BACKGROUND: Breast reduction surgery is known to be more effective than medications, diet, or support bras in relieving the suffering from excessively large breasts. Liposuction-only breast reduction, without surgery, is effective for eliminating symptoms and significantly reduces scarring and complications. The procedure allows women to maintain nipple sensation and the ability to breast-feed. The author describes his technique, results, and new observations over a 2-year period. METHODS: The results from the charts and photos of all patients in the study group were retrospectively reviewed. RESULTS: The patients were very satisfied with the results of their treatment. New observations are detailed. Complications were minimal. No cases of increased ptosis resulted from suction. CONCLUSIONS: Breast liposuction is an excellent technique that reduces scars, complications, recovery, and costs. It is a technique that should be readily available to women in every society.
