Why Patients Seeking The Best Results Ask for Concurrent Liposuction With A Breast Lift?

Liposuction allows Dr. Azouz to not only contour the breast but also allows Dr. Azouz to remove lateral and axillary breast tissue (lateral boob). Dr. Azouz uses multiple modalities of liposuction including:

Anesthesia for a Breast Lift

Breast Lift Recovery

Recovery is generally pain-free, quick, and straightforward. As with any surgical procedure, it is necessary to follow Dr. Azouz’s aftercare instructions for a healthy recovery. Results of the breast lift are immediately visible and will continue to improve over time, as swelling reduces and scars fade. Patients generally return to heavy activity such as cross-fit, sports, and horseback riding six weeks after surgery.

Breast Lift Surgery Patient Review for Dr. Azouz

“After seeing multiple doctors for consultations for breast reduction/lift, we ultimately decided that Dr. Azouz was hands down the best, and we have NO regrets! Him and his team were amazing, and the results even better! Other doctors pushed me to get implants and warned that there is a high probability that I would loose feeling in my nipples. Dr. Azouz gave me the exact results I wanted, without implants and no loss of feeling at all. He is hands down the best!!!”
