The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic and twilight sedation (conscious sedation). With experience of over 1000 VASER procedures Dr Wolf will be able to reduce the size and volume of the breasts and also create some lift (between 1-4cm). This will alleviate associated back problems and awkward wardrobe issues.

The VASER breast reduction procedure is ideal for women that are happy with the shape of their breasts, but merely would like the size and weight reduced. Mammograms are routinely performed before and after the procedure.
