Excessive breast volume is also a health issue. It can cause back and shoulder pain, tingling in the arms, posture changes and difficulty playing sports or wearing certain clothes.
Very large breasts can also make hygiene harder and favor recurring infections.
What is it?
Surgery to reduce the size of the breasts.
How is it done?
The technique depends on the initial volume, the desired volume and the position of the areolas before surgery. The larger the breast, the longer the scar, which is why the most common technique is the inverted T mammoplasty.
The procedure takes 2 to 4 hours. Liposuction of the armpit area can be combined.
Recovery
With long-lasting surgical glue, most patients do not need external stitches. Well-fitted specific garments are mandatory for up to 3 months.
Return to work usually happens after the first 15 days. Driving, lifting weights and wide elbow movements remain limited for longer. Lymphatic drainage is part of recovery.
Times and techniques are averages and change from person to person. Every indication depends on an individual medical evaluation.
