What to expect after breast reduction surgery?

Reduction mammoplasty is a plastic surgery aimed at reducing the size and, accordingly, the weight of the mammary glands, which helps to create a more aesthetic breast contour, more proportional to the patient's body. By removing excess tissue, fat and stretched skin, the plastic surgeon not only reduces the breasts, makes them lighter and firmer, but also corrects the symmetry and eliminates the sagging of the mammary glands. What to expect before, during and after breast reduction surgery, estet-portal.com will tell you in this article.

Indications, contraindications and performance of reduction mammoplasty

Breast lift and reduction surgery is indicated for:

  • presence of mastoptosis (sagging breasts);
  • necessity of breast reduction (due to physical or psychological discomfort of the patient).

Plastic surgeons at Medical Club most often resort to two methods of breast reduction surgery, namely:

  1. Perioreolar - aimed at eliminating small ptosis of the breast without changing its volume, i.e. to correct an existing form.
  2. Anchor - allows you to correct significant ptosis of the breast and reduce its volume.

The choice of the technique of the operation is carried out by the surgeon after the examination, assessment of the necessary changes and taking into account the wishes of the patient.

Contraindications for surgery:

  • oncological diseases;
  • blood clotting disorder;
  • infectious diseases;
  • diabetes mellitus;
  • diseases of internal organs;
  • mental illness;
  • lactation period.

Reduction mammoplasty is performed under general anesthesia and takes 50 minutes - 1.5 hours. For 1-2 days after the operation, the patient is in the hospital.

Despite the fact that breast reduction surgery is a common and safe procedure, surgery is characterized by a fairly long recovery period. Therefore, patients who decide on reduction mammoplasty should be aware of the specifics of rehabilitation.

First two weeks after breast reduction surgery

During the first day after the operation, the patient is forbidden to take a shower. During the first two weeks, bruising and swelling will remain in the chest area. To minimize discomfort and speed up the healing process, you must strictly follow the doctor's instructions.

For 3-4 weeks after the operation, it is necessary to wear a special compression garment. Stitches are not removed after surgery, as they are placed at the Medical Club Clinic using high quality absorbable (after about 3 months) material.

During this period, patients are not recommended to visit the sauna, solarium and play sports. Also, for several months after reduction mammoplasty, some women may experience increased sensitivity of the breast, and pain during menstruation is not excluded. Your doctor may prescribe pain medication to relieve pain.

In general, due to significant trauma to the breast tissue during surgery, the final result can be assessed six months to a year after reduction mammoplasty.

What to expect one year after breast reduction surgery?

One year after reduction mammoplasty, the breast will take on its final and most natural shape.

The results after breast reduction surgery are permanent. However, it is worth remembering that the natural aging process, changes in weight or the birth of a child are factors that can affect the appearance of the mammary glands, their shape and size over time. Therefore, these issues are also recommended to be discussed at a preliminary consultation with a plastic surgeon.

Reduction mammoplasty, which is successfully performed by qualified surgeons at the Medical Club clinic, eliminates the physical and psychological discomfort associated with breast size and restores self-confidence.

    Очень интересная статья - задела за "живое". Мне 25 лет, но бюстом меня природа наградила огромным. Я по этому поводу страшно комплексую - мужчины обращают внимание не на меня, а на мой бюст. Я пока не замужем, но хотела бы уменьшить бюст. Куда можно обратиться за консультацией относительно возможной операции? Как правильно выбрать клинику и найти доктора?

    Добрый день, я хочу сделать редукционная маммопластику, но у меня есть несколько вопросов касающихся её проведения и исхода. Первое что я бы хотела узнать, как долго происходит заживления и когда пройдут синяки после операции? Второе, будут ли видны шрамы на груби с наружи, если да, то можно ли их удалить лазером со временем и не повлияет ли это на предыдущую операцию?
