A new study that’s been making the rounds online suggests that liposuction may lead to larger breasts. How can this be? While the study does not reveal the mechanism in the body that would increase the volume of fat cells in the breast when the number of fat cells in another area of the body is reduced, it does appear that some small correlation exists.

The study’s statistics are fairly clear: slightly less than half of women who had liposuction also noticed an increase in bra cup size. However, in my experience, women should not count on liposuction alone to achieve the fuller breast size and attractive shape that breast augmentation in Fort Myers can provide.

Because research so far has not been able to determine why breast size would increase after a liposuction procedure and how long the bigger breast size would last, I am skeptical that the liposuction process itself directly contributes to greater breast volume. As a board-certified plastic surgeon performing liposuction as well as breast augmentation in the Fort Myers area, I have not seen a dramatic and sustained change in my patients’ breast appearance following liposuction alone.

How Cosmetic Surgery Really Can Impact Breast Form

Your cup size and your breast volume are determined partly by your weight and habits, as well as your family traits. Your weight fluctuates with changing stress and exercise levels, according to the amount of sleep you are getting, and even over the course of the day. Your posture can also affect your cup size, and many women who tend to slouch in an effort to hide stubborn fatty deposits around the tummy find that, because their liposuction has helped them stay pleased with their bodies, they carry themselves more confidently and upright, whether or not they choose to undergo a breast augmentation in Fort Myers.

Cup Size and Breast Volume Are Not the Same

As many women know, bra cups size is not always the best way to measure your breast size. Bra measurements vary widely and manufacturers use underband measurement instead of actual breast and cup volume to assign cup sizes. This is why a 36C and a 34D actually hold the same breast volume even though the cup size makes it seem like the breast volume is different.

Liposuction could influence bra size simply because if you remove fat from the midsection, your underband size may change. Women in the study who saw the greatest change in bra cup size tended to be heavier to begin with, suggesting that a smaller torso circumference after liposuction caused them to need a bra with a bigger cup size afterward, even if the volume of their breasts stayed constant.

Benefits of Breast Augmentation in Fort Myers

Even if liposuction is having an effect on breast size, the change will not be dramatic. By itself, liposuction simply won’t create a substantially fuller breast volume or more youthful breast shape. A breast lift or a combination breast lift and breast augmentation surgery can help Fort Myers women achieve an enhanced size and more pleasing contour.
