WHEN SHOULD I GET A BREAST REDUCTION?
Over-volume breasts can cause serious spine problems in the first place, but they may present problems in doing sports or even in everyday activities; alike, when looking for a proper sized ready-to-wear garment. In addition they may lead to psychic problems and inhibitions.
In that cases breast reduction surgery may be necessary, to achieve the results like:
smaller, most comfortable breast size,
more easy and free movements,
well-being.
HOW IS BREAST REDUCTION DONE?
Prior to the procedure, general and local examinations have to be done to value the risks of the treatment. The procedure is always performed under general anaesthesia.
Oversized breasts stretches the skin due to their own weight, getting into a hanging position. Breast-lifting in itself is not enough for correction in that cases, but superfluous skin and breast tissue has also to be removed. The breasts reduced to the desired size provide a permanently improved general feeling .
During the course of breast reduction multiple incisions have to be made on order to achieve the appropriate result; a circular one around the nipple, one under the breast in the mammary fold, and a vertical one under the areola of the nipple connecting the former two – a certain part of the breast tissue and the superfluous skin are removed through them. The incisions are closed with continuous sutures led in the subcutaneous tissue and in the lower stratum of the skin.
Length of the procedure is 2-3 hours, compulsory clinical stay-in is 1 night.
HEALING AND RECOVERY AFTER BREAST REDUCTION TREATMENT
The patient should avoid any sport or other activity that involves intense shoulder or pectoral muscle movements for six weeks. Though in most cases of medical procedures, operations may be accompanied by the swelling, haemorrhage, possibly inflammation of the given region, or scarring disorders may occur, these are becoming rarer and more easy to treat – due to the development in medical science.
Work capacity returns in 10-14 days, sutures do not have to be removed, as absorbable sutures are used in our clinic.
