Will jogging mess up the breast implants?

Q. I love to jog. Will jogging mess up the breast implants because of all the bouncing up and down?

A. With all physical activities a good support bra is recommended. Some of my patients who have very large breasts use two support bras to get the added support they need for sports or aerobic activities. Jogging will not damage the breast implants, but it is recommended that you wear a good support bra.

Smaller Breasts with Liposuction

Q. If I want just a little bit of size take off of my breasts can you do this with liposuction?

A. Yes smaller breast reductions can be done using liposuction. This technique is generally not recommended on younger patients with dense breasts, on women who want an improvement in their breast shape or on patients who would benefit from having their nipples raised higher on the breast. All the liposuction breast reduction does is remove fat from the breast to reduce the size. This breast reduction technique leaves minimal scarring and no firming, or shape improvement.
