Breast Reduction: Info, Prices, Photos, Reviews, Q&A

Operations for breast correction appeared relatively recently. The history of such attempts has dragged on for decades.

The search for breast reduction technique is closely related to mastopexy – a breast lift.

One of their first attempts was recorded in 1897. Michelle Poussin tried to perform a breast reduction surgery (reduction mammoplasty) for a woman.

Through an incision above the nipple, he removed excess tissue, resulting in a smaller breast, but the result was not satisfied neither by the doctor nor by the patients, since the kind of mammary glands left much to be desired.

The next attempt was an operation for a breast lift, conducted by Ippolit Moristen at the beginning of the 20th century.

During the operation, the talented surgeon came across an important problem, he did not know how to move the nipple to a new place. This problem was solved only in 1921, when Max Terek during the operation came up with the idea of how to move the nipple-areolar complex to a new location.

Of course, for many years and decades, plastic surgery has made a huge leap in development. Despite this, breast reduction surgery is also being done rarely, more often in those cases when the patient has a very large volume of mammary glands.

Here we are talking about a disease such as gigantomastia. Such a condition is not only performed with an aesthetic purpose, but also has medical indications, since the large breasts negatively affect the spine.

What is gigantomastia?

At a time when some women tend to enlarge their breasts, others suffer from its too large size. Gigantomastia is an overly enlarged mammary gland. With such a disease, the breast size is so large, that it prevents a normal life and causes extreme discomfort, and also adversely affects a woman’s health.

A huge bust not only interferes with movement and various kinds of actions, but also traumatises the spine, causing osteochondrosis in women, and in some cases provokes the appearance of intervertebral hernias. The normal volume of the female breast is 250-300 cm3. Gigantomastia can result in the massive enlargement of breast tissue, can occur during puberty or pregnancy.

This disease is divided into four stages:

• Stage 1. Minor breast enlargement, very often not requiring surgical intervention (400-600 cm3).
• Stage 2. Hypertrophy is relatively pronounced (600-800 cm3).
• Stage 3. Expressed hypertrophy (800-1000 cm3).
• Stage 4. Hypertrophy has its own separate name – gigantomastia. At this stage, the chest is presented in volumes of 1500 or more cm3, which is almost six times the normal size.

Clinical manifestations of gigantomastia

• Expansion of the nipple and areola, with a small amount of pigment.
• Chest, which has an excessive size, in proportion to the whole body.
• Extended subcutaneous veins of the mammary glands.

Breast reduction surgery is more often performed for women after 30 years of age. It is advisable in the future not to plan pregnancy due to changes in the hormonal background of the body.

Indications for reduction mammoplasty

The main indication for breast reduction surgery is the desire to reduce their volume. Clear boundary is difficult to conduct.

Nevertheless, from the point of view of a plastic surgeon, breast reduction can be recommended, if the mammary glands are large and the following symptoms appear:

1. Ptosis of breast tissue.
2. The presence of pain in the spine.
3. Hyperemia (redness, as a result of the flow of blood) of the skin under the folds of the mammary glands.
4. Violation of the function of breathing during sleep.
5. Poland’s syndrome is a congenital pathology (underdevelopment of one of the mammary glands and excessive development of another).

Contraindications to reduction mammoplasty

1. Severe diabetes mellitus.
2. Presence of oncological diseases.
3. Decompensated diseases of internal organs.
4. Violation of blood clotting.
5. The period of breastfeeding or pregnancy.
6. Any diseases in the acute stage, or inflammatory diseases of the mammary glands.

Preparation for surgery

Consultation is the most important stage of preparation for surgery. The doctor must certainly tell about all the features of the body, about the transferred diseases. It is in the patient’s interest to learn about the process of the operation, the period of rehabilitation and possible subsequent complications. It is important on the consultation to find a mutual understanding between the patient and the plastic surgeon.

In addition, the doctor will prescribe a list of required tests.

In different clinics it can be different surveys. In our clinic, before the breast reduction surgery, the following types of tests are needed: a general blood test, a general urine test, blood for clotting, blood for RW, ECG, fluorography and ultrasound of the mammary glands.

At the consultation stage, the doctor measures the ptosis of the breast and the distance from the nipple to the clavicle, determines the volume of tissues to be removed. Also discussed are the places of the incisions (in their place the scars will form).

In order to avoid allergies to drugs, the type of anesthesia that is used during the operation is necessarily discussed. An allergy to modern anesthesia is extremely rare.

Preparing for an operation is not an easy process, which must be prepared both physically and psychologically. 14 days before surgery, you should stop smoking and taking alcoholic beverages, as well as taking medications that worsen blood clotting. Immediately before the operation applied preoperative marking and take photos, as the breast changes its shape in the supine position.

Course of the operation

The operation to reduce the breast is quite traumatic and is one of the complex cosmetic operations performed on the mammary gland. Breasts can be reduced to almost any size. The essence of the operation is to remove part of the breast and transfer the nipple to a new higher position.

The incisions are usually made from the nipple to the lower edges and from the nipple in the bottom part of the breast (T-shaped seam). This is done so that later the scars were not visible when wearing ordinary clothes. The surgeon removes excess skin and breast tissue, changes the position of the nipple and areola. After surgery, the breast becomes anatomically smaller and “younger”. Often, such an operation becomes the reason for reducing the risk of malignant degeneration of the breast. The total duration of surgery is 2.5-3 hours.

The period of recovery after surgery

After breast reduction surgery, the patient will feel discomfort in performing certain actions, reducing sensitivity and swelling of the breast, attacks of sharp and aching pain, bruising on the chest. The first 6 months of the breast will be unnatural. Breastfeeding after such an operation is not always possible, this question must be checked with the doctor.

At first, bandages are applied to the chest and compression underwear is worn, which a woman should wear for 1.5-2 months, removing it only for showering. The sensations of a new breast will be unaccustomed, so you should be careful, since the scars the first week are very sensitive.

Cosmetic sutures, if necessary, are removed on the 10th day after the operation, internal seams dissolve themselves within 1.5 months. It is necessary to limit physical activity for the first 3-4 weeks after the operation.

Possible complications after surgery

1. Wrong breast shape.
2. Formation of rough scars.
3. Poor survival of a new nipple.
4. Impossibility of breastfeeding. It depends on the surgery chosen by the surgeon. Lactation is not always possible.
5. Deformation of the areola.
6. Swelling, bruising.

It is well known that more often unwanted complications occur in women who smoke. This complication, like swelling, develops almost always, this is the inevitable consequence of surgical intervention. More serious complications are extremely rare.
