More breast reduction information. Is breast reduction surgery for me? For those women who have been concerned about achieving a natural appearance of the breast or the longevity of their postoperative results, The Stevens Laser Bra affords a natural, safe and long lasting approach to breast augmentation and breast reduction surgery. The concept of The Stevens Laser Bra is a seemingly obvious one. What woman wouldn't want an internal bra to lift her breasts naturally and safely? The Laser Bra is a better alternative to traditional breast reduction surgery.
Breast Reduction Information
Dr. Grant Stevens developed The Stevens LIFT, Laser-assisted Internal Fabrication Technique, which utilizes The Stevens Laser Bra. With the patient in the upright position, the new position of the nipple is marked. Then, once the patient is under general anesthetic, incisions are horizontally and vertically made, adhering to the natural contours of the breast. The laser is then used to preserve the pedicle of the breast tissue that supports the nipple. The entire breast, along with the nipple, is lifted. Excess fat, tissue and skin are removed from each side of the breast. Once the breast is repositioned, the incisions are closed with dissolving sutures under the skin.
With his Laser breast reduction surgery, Dr. Stevens minimizes the possibility of "fallout" of the breast. The shape of the breast is maintained by creating The Stevens Laser Bra. This is achieved by using the laser to de-epithelialize the skin that would have otherwise been discarded, forming a bra out of the patient's own tissue. This bra is then attached to the chest wall where it holds and supports the breast. "I have done hundreds of these procedures and have followed them up to see the results," said Dr. Stevens. "They have held up beautifully." The Stevens Laser Bra cannot be seen or felt under the skin. You could say this is a stealth like breast reduction surgery.
This procedure does not increase the risk of surgery. If anything, there probably is less risk in terms of the anesthesia. 30-40 minutes are saved off a breast reduction surgery utilizing this laser procedure, so the patient has less time under anesthesia.
Candidates for The Laser Bra
Candidates for the laser breast reduction surgery utilizing The Stevens Laser Bra are women who have large sagging breasts. Age is not a deciding factor for this procedure, but patients must be healthy. Because the nipple is never detached, loss of sensation is minimal and some people report increased sensation once the heavy tissue has been removed. In addition, a majority of patients are able to breast feed. Please give us a call if you should require anymore breast reduction information.
