تعريف

    • Rash under the lower portion of the breasts
  • Large breasts—due to genetics or following pregnancy
  • Breast asymmetry—may be due to previous surgery to one صدر (egmastectomy or lumpectomy)
  • Large male breasts, known as gynecomastia—can be related to hormonal changes, medicines, or other health conditions

After the surgery, your breasts will be smaller and more symmetrical in appearance. They should reflect the size, shape, and symmetry you desired.

وصف الإجراء

The doctor will cut around the nipple and areola. Skin, fat, and breast tissue will be removed in a specific pattern. Depending on how much breast tissue is removed, the doctor may need to reposition the nipple and areola higher up on the breast tissue.Liposuction, a vacuum procedure used to remove excess fat, may also be used. The amount of scarring will depend on the amount that the breast is reduced and the amount of repositioning needed to the nipple and areola. The scarring can occur around the areola, around the areola and down to the breast crease, or around the areola, down to the breast crease, and along the breast crease.

Depending on the extent of operating required, the doctor may place a small flexible tube in one or both breasts to drain any fluid from the early phases of healing. These drains may need to stay in place for several days. They can be removed in the doctor’s office. You will not need a second surgery to remove them.

The cuts in the breast skin will be closed with tiny stitches.
