SYMPTOMS
Why Is That Done?
Surgery for breast reduction is intended for women who have large breasts and want to solve problems such as:
- Chronic pain in the back, neck, and shoulder that calls for pain medicine
- Chronic rash under the breasts or skin irritation
- Pressure in the nerve
- Action limited
- Bad self-image synonymous with big breasts
- Difficulty getting into bras and apparel
Generally, breast reduction surgery is not recommended if you:
- Smoke
- Have such conditions as diabetes or problems with the heart
- Obese
- Want to avoid marks on your breasts
At any age, you can have breast reduction surgery, sometimes even as an adolescent. But you may need a second operation later in life if your breasts aren’t fully grown yet.
If you have some plans, you may postpone breast reduction surgery, such as:
Childbirth- you can wait until the pregnancy is not an issue if you haven’t started a family or your family is not yet complete. After breast reduction surgery, breastfeeding can be difficult, although some surgical procedures may help maintain your breastfeeding ability.
Loss of weight- If you are interested in losing weight by changing your diet and beginning an exercise program, you might want to consider if mammoplasty reduction is for you. Losing weight can also contribute to improvements in the size of your breasts.
What Are Its Risks?
Breast reduction surgery, including bleeding, infection, and an adverse reaction to anesthesia, has the same risks as any other major surgery form. Other threats that might likely include are:
- Bruising, which is usually sporadic
- Scarring
- Sensation removal or loss in the nipples and skin around the nipples (areolae)
- Hardship or failure to breastfeed
- Differences in the scale, shape, and symmetry of the left and right breasts that have been surgically changed, which may contribute to more surgery to enhance your appearance
