The Laser Bra technique is performed during breast reduction or breast lift surgery under general anesthesia. The tissue that is typically discarded with a breast reduction or breast lift is actually saved and used to develop the Laser Bra. The tissue is treated with a CO2 laser that makes the tissue tight and taught. The treated tissue is then sutured to the chest wall to create an internal support system. The two major benefits of this technique are better shape and a longer lasting lift. Patient downtime is typically 5-7 days and no working out for 4-6 weeks. It is a new year so it is time for the new you. Schedule your consultation with Dr. Heck today.
