Albuquerque, NM Mammoplasty Reduction

The breast reduction surgery in Albuquerque gives the woman a chance to “make up” with her body.

In addition, that the pain in the back will stop, now you can run, sleep on your stomach, wear beautiful underwear and dresses on thin straps. Now men will look you in the eye more often.

Indications for breast reduction surgery

Breast size is determined by genes, hormones and weight. In most women, the breast is proportionate to the body and therefore does not cause discomfort.

Large breasts (in medicine – macromastia) is an abnormality of the development of the mammary glands, in which their volume and weight are excessively increased due to excess fat and connective tissue.

The hypertrophied chest presses on the chest.

There are a number of medical problems:

  • violation of posture, stoop, vertebral hernia and even displacement of vertebrae;
  • chronic pain in the shoulders, neck and spine;
  • chafing and rashes in the crease of the breast.

Big breasts and its excessive ptosis give the woman and other problems:

  • To go in for sports is inconvenient.
  • Choose clothes and underwear – it’s difficult.
  • On the beach, obsessive glances and comments by outsiders can not be avoided.

Add to this the psychological pressure of peers in adolescence and the difficulties in intimate life. Experiencing the above “delights” from the big breast from the moment of puberty, women are looking for a way to reduce it. Unscrupulous cosmetics manufacturers cash in on this.

Dr Luis Cuadros Natural Breast Lift

They call for buying miracle cures, the “patented formula” of which will reduce the breast by several sizes or tighten the chest.

Unfortunately, this is not true. No “innovative” cream will not reduce the breasts.

The essence of the operation. What methods are used for breast reduction?

The essence of breast reduction surgery in Albuquerque is the removal of the excess tissue of the breast and skin. The mammary gland is lifted, it is given a rounded form.

Due to stretching of the skin, stretch marks (and they are in 99% of cases) become less noticeable or even “go away” together with the removed tissues. If the left and right breasts are different, their symmetrization is performed.
The operation is 1.5-2 hours under general anesthesia.
There are different methods of removing tissues with a reduction in breast size.

T-shaped (Anchor method) is more traumatic;

Dr Neil T. Chen Mammoplasty Reduction Surgery

– allows you to remove 1 kg of tissue and more;
– with ptosis of the chest of 3 and 4 degrees (when the nipple is below the pectoral fold more than 3 cm);
– The postoperative scar is in the form of an inverted “T” and consists of a areola circule, vertical and horizontal (hidden in the fold under the breast) scars.

Circum-vertical method is less traumatic, mainly used for chest tightening;

– allows you to remove 300-500 g;
– with ptosis 1-2 degrees (nipple below the folds of 2 cm);
– Postoperative scars consist of okolososovo and vertical scars.

When choosing a technique, I start from the size of the breast and its shape, the location of the areola, the degree of sagging of the breast and the quality of the skin.

If the task is to reduce the size a little, to give it an aesthetic form, then I choose circum-vertical technique. And when more ambitious changes are needed – an anchor (T-shaped) method.

Recovery after breast reduction

After the operation, the patient is in the clinic one day. Still on the operating table, a compression bra is worn on her. I recommend wearing it around the clock for two weeks. Painful sensations disappear on the second day after the operation.

Dr. Aaron J. Mayberry, MD, FACS, Albuquerque Plastic Surgeon

However, there will be postoperative edema for a while. Once it disappears, you can continue to lead the usual life. The only thing that is categorically contraindicated during the recovery period is exercise (1-2 months). This is very important for recovery.

If a woman has small children, I recommend finding someone who will help them take care of them the first weeks after the operation. If she works in the office, then she can return to her duties after 10 days after breast reduction. If the work of the patient involves physical activity – after 3-4 weeks.

I recommend waiting at least six months after the operation before becoming pregnant. As for breastfeeding after reduction: it is possible, but not in all cases. If the nipple is moved during the operation, then breastfeeding is not possible afterwards.

If the nipples remain in place, the milk ducts are destroyed only by 30-40%, and feeding may be possible at the expense of the remaining ones. It is never possible to predict how the reduction of breast on lactation will affect, so I recommend doing this operation after childbirth.

Heavy Breasts Can Lead To Physical Discomfort

We turn to the question that excites absolutely all women who lie on the surgeon’s knife: “How to Get Rid of Scars?”.

I answer honestly: the scars will remain. There is no magic wand that could completely remove the scar. However, it can be minimized using a laser (with hypertrophic scars) or modern injections. My polls suggest that if a woman faces a choice: to get the perfect shape of the breast or to protect the skin from scars, – she will choose a beautiful breast.

How Much Does Breast Reduction Surgery Cost?

The price depends on the degree of hypertrophy of the breast and the amount of work to be performed. Therefore, the cost is calculated individually. The decrease in areola, which is performed during the operation, is included in its total cost.
