Laser bra breast surgery is designed to provide strong internal support to lift the breasts, and to maintain a firm and appealing position. The procedure may be used for breast reduction, breast lift, or breast augmentation.

Candidates for Laser Bra Breast Surgery: The best candidates for laser bra breast surgery are well-adjusted women whose sagging breasts cause health and medical problems, interfere with routine activities, disrupt sleep, or suffer related self-consciousness. The procedure may work well for candidates who are concerned about nipple sensitivity and breast feeding after surgery. Patients with certain medical problems may be excluded from this treatment: for example, older patients with a heart condition on many medications would significantly increase the risk of complications.

A small percentage of plastic surgeons today have experience with the laser bra breast procedure. It is important to seek the advice of an experienced, qualified laser bra breast surgeon to make a final decision about whether the procedure is right for you.

Choosing a Surgeon: It's important to choose a board-certified plastic surgeon from the American Board of Plastic Surgery with extensive experience in all of the breast-related procedures. Using a board-certified plastic surgeon does not always guarantee the best results; however, board certification does require specific and rigorous surgical education and training.

The type of certification is also important. There are more than 150 self-designated boards, but only a handful that are designated by the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) such as the American Board of Plastic Surgery. The doctor should also be certified to use the laser. This includes training by laser specialists and a diploma awarded after successful completion of hands-on laser courses.
