Most calls on this issue come from women with size five or larger.
But how do you understand that you should seek advice from a specialist? There are a number of symptoms and indications for which you need to think about breast reduction surgery:
- Structural changes. The heaviness of the mammary glands can cause improper distribution of the load on the spine, which in turn leads to its curvature
- Difficulties with comfort. When your bra becomes a source of suffering, leaving marks and cuts on your skin due to excess weight
- Activity restrictions. It can be difficult to exercise with a large bust
- Dermatological problems. Frequent irritation of the skin under the breasts due to increased sweating
The causes of excess volume are often genetic. However, factors such as changes in hormonal balance, weight gain or feeding may also affect breast size.
To answer the question of how to reduce breasts for a girl, you should contact a qualified plastic surgeon who will advise on all methods and approaches.
Understanding the specifics of plastic surgery can help the patient feel more confident when choosing a technique and interacting with a doctor. Let's look at the most popular techniques in reduction mammoplasty.
Features of incisions (cuts):
- Vertical technique. The incision begins at the areola and continues vertically down to the inframammary fold. This method is suitable for small resizing
- T-shaped (or anchor) technique. Here the vertical incision is connected to a horizontal one running along the inframammary fold. This method is chosen to achieve a more radical reduction
Often, during the process of reduction mammoplasty, the surgeon may suggest adjustments to the nipples and areola, including possible transfer or, in rare cases, removal and subsequent reconstruction. This allows you to achieve a more harmonious appearance.
Modern approaches to reduction mammoplasty: key points and recommendations
Reduction mammoplasty is a surgical procedure aimed at reducing the volume of the mammary glands. Over the decades, techniques and approaches to this process have noticeably developed and improved.
Choice of methodology. In medical practice, there are several approaches to reduction mammoplasty. Although some techniques may be considered outdated and do not always provide ideal results, they may still be offered in various clinics. It is important to contact experienced specialists who can give an objective assessment of each method and suggest the most suitable one for your case.
Possibilities and limitations. The main goal of the operation is to create an aesthetically attractive and comfortable breast shape. From a large breast, you can obtain the desired volume while maintaining a natural appearance. Correction of the areola diameter can also be performed if necessary.
Stages of implementation. It is optimal for the intervention to be performed in one go, minimizing the need for subsequent corrective surgeries
Lactation after surgery. One of the possible consequences of reduction mammoplasty is the absence of lactation. If you are planning to have a baby, it is worth considering that you may have to use breast milk substitutes
In conclusion, choosing a reduction mammoplasty technique is a responsible step that requires a deep understanding of all aspects of the operation. Discussing the details with a qualified professional will help you make the right decision and ensure the best outcome.
