Using a qualified health practitioner can help minimise these risks, which may vary between patients.
Welcome to Ashbrooke Cosmetic Clinic
Liposuction-only breast reduction, also known as liposculpture breast reduction, is an alternative to traditional breast reduction surgery, designed to selectively remove fat with minimal incisions. This approach may result in reduced scarring and a shorter recovery period compared to more extensive procedures; however, potential risks and side effects should be carefully discussed with our team.
Women with large breasts may experience aching neck, back pain, and headaches. A breast reduction may help alleviate these symptoms for some individuals, though outcomes vary. This procedure is not suitable for women with very large, pendulous breasts.

Large breasts can cause persistent back, neck, and shoulder pain, as well as bra strap indentations. Breast reduction surgery can alleviate these symptoms, improving daily comfort .

By reducing breast weight, the surgery can enhance posture and facilitate participation in physical activities.

Excess breast tissue can lead to skin irritation beneath the breast crease. Surgery can mitigate these issues, leading to better skin health.

This procedure can be tailored to your specific requirements, addressing individual concerns.
Understanding potential risks allows you to make an informed decision:

As with any surgery, there is a risk of infection. Signs include redness, warmth, or pus at the incision sites. Adherence to post-operative care, such as keeping the area clean, can reduce this risk​.

Although liposculpture leaves minimal scars due to small incisions, scarring can still occur and may darken or become raised over time. These usually fade but may not completely disappear.

Minor asymmetries may occur if more fat is removed from one breast than the other, or due to individual healing differences​.

Blood (hematoma) or fluid (seroma) accumulation can develop post-surgery, requiring drainage to prevent further complications​.

Although rare with liposculpture, some patients may experience long-term changes in nipple sensitivity, especially if the procedure impacts nerve endings.
Using a qualified health practitioner can help minimise these risks, which may vary between patients.

Swelling and Bruising: Swelling and bruising around the breast area are typical and may persist for several weeks. Cold compresses and elevation can help manage these symptoms.

Temporary Numbness: Some patients experience numbness or changes in sensation around the breast or nipple area. This is generally temporary as nerves heal but may persist longer in some cases.​
Those who smoke or have certain health conditions (like diabetes) may face higher risks of complications, including delayed wound healing. Smokers are advised to quit at least six weeks before surgery due to increased risks of poor circulation, tissue damage, and infection​
Â
By discussing these risks with a qualified surgeon and following all post-operative instructions, patients can reduce their risk of complications and ensure optimal outcomes.

During the consultation, our doctor will discuss your treatment goals and provide information about the procedure, ensuring your plan aligns with realistic expectations.
A brief outline of the procedure involves the following: The careful removal of excess breast tissue, fat, and skin is undertaken. Once removed, reshaping and lifting the breast is completed. Throughout, sterile techniques and monitoring help reduce risks.
