Abstract

Suction lipectomy has become an accepted procedure and its full use is still being elucidated. The author herein describes the use of suction lipectomy as an adjunct in refining the results of established surgical procedures on the breast. The authors also explain the use of suction lipectomy in doing “suction reduction” mammoplasty. The advantages of the use of suction lipectomy as an adjunct to breast surgery and for reduction mammoplasty are explained.
