Breast Reduction - Female (Mammaplasty)
Introduction
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The long-term physical implications of over-sized breasts are varied, with chronic backache being the most common complaint. The increased pressure on the spine, over time, can cause serious pain and suffering.
Considering breast reduction, via a cosmetic surgery, and reducing the gland quantity immediately reduces this pressure with the added potential benefit of improving the shape and symmetry of the bust. The quantity of gland displacement ranges from 200 to 1,500+ grams. The greater the breast-ptosis, (drooping breast), and breast size, the higher risk of complication around the healing areola. The ability to change your physical appearance can be as important as maintaining good health and physical fitness when it comes to boosting your feelings of self-esteem and confidence.

Breast Reduction – The Surgery
Post-Operative Course
The patient will usually stay at the clinic for about 2-3 nights following surgery and will wear a compression bandage and a special surgical support bra. This bra has to be worn day and night for 14 days to 3 weeks. If a drain has been inserted during the surgery, it is usually removed within 24 hours.It is not possible to sleep face down for a period of 5 weeks after breast reduction surgery. Within a few days, however, patients are able to shower. On discharge from the clinic you will be given instructions so that you know how to change your dressings. You will see your plastic surgeon several times after the surgery, so that he or she can keep an eye on your recovery.
After 2 weeks, patients can resume everyday activities, while avoiding anything too strenuous. Any bruising and swelling will usually resolve within 1–2 months.
How Will I feel After the Breast Reduction Surgery?
You might also notice that you feel unhappy or depressed a few days after breast surgery. This is a normal consequence of stress and of undergoing general anaesthetic, frustration with the healing process, more pain than you expected or the fact that you are away from your home and family.
