Breast reduction and lift
Breast reduction
Breast reduction surgery involves removing skin and tissue from the breasts, followed by reshaping and lifting to create a smaller, more proportional breast size.
Oversized breasts can cause health and emotional problems. Patients can often feel physical pain and discomfort. The weight of excess breast tissue can reduce your ability to lead an active life.
Why undergo a breast reduction procedure?
- Due to neck and back pain
- Due to difficulty in movement
- Because of breast asymmetry
- Due to frequent rashes and irritation of the skin under the breasts
Preparation and operation procedure
Reduction mammoplasty is performed under general anesthesia, and the surgery typically lasts around 3.5 to 4 hours. The entire process is completed within 24 hours.
Before arriving at the hospital, it is necessary to have a breast ultrasound, which is also possible at the Medical Group Hospital.
The procedure is simple, you come to the hospital in the morning, you must not eat or drink anything in the morning. In the hospital, all findings, urine, laboratory and biochemical analyses, EKG, and examination by the anesthesiologist are performed. After that, we plan the operation, take photos.
After the operation, you stay in the hospital, and the next day s you are discharged home.
The post-discharge check-up comes after a few days.
Recovery
Avoid work-related activities for a few days, avoid fitness and gym for 40 days, an elastic bra is worn for 40 days postoperatively.
Also, no lifting heavier than 3kg for 40 days.
Breast lift
A breast lift (mastopexy), lifts the breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue.
Breast lift surgery can rejuvenate your figure with a profile that is younger and more uplifted. Women's breasts often change over time, losing their youthful shape and firmness.
These changes and loss of skin elasticity can be a result of:
- Pregnancies
- Breastfeeding
- Weight fluctuations"
- Aging
- Genetics
The breast lift surgery doesn't significantly change the size of the breasts or round out the upper part of the breasts. If you want your breasts to look fuller, consider a breast lift and augmentation surgery.
If you desire smaller breasts, consider combining a breast lift with reduction surgery.
