liposuction?

Even though a full female breast is associated with femininity, breasts that are to large can pose a number of problems for women. Not only can too large breasts provide women with psychological difficulties, it can also lead to plenty of physical discomfort. Many women who have breasts that are too large often suffer from joint pains, bad posture, back pains and even scoliosis.

Liposuction can be an effective treatment for hyperplasia. The procedure can be performed on women of all ages, depending on the severity of the case. Dr Lanzer has executed this procedure on girls as young as 12, however, in these rare cases the patient will need to have consulted a child psychologist. In combination with the view of the child psychologist, Dr Lanzer may opt to proceed with a breast reduction Surgery procedure.

How Many Sizes Can I Go Down?

The results of a liposuction breast procedure vary from woman to woman. In general, tumescent liposuction can remove up to half of the breast. Patients who had children are usually able to get their breasts reduced more, simply because the breasts can have more fat after childbirth.

Desired results can be discussed with Dr Lanzer before the start of the procedure. Before you come in for your Melbourne treatment, you will need a consultation to discuss your options and the result you are trying to reach.

Why Should I Choose The Tumescent Procedure Instead Of Traditional Breast Reduction?

The tumescent procedure has a lot more advantages than the traditional reduction procedure. The most noticeable difference between both procedures is definitely the recovery time. Patients who have opted for the tumescent procedure usually recover a lot quicker than patients who opted for traditional breast reduction.

Scarring used to be a problem for traditional  reduction, but this is not the case for breast reductions executed with the tumescent technique. The surgeon only needs to make small incisions to perform this procedure, so it will hardly leave any scarring.

Patients who opt for a tumescent procedure will also find that the breast reduction surgery is considerably safer. Most procedures used to be executed with general anaesthetic, but there is no need for general anaesthetic with tumescent procedures. Given the fact that a tumescent procedure is executed under local anaesthetic, it poses a lot less risk to the patient.

The tumescent fluid used during the procedure also has its own advantages. Not only does it work as an anaesthetic, it is also an anti-bacterial fluid. By using tumescent fluid, chances of infection are reduced drastically. In addition to that, it is also a lot easier for the surgeon to remove the fat, which will only be good for the surrounding tissue.

Tumescent fluid also has one additional advantage that is often forgotten, more specifically the fact that the fluid also seals the blood vessels. By sealing the blood vessels during the procedure, there is a lot less bleeding. Afterwards, patients will also experience a lot less bruising.

Last but not least, choosing the tumescent procedure will also give you a natural looking breast with a slight lift. By reducing the present fat in the breast, the breast will have a slight lift. In short, with a tumescent procedure you get loads of advantages through one minimal procedure.

Advantages Of The Tumescent Method:

• Rapid recovery time
• Only tiny incisions are made which virtually leave no significant scarring
• The area is numb so for patients that do not require a general anaesthetic post surgery and discomfort is reduced.
• An anti-bacterial fluid is used, so the chance of infection is less likely.
• When the weight of the breasts are reduced a natural breast elevation occurs
• Minimal risks and complications after over a decade of practice
• The fat is softened so that it comes out smoothly and evenly, which allows a greater amount of fat to be removed safely.
• The blood vessels are sealed so there is little or no bleeding, smaller chance of wound healing issues and smaller amounts of bruising.

Can I Breast Feed After The Reduction Procedure?

No long-term studies have been conducted to ascertain whether or not all women can breast feed after the procedure. Dr. Lanzer has performed this procedure on a number of patients who were later able to breast feed without any problems.

Will the Breast Sag?

This is the most common concern and the most common misunderstood factor. After liposuction Melbourne the breast becomes smaller and lighter and the small canals formed by the procedure contract and close. As a result the breast move up and become tighter, smaller and elevated. The amount of elevation is determined by how droopy they were to start off with. Dr. Lanzer gives pre surgery guidance on this
Dr. Lanzer can email all patients a detailed consent form which provides information related to the surgery. This information is made available to all patients before surgery, allowing enough time for the patient to ask any questions they may have.

How Long Is The Recovery Time For Reduction Via Liposuction?

The recovery time for tumescent breast reduction surgery procedure is considerably lower than traditional breast reduction. Most patients who leave the clinic only have to wear a special compression garment for a period of two weeks. After these two weeks, the patient is only required to wear the garment part time for another two weeks.

Dr Lanzer recommends not doing any strenuous activities for at least fourteen days. After the initial two week period, patients are able to do some light exercise such as yoga and dance. For more intensive exercise it is recommended to wait at least four weeks. Whenever in doubt, do not hesitate to contact Dr Lanzer.
