In general, liposuction is commonly used to treat excess fat in the specific area during a breast reduction procedure.

If you have excess tissue in the area that can be pinched before undergoing breast reduction surgery, it may become more noticeable after the reduction since the breast size will be relatively smaller. It is worth discussing with your surgeon if you could benefit from simultaneous liposuction in that area during the breast reduction procedure. This can help improve the overall appearance of the chest region by reducing excess fat.
