The right time for breast reduction
Most of the requests on this issue are from women with a fifth size and larger.
But how do you know that you should consult a specialist? There are a number of symptoms and indications for which you should think about breast reduction surgery:
- Structural changes. The weight of the mammary glands can cause improper distribution of the load on the spine, which in turn leads to its curvature
- Comfort problems. When your bra becomes a source of suffering, leaving marks and cuts on the skin due to excessive load
- Limitations in activity. With a large bust, it can be difficult to play sports
- Dermatological problems. Frequent irritation of the skin under the breast due to increased sweating
The causes of excess volume are often genetic. However, factors such as changes in hormonal balance, weight gain or feeding can also affect the size of the mammary glands.
To answer the question of how to reduce a girl's breasts, you should contact a qualified plastic surgeon who will advise on all methods and approaches.
Technical nuances of reduction mammoplasty: Choosing an approach
Understanding the specifics of plastic surgery can help the patient feel more confident when choosing a technique and interacting with a doctor. Let's consider the most popular techniques in reduction mammoplasty.
Features of incisions:
- Vertical technique. The incision begins in the areola area and continues vertically down to the inframammary fold. This method is suitable for a small change in size
- T-shaped (or anchor) technique. Here, the vertical incision is connected to the horizontal one, running along the inframammary fold. This method is chosen to achieve a more radical reduction
Often, during reduction mammoplasty, the surgeon may suggest correction of the nipples and areola, including their possible transfer or, in rare cases, removal and subsequent reconstruction. This allows you to achieve a more harmonious appearance.
Modern approaches to reduction mammoplasty: key points and recommendations
Reduction mammoplasty is a surgical procedure aimed at reducing the volume of the mammary glands. Over the decades, the methods and approaches to this process have significantly developed and improved.
Choosing a method. There are several approaches to reduction mammoplasty in medical practice. Despite the fact that some methods may be considered outdated and do not always provide ideal results, they can still be offered in various clinics. It is important to contact experienced specialists who can give an objective assessment of each method and offer the most suitable one for your case.
Possibilities and limitations. The main goal of the operation is to create an aesthetically attractive and comfortable breast shape. From a large mammary gland, you can get the desired volume, while maintaining a natural look. Also, the diameter of the areola can be corrected, if necessary.
Stages of implementation. Optimally, the intervention is performed in one go, minimizing the need for subsequent corrective operations
Lactation after surgery. One of the possible consequences of reduction mammoplasty is the absence of lactation. If you are planning to have a child, it is worth considering that you may have to use breast milk substitutes.
In conclusion, choosing a reduction mammoplasty technique is a responsible step that requires a deep understanding of all aspects of the operation. Discussing the details with a qualified specialist will help you make the right decision and ensure the best result.
Stages of the operation
Each stage is designed to ensure safety. The surgeon also achieves an aesthetically pleasing result.
A clear sequence of actions helps maintain health and create harmonious body proportions.
Stages of the operation:
- Marking the correction zones taking into account the desired contour
- Introduction of anesthesia to completely eliminate pain
- Excision of tissue and removal of excess volume
- Moving the nipple and areola to an anatomically correct position
