Breast Reduction is a surgical operation that removes excess fat or tissue from the breasts of the patient. However, most women desire to have larger breasts because they find it better that way.
But for some women, the size of the breasts can be so large that they look disproportionate to their bodies. It can also be uncomfortable to do sports or sometimes even perform very simple tasks when you have very big breasts.
CANDIDATES FOR BREAST REDUCTION
Breast reduction surgery is for those with large breasts or women who have problems such as;
- Chronic back, neck, and shoulder pain.
- Persistent rash or skin irritation under the breasts.
- Nerve pain.
- Restricted activity.
- Poor self-image related to large breasts.
- Difficulty fitting into bras and clothing.
About the operation
Breast Reduction surgery is performed under general anesthesia, with adequate analgesia during and after surgery.
The operation is done by making a circular incision around the nipple. After the incision is made, the nipple is repositioned and the areola is reduced by excision of the skin around the periphery, if necessary.
