Breast Reduction

Located above the center of gravity- on the upper torso, breasts exert a direct pull force on the shoulders, neck, thoracal and lumbar vertebras.

As a result, chronic headache, neck, waist and back pain, collapse of the shoulders, postural problems, hand numbness, recurrent breast yeast infections are almost inevitable by time. In older ages, osteoporosis can make this annoying situation intolerable

 

Beyond all these factors, the event has a psycho-social dimension. The person cannot exercise, dress as she wishes, or be shy in social relationships because of curious looks.

Quality of life in women with large breasts (gigantomastia) were shown be at the same level as angina pectoris (cardiovascular patients) or kidney transplant patients (Kerrigan 2000,2001).

The situation is not different in the young patient group. For those who have surgery in the 16-20 age group, 95% of patients stated that they would recommend the surgery to their friends and relatives , and 89% reported an improvement in their quality of life (Nguyen 2013).

Breast reduction improves quality of life incredibly, among all other aesthetic surgeries.

The aesthetic aspect of the reduction surgery cannot be ignored. It is not possible to talk about a standard breast shape for people of different height, weight and body structure.

The desired size and shape of the breast is discussed with the patient; physical structure , age, skin and breast characteristics of the main determinants of the final result. As well as that, some patients want fuller and larger breasts, while others want more tissue to be removed. This requires the use of different techniques for different people.
