Breast reduction is a surgical procedure that can reduce too large breasts by removing both the skin and the breast. The procedure reduces the volume of the breast and corrects lethargy and any pre-existing asymmetry of the breast. The position and size of the areola and nipple complex can also be changed during a breast reduction operation.
The procedure is complex and time-consuming, therefore it is always performed under general anesthesia and can take from two to four hours depending on the characteristics of each case. The patient should spend 24-48 hours in a medical facility. Since the procedure involves significant surgical incisions to remove a portion of the breast, considerable edema can be expected.
The bandage is removed the next day after the operation. A new bandage will be placed in the incisions, and the patient should wear a special bra. Usually it is a sports bra that will provide support for a new breast. Even if there are no stitches to remove (they completely dissolve), the patient should return to the medical center to remove the drainage pipes a few days after the operation.
Several follow-up consultations take place about a month, three months and six months after the operation. These post-operative consultations are necessary for the success of the intervention. During these sessions, the surgeon evaluates the results, evaluates the healing process and monitors your recovery.
In the first months after the operation, several complications can occur, such as serous and bruising, swelling and bruising, infection, etc. Some of these can be seen and easily diagnosed by the patient, but others will require the evaluation of a plastic surgeon.
Weakening of the wound can also occur after an operation to reduce the breast. It is important not to treat and treat side effects or possible complications at home or follow some tips on the Internet. A plastic surgeon better knows what to do in each situation, and therefore it is important to go to postoperative consultations after a breast reduction operation
