Some women suffer from breasts that are simply too large for their bodies to carry. These women can develop very serious medical problems because of their large breasts, which can lead to complications such as constant neck and back pain, skeletal deformities, and breathing problems. Although breast reduction is considered an elective cosmetic procedure, it can actually be medically beneficial to women with large and pendulous breasts. The biggest problem with such breasts is their disproportion to the rest of the body, which means that the upper body must deal with increased weight.
Women with large breasts would also suffer from deep indentations on their shoulders because of bra straps. Skin irritation is another symptom, since the body must deal with the excessive size and weight. Therefore, reduction mammoplasty, or breast reduction surgery, is a viable and smart option in such cases. This surgical procedure will remove excessive fat, glandular tissue, and skin from the breasts. The results are firmer, smaller breasts that are in proportion with the rest of the body. This will allow the body to function more efficiently and avoid the development of other issues in accordance with large breasts.
Breast reduction surgery is done under general anaesthesia. Therefore, there will be some preparation involved to ensure that your body is ready for the procedure. It may be required to have a mammogram before-hand as well, dependent on the consultation with a medical professional about the procedure. The mammogram will give the surgeon an insight as to what they can expect during surgery. If you are a smoker, we recommend that you reduce your smoking quota to half in preparation for the surgery. This is required 2 weeks in advance to ensure that your body is ready.
Since breast reduction surgery is performed with the goal of physical relief for women, as opposed to cosmetic improvement, the ideal candidate for such a type of surgery would be a woman who is troubled with large and pendulous breasts. This type of surgery will reduce the discomfort from physical activities, allowing you to be more active and live the life that you want. We also recommend that the breasts be fully developed before considering reduction mammoplasty. In rare cases, the surgery can be done before-hand, should there be any threatening medical conditions developing already. We also recommend that women get through their planned pregnancies before considering this surgery, as the relocation of the nipples will make the breasts incapable of nursing a child.
