Power Assisted Liposuction (PAL) is an attractive alternative to the
traditional method of Breast Reduction. On the forefront of this
unique technique Dr. Renato Calabria, a Beverly Hills based Plastic
and Reconstructive Surgeon, is performing. This less invasive breakthrough
procedure avoids the extensive scarring of the traditional method,
and is suitable for all patients of all ages. It relieves backache,
shoulder pain, neck pain and headache caused by oversized breasts-without
the scarring. It also appeals to younger patients because it does
not interfere with breast-feeding, and allows a much faster recovery.
An important fact to note is that there is less interference with
mammogram then with regular surgery.
The procedure is performed as an outpatient basis.
Two small incisions are made on each breast; then
the breast is infiltrated with tumescent fluid which
pushes the tissue apart so the fat around the mammary
glands can be suctioned more easily. This method
minimizes bleeding and pain. Then the power-assisted
liposuction is performed which is faster and more
effective then traditional liposuction. There is
virtually no bleeding and minimal complications,
the recovery is a lot faster with patients returning
to work in 2-3 days and back to full activity in
as little as 1 week.
The procedure may be covered
by insurance. Dr. Calabria feels the "PAL" Breast
Reduction delivers great results and will be a
great alternative to traditional Breast Reduction.
