NO-SCAR BREAST REDUCTION
NEW "NO-SCAR" BREAST REDUCTION COMES TO BEAUTOLOGIE!
For years, women have been enjoying the benefits of the traditional breast reduction: an enhanced appearance and slimmer silhouette, increased self-esteem, a wider selection of bras and clothing, and a solution to physical complaints such as back and neck pain, migraines, under-the-breast rashes, and discomfort during exercise.
However, breast reduction patients also understand the downside: Because traditional breast reduction both minimizes and lifts the breasts, there has previously been no method for achieving smaller breasts without having to live with the lollipop-looking scar it can leave behind.
Introducing the No-Scar Solution In the last six months, Beautologie has welcomed a new addition to its surgical staff, cosmetic surgery specialist Dr. Jim Knoetgen. Arriving from the Mayo Clinic, he brings with him an advanced new procedure, termed the "no-scar breast reduction" because of its success in eliminating the most profound side effect of the standard surgery.
Developed in only the last few years—and currently being offered by just a small number of advanced centers—the no-scar breast reduction is essentially liposuction for the breasts, accomplishing an aesthetically superior result for women who don't desire their breasts be lifted.
A traditional breast reduction works by cutting the skin, lifting and removing tissue and fat, and then suturing the area together. By contrast, the no-scar reduction requires simply making a tiny (only 5 mm!) incision, located inconspicuously under the breast; through this small slit, a miniscule tube is inserted to draw out unwanted fat.
Benefits of the Breast Procedure Offering the same benefits as a traditional breast reduction in terms of decreasing the size and weight of breasts, the no-scar reduction delivers a number of advantages:
The cost of the procedure is approximately $6000-$7000 for the lift alone, $10,000 - $11,000 for a lift and augmentation or a reduction. This estimate does include the anesthesia, OR fees, and implant cost. Financed, this can be as low as $150 to $200 a month!
- No visible scars—enables you to keep the procedure completely private, whether wearing a bathing suit or nothing at all
- Significantly smaller price tag—approximately half the price of a traditional reduction (note that this procedure, unlike traditional breast reduction surgery, is not covered by insurance.
- Quicker recovery/very minimal downtime—only four to five days, compared to four to six weeks with a traditional reduction (and no drainage tubes!), allowing you to get back to your daily routine in less than a week
- Increased safety—tiny incisions mean no wound-healing problems; and minimally invasive nature means less stress on the body
- Much shorter surgery—at least an hour less time compared to standard reduction surgery
- More natural appearance—ideal for women who want a smaller, less heavy breast but still desire a natural look.

THE NO-SCAR BREAST REDUCTION: WHO IS AN IDEAL CANDIDATE?
According to Dr. Knoetgen, the pool of potential candidates is wider than one would imagine. "The no-scar breast reduction is an excellent option for women of varying ages and body types," he notes.
That being said, the no-scar reduction is recommended for three categories of women: first, those who don't want breasts to be significantly lifted, just made smaller and/or less heavy. A second class of candidate is women whose breasts are large primarily because of excess fatty tissue as opposed to a surplus of breast tissue (which can be determined during a complimentary evaluation). Finally, for any woman who desires smaller breasts but who simply doesn't want the scars or steeper price tag of the standard reduction and lift, the no-scar procedure is an ideal alternative
