Procedure Variations

Different Techniques in Breast Liposuction

Breast liposuction can be customised using different techniques to suit individual needs:

• Tumescent Liposuction: A solution of saline, anaesthetic, and epinephrine is injected to facilitate fat removal while reducing bleeding and discomfort.
• Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction (UAL): Utilises ultrasound energy to emulsify fat, allowing for easier extraction and precise contouring.
• Laser-Assisted Liposuction (LAL): Incorporates laser energy to break down fat cells and promote skin tightening.
• Power-Assisted Liposuction (PAL): Employs a mechanised cannula for enhanced control and efficiency during fat removal.

Dr. Kohout carefully evaluates each patient’s anatomy and goals to recommend the most suitable approach.

Potential Benefits of Breast Liposuction

The procedure offers numerous advantages, including:

• Physical Relief: Eases strain on the back, neck, and shoulders, often improving posture and mobility.
• Less Invasive Approach: Smaller incisions, reduced scarring, and faster recovery compared to traditional breast reduction surgery.
• Modified Contours: Aims to achieve a more proportional silhouette and assist with the fit of clothing.
• Enhanced Symmetry: Refines uneven breast sizes for a more balanced appearance.
• Long-Term Results: Results are durable when paired with a stable weight and healthy lifestyle.

Recovery: What to Expect

Immediate Postoperative Phase

The first 24-48 hours involve mild discomfort, managed with prescribed medications. Compression garments are essential to minimise swelling, promote healing, and support the breasts’ new shape. Temporary drainage from incisions is expected.

Week 1

Patients are advised to avoid strenuous activities but can engage in light movement, such as short walks, to enhance circulation. Many return to non-physical work within a few days, depending on individual recovery.

Week 2-3

Bruising and swelling diminish significantly. Patients often resume light physical activities but should continue wearing compression garments as recommended.

Week 4 and Beyond

By the fourth week, most patients return to normal activities, including moderate exercise. However, high-impact activities involving the chest area should be postponed until the surgeon provides clearance.

Anticipated Outcomes

What to Expect in Terms of Results

Initial results are apparent as swelling subsides, with the final contour becoming more defined over three to six months. Patients typically experience:

• Aesthetic Refinement: Breasts appear smaller, lighter, and more proportional.
• Symptom Relief: Physical discomfort, including back and shoulder pain, is significantly alleviated.
• Improved Comfort: Many patients report increased satisfaction with the size of their breasts and greater comfort in clothing.
