Purpose
Reduction of the Breast. Achievement of an aesthetically
harmonious breast size and
breast shape by volume
reduction.
Minimum
age
18
years
Methods
and procedures
By
the Breast
Reduction procedure
(technically: Mastopexy, Reduction Mammaplasty
or Reduction of Hypertrophic
Breast), over incisions
which vary in length and
position depending upon
applied technique and
according to desired final
result, surplus skin and
internal breast tissue are
removed. The breast is
re-sized and re-shaped.
In case of particularly large developed
breasts -
technically defined as
Gigantomastia
-
the operation of modelation requires specific skills
and experienced specialists.
Anesthesia
General
anesthesia
Hospital
stay
1-3
days
Recovery
Application of the post-operative compressive garment for up to
one week. Subsequently the
patient uses a special bra
for sports activities during
the first 30-50 days. Stitches
are removed after 10-14
days.
Longevity
The result of the new Breast
Reduction is in principle permanent. The
aging process may
compromises the result in
the course of the time in a
natural way. Pregnancy and
breastfeeding may also, in a
natural way, compromise
the result.
Notes
about the pros and cons of the different techniques of incision,
the risks of scar
visibility, and pre-and post
operative procedures to
ensure the best results. See
