What You Need to Know About Breast Reduction Surgery
Breast is undoubtedly one of the most important elements of female beauty and sexual identity. The fact that women’s breasts are larger than what is considered normal or that the size of the breasts are not proportional to the rest of the body can cause some problems. It can be said that breast reduction surgery is performed not only for aesthetic purposes but also as a necessity in terms of health, since the problems that arise do not only cause aesthetic concerns and the women are faced with some physical problems.
With breast reduction surgery, it is aimed to reshape the breast tissue of women to be compatible with their body contours. This surgical procedure, which provides effective and permanent results, improves the quality of life of women by eliminating the physical problems caused by the large size of the breasts. In addition, having breasts that look more aesthetically pleasing in the desired sizes increases the self-confidence of women and contributes to their psychological health. Breast reduction surgeries can be applied in combination with breast lift surgeries if deemed necessary for the patient.
Why is breast reduction surgery performed?
Breast reduction surgery is performed to eliminate the physical and psychological problems that women experience due to the size of their breasts. Women who have problems in social life due to their appearance may face a lack of self-confidence. Breast size, which creates different complaints from the choice of clothing to the limitation of activity, can be eliminated by experienced surgeons with advanced medical techniques. In addition to all these complaints, women with large breasts may encounter an undesirable situation such as a decrease in their quality of life due to diaper rash, fungus, rash under the breasts or neck and back pain.
Who can undergo breast reduction surgery?
Breast reduction surgery, which is a reconstructive surgical procedure, can be applied to women who experience back and neck pain due to the size of their breasts and even face the problem of humpback from time to time. In order for women who complain about the size of their breasts to have breast reduction surgery, their general health conditions must be suitable for the surgery. Although breast reduction surgery is usually performed after the breast development is completed, that is, after the age of 18, depending on the patient’s very serious physical problems, breast reduction surgery can be performed before the age of 18 with the approval of the doctor and family. During the operation planning process, the general health status of the patients and the medications they regularly use should be questioned.
Does breast reduction surgery prevent breastfeeding?
Many women planning to have breast reduction surgery worry about whether they will be able to preserve their breastfeeding functions after the surgery. There is a risk that breastfeeding function will be damaged when some of the mammary glands are removed during breast reduction surgery. At this point, what is important and determinant is the technique used for the surgery. For this reason, breast tissue is reduced less and mammary glands are preserved in women who have not given birth yet or who are planning a new pregnancy after surgery. A breast reduction surgery performed using the right technique is not likely to cause loss of breastfeeding function.
