Results Last Much Longer with a Lollipop Breast Reduction
New York City, NY – Women are attracted to the lollipop technique to breast reduction (also called Vertical Breast Reduction) because there is much less scarring. But, actually, this operation has an even more important advantage.
The breast tissue itself is sculptured and lifted from the inside. When the breast tissue heals in its new perky position, the result is quite permanent. The skin plays no role in the shape.
Other breast reduction operations rely on cutting out skin and tightening the “skin bra”. The tighter skin will create a perky breast, but only temporarily, because skin stretches and sagging returns in a year.

Tips To Help You Choose A Plastic Surgeon.
1) Is the surgeon a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery? Members usually do a lot of cosmetic surgery.
2) Did you sense a commitment to excellence in the office. Did the surgeon spend a lot of time with you? Someone who rushes through the consultation may rush through the surgery.
3) Were you treated as an individual? Did the surgeon present you with a surgical plan tailor made for you?
4) Plastic surgeons have to have a good eye and meticulous technique. Did the surgeon show you A LOT of before and after pictures, and did you love the results?
5) Talk to other doctors you know. Established plastic surgeons have a reputation in the community, good or bad.
6) Ask to speak to a patient who has had the procedure you want. You are looking for a surgeon who does a lot of what you want. Many patients are eager to share their experience. Privacy is preserved by having the patient call you.
7) If you are having breast augmentation, ask if the surgeon has a large inventory of different size and shape breast implants available in the operating room. A surgeon who does a lot of breast surgery will have an inventory. This way, the final implant choice does not have to be made in advance.
8) With office surgery, make sure the surgical facility is ACCREDITED. Very important safety assurance.
9) Make sure the anesthesia is given by a BOARD CERTIFIED ANESTHESIOLOGIST. Another very important safety factor.
10) Make sure the office has trained nurses available for hands-on post operative care. This can really speed recovery.
