Breast Liposuction in Melbourne

Breast liposuction is a cosmetic surgical procedure that focuses on reducing breast size by removing fat from the area. The specific methods used can vary, and the details of the procedure will be explained to you during your consultation.

Before deciding on cosmetic surgery, it is important to have realistic expectations. During your consultation, Dr Mark Attalla will discuss what the procedure may involve, including recovery and possible outcomes.

Breast reduction through liposuction is a surgical procedure that focuses on removing fat from the breast area. The specific approach and steps may vary depending on your individual circumstances.

During your consultation, the procedure will be explained in detail, and you will be provided with instructions for post-operative care. These instructions are important to help manage swelling and support recovery.

Breast liposuction is suitable for patients over 18 who are looking to reduce breast size primarily due to excess fatty tissue. It is also used as a treatment for gynaecomastia in men who have excessive breast fat tissue. However, candidates should have good skin elasticity and good overall health. They should also have realistic expectations about the outcomes of the procedure.

Breast liposuction focuses on reducing breast size by removing fat from the area. Outcomes can vary from patient to patient and may be influenced by factors such as the amount of fat removed, the method used, and skin quality.

Swelling and fluid retention are common after this type of procedure, and results are assessed over time rather than immediately. The skin may also respond differently from patient to patient. Following the aftercare guidance provided by Dr Mark Attalla is important to support recovery.

Here's what you can expect during the recovery process:

First few days: Initially, patients will experience some swelling, bruising, and discomfort. These can be managed by following the aftercare instructions.

One week post-procedure: Patients may return to non-strenuous work within one week. Compression garments should be worn as directed to reduce swelling and support the new breast shape during the healing process.

Two weeks post-procedure: During this time, patients may start light exercise. The majority of swelling and bruising should have subsided.

Six weeks post-procedure: Full recovery can be achieved during this time, with the final breast shape starting to form. However, it can take up to six months for the final results to become noticeable.

Breast liposuction carries several risks and potential complications, which patients should be aware of before undergoing the procedure:

• Bruising and swelling
• Infection at the incision sites
• Irregular contours or asymmetry
• Numbness or changes in breast sensation
• Scarring
• Fluid accumulation, such as seromas or haematomas
• Skin laxity if the skin does not adequately contract after fat removal
• Pain and discomfort in the treated areas
• Allergic reactions to anaesthesia or other medications
• Blood clots
