In this process, the plastic surgeon can remove only the excess fat while he/she can remove both excess fat and skin by surgery. So, you may need breast lifting after Liposuction to improve breast appearance.

This type has many features, such as:

• The healing period is faster compared with surgical procedures.
• It needs a small incision so the scar will be invisible after Liposuction.
• This procedure causes fewer side effects than the surgical procedure.
• It doesn’t affect breastfeeding after
• It costs less than the surgical procedure.

However, not all cases are appropriate for Liposuction, so check with your surgeon about which procedure is the best for you.
