Having large breasts is usually seen as a blessing. For women who have smaller breasts, they may wish to have bigger breasts and even pursue undergoing breast augmentation surgery to enlarge their breasts. Though big breasts may be traditionally seen as the standard, there’s a big community of women who wish they had smaller breasts. Just like surgery can give patients the bigger breasts they’ve been wishing for, breast reduction surgery can also reduce the breast size of patients tired of being big-chested.
What is Breast Reduction Surgery?
A breast reduction surgery decreases the size of the breasts. Also known as a reduction mammaplasty, it involves the surgeon removing excess fat, glandular tissue, and skin. This can be accomplished in a variety of ways such as through liposuction.
Liposuction involves the surgeon using a cannula tube to remove fat from the body. In some cases, liposuction may not be enough leading to the surgeon making incisions to remove any extra skin.
Good candidate for breast reduction surgery
The surgeon can use various techniques to reduce the size of the breasts. Because these techniques usually involve multiple incisions, it’s important for patients to be a good candidate for the surgery. One of the obvious factors that play a role in a patient being a good candidate for breast reduction surgery is that the patient has to have large breasts. It’s ideal for patients to have breasts that are so large that it isn’t proportionate to the body.
A good candidate for breast reduction surgery will not only have heavy breasts but areolas and nipples that point downward. The procedure is also a good option for patients who have uneven breasts that are noticeably disproportionate. Fortunately, the surgery can fix a breast that is bigger or smaller than the other.
Drawbacks of having long breasts
Most patients who undergo the surgery have experienced back, neck, and/or shoulder pain due to the weight of their breasts. They also may have experienced painful indentations on their shoulders from bra straps or even skin irritation beneath the breasts.
Large breasts may inconveniently limit the physical activity of patients. It can also make individuals self-conscious about their body. You should look up at our profesional plastic surgery.
