Not all women feel that having large breasts improves comfort or confidence. Many seek breast reduction to relieve physical strain, posture issues, and daily limitations. Dr. Thomas Pane performs breast reduction in Palm Beach Gardens using tumescent liposuction to reduce breast size with minimal scarring, light sedation, and a shorter recovery. Most procedures are completed in under three hours, with patients returning home the same day and resuming normal activities within days.
Breast reduction through liposuction is led by Dr. Thomas Pane, a double board-certified plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and the American Board of Surgery. With advanced plastic surgery training and decades of hands-on experience performing breast procedures, Dr. Pane applies precise technique to minimize scarring, shorten recovery, and achieve proportionate results that align with each patient’s anatomy and goals.
Tumescent Liposuction for Breast Reduction
Tumescent liposuction is the infusion of large volumes of a local anesthesia solution into the breasts. Your surgeon uses a small instrument, called a cannula, to suction away the unwanted fatty tissue. The result is a resculpting of the breast into a more attractive size.
Who Are the Best Candidates for Breast Liposuction Reduction?
The best candidates for this procedure are women who desire a reduction of only a few cup sizes in the size of their breast. Breast asymmetry may also be corrected using this technique. Additional candidates include women who fear general anesthesia, women who can’t spare the time of a lengthy recovery, women who have been rejected by their insurance company for a traditional breast reduction and women who have experienced regrowth after a previous procedure.
Is a Breast Liposuction Reduction Right for You?
During your consultation with our physician, explain your goals and expectations of the surgery. Your surgeon will assess the nature of your breasts, your expectations, and explain the probable outcome of your procedure. You may be shown several before and after treatment photographs of patients having similar breasts, and your surgeon will explain the treatment you can expect to receive. Often a mammography (X-ray) may be required.
Are There Any Limitations to Breast Liposuction Reduction?
Yes. With breast lipo-reduction we can only reduce breast size a few cup sizes and we cannot guarantee the size and exact shape of your breasts following the procedure. In most cases the height of the nipple will come up about 2 cm and the size of the areola will shrink in proportion to the smaller breast size.
The Breast Liposuction Reduction Procedure
Dr. Pane performs breast reduction by liposuction on an out-patient basis. It is performed using light sedation and tumescent local anesthesia. Several tiny, well-concealed incisions are made in the breast fold, to insert the cannula. The fatty tissue is gently suctioned away. The entire procedure takes three hours or less.
How Will I Feel After Breast Liposuction Reduction?
Post-operatively, most patients experience minimal discomfort. They are only in the recovery room for about two hours and then they go home. Dressings are worn for the first day or two. Patients are encouraged to resume normal activities as soon as they feel up to it. The results of breast reduction surgery are usually permanent but breast size may change due to weight gain or pregnancy.
Your New Figure After Breast Liposuction Reduction
Breast reduction can make a dramatic change in your appearance and your outlook. A breast reduction can make your breasts smaller and firmer. Many patients find new enjoyment in sports, exercise, dancing or even just walking.
Recovery Timeline and Activity Guidelines
Recovery after breast liposuction reduction is generally shorter than traditional breast reduction surgery. Most patients return home the same day and resume light activities within a few days. Strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for several weeks to allow proper healing. Dr. Pane provides clear guidance on activity progression to support comfort and long-term results.
Scarring and Long-Term Appearance
Breast liposuction reduction involves very small, strategically placed incisions that are typically well concealed within natural breast folds. Over time, these incisions fade and become less noticeable. Because the procedure focuses on fat removal rather than large incisions, many patients appreciate the subtle scarring and natural breast shape that develops as swelling resolves.
Expected Results and Patient Satisfaction
Patients often notice an immediate improvement in breast size and comfort following surgery, with continued refinement as healing progresses. Many report relief from physical strain, improved posture, and greater ease with clothing and physical activity. Understanding realistic expectations helps patients feel satisfied and confident with their results.
