Breast Enlargement Observed After Power Liposuction: A Retrospective Review
Abstract
BACKGROUND: After undergoing power liposuction to various body areas, a significant number of subjects reported an increase in their breast size that occurred spontaneously several months after their procedure. OBJECTIVE: To establish the incidence of breast enlargement among subjects who underwent power liposuction and to identify variables that are associated with the phenomenon. METHODS: A retrospective chart review and patient interview were performed from among 73 subjects who had undergone power liposuction at our center. Variables such as age, original weight, volume of aspirated fat, estrogen supplements, amount of weight loss or gain, and body areas aspirated were compared between those who experienced breast enlargement and those who did not. RESULTS: Thirty-four percent of the subjects (25 of 73) reported an increase in breast size. Of this group, 32% (8 of 25) reported an increase in cup size of one or more. Variables associated with the cohort who experienced breast enlargement included larger volume of fat aspiration and liposuction in the abdomen and hip location. CONCLUSION: Breast enlargement was observed in 34% of the subjects after power liposuction either in the form of a larger bra cup size or a subjective feeling of increased fullness. We hypothesize that an altered androgen to estrogen ratio after liposuction may be responsible for this change.

“Information obtained from case reports in patients is consistent with the findings in animals, and suggest that weight gain after liposuction results in an increase in subcutaneous fat in areas that were not aspirated, such the back and breasts (19-21).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
