Does Liposuction Lead to Larger Breasts? - Thursday, June 05, 2008
A doctor who encountered anecdotal evidence from his abdominal liposuction patients that they experienced breast enlargement after their liposuction treatment, decided to follow up with a retrospective study that verified the phenomenon and quantified its frequency. The study excluded women who had had previous breast surgery or who were nursing.
According to the study, published in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 40 percent of women who undergo liposuction of the abdominal wall experienced an observable spontaneous breast enlargement of at least one cup size. The study also considered women who had undergone abdominoplasty, and found that only 11 percent of these women experienced a verifiable increase in breast size.
The doctor does not suggest touting this side-effect, but, instead, says that "patients should be informed about the possibility and risk of breast enlargement following liposuction of the abdominal wall in particular." In addition, this single retrospective study is far from suggesting a concrete link between the two procedures.
