Breast Reduction
Concern
Extremely large breasts can lead to severe physical problems such as bad posture, chronic back pain, and headaches. In many cases, patients also suffer from rashes beneath the breast. Psychologically, affected women can develop low self-esteem, depression, and social phobias.
Treatment:
In order to reduce breast fat volume, glandular tissue and skin must also be reduced. This very common procedure is performed under general anesthesia, with suture removal after 12 days.
Hospital Admission: 0 – 1 night
Recuperation Time: 3 weeks
Post Surgery
After dressings are changed on the second day after surgery, the patient will begin to use a post-operative bra, preferably one with an opening at the front with broad elastic bands.
