This section
will take a look at the subject of Breast Reduction. Other topics
that contain information for women can be found further down the
page.
You
need to get the necessary information to make an informed decision
about traditional breast reduction, male breast reduction, breast reduction by liposuction
and other cosmetic plastic surgery procedures. Breast reduction surgery involves the removal of skin
and breast tissue to reduce the size of overly large breasts.
Breast
reduction is usually performed
for physical relief rather than simply cosmetic improvement. In
most cases, breast reduction isn't performed
until a woman's breasts are fully developed; however, it can be
done earlier if large breasts are causing serious physical discomfort.
Large
breasts can cause back pain, postural problems and distress for some women.
In
most cases, candidates are women who experience medical problems
because their breasts are excessively heavy. These conditions
include back, neck or shoulder pain caused by the weight of the
breasts; heavy, sagging breasts with low nipples and areolas;
disproportionate appearance of the breasts in relation to the
rest of the body; skin irritations beneath the breasts.
According
to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, more than 70,000
women underwent breast reduction surgery in 1999, while fewer
than 40,000 women had the procedure performed in 1992.
Since
many patients elect to have reduction mammaplasty surgery performed in order to alleviate pain and
discomfort caused by overly large breasts, breast reduction procedures are often
covered by medical insurance.
If
you suffer physical pain, discomfort or other disabilities as
a result of very large or oversized breasts, breast
reduction will often be covered by your medical insurance.
Breast reduction, or reduction mammaplasty,
is a cosmetic surgery procedure designed to reduce the size of
the breasts by removing fat, tissue, and skin. Patients who undergo
breast reduction usually seek relief from physical pain caused
by overly large breasts, rather than simple cosmetic improvement.
This
procedure reduces the size of overly large breasts, which may
cause medical problems or self-consciousness. Breast reductions
have been extremely successful for women with very large, pendulous
breasts who have experienced medical problems caused by the excess
weight of the breasts, including back and neck pain, skin irritation,
skeletal deformities and breathing problems.
Breast
reduction surgery generally lasts two to three hours.
Breast
Reduction is a surgical method of size reduction of the
breasts, relieving the weight burden, and usually producing an
improvement in breast shape. Mastopexy
or Breast Lift is a similar but distinct technique, designed to
cosmetically restore a youthful breast
shape and tissue firmness, but not remove any breast tissue.
Breast
reduction doesn't usually require
a blood transfusion. Breast reduction, technically known as reduction
mammaplasty, is designed for such
women.
