Breast Reduction Cosmetic Surgery
by: T.Going
Breast reduction procedures are becoming more and more popular
these days. This surgery is known as mammaplasties.
Large breasts can cause various medical problems due to the
excessive weight on the chest in addition to skeletal deformities
and sometimes breathing problems. Disproportionately large breasts
can also lead to extreme self-consciousness.
Breast reduction is designed for women with these problems.
The procedure removes particular amounts of fat, glandular tissues
and skin from each side of the breasts. This allows the breast
to become smaller, lighter and more firm. The surgery also can
reduce the size of the areola (the dark skin surrounding the nipple).
The goal of the breast reduction surgery is to give the woman
smaller, firmer and better shaped breasts that will be more in
proportion to her body.
Recovering from a breast reduction procedure is very similar
to other breast surgery recoveries. After the surgery has been
completed, you wil be wrapped in an elastic bandage or a surgical
bra. A small tube may also be attached in each breast to drain
excessive blood and fluids.
Although this procedure is safe and has very few complications,
you may feel some pain for the first couple of days, especially
when you are moving around. General discomfort may last a week
or longer, but your doctor will give you medication to ease the
pain.
Most women can return to work and social events after around
two weeks, granted they are avoiding strenuous activity.
