• Vertical - around the areola and vertical to a fold under the breast. This method is the least traumatic, but it is suitable only for a small amount of work.

• Anchor or T-shaped - in addition to the vertical incision, an incision is made in the submammary fold (under the chest). This method is necessary with a strong decrease in the gland (from 500 grams). The seam in this case will be more noticeable.

The main reason for breast reduction surgery is dissatisfaction with its appearance.

• chronic pain in the shoulders, neck, lower back.

• minors;
• the period of pregnancy, lactation and planning of children;
• blood diseases (clotting disorder, low hemoglobin level, etc.);
• infectious diseases and inflammations;
• oncological diseases;
• diabetes mellitus;
• true hormone-dependent gigantomastia;
• formations in the mammary glands.

The decision to perform the operation is made by the doctor on the basis of the patient's examination and the results of tests and studies (urine, blood, chest X-rays, mammography, etc.)

If the state of health does not cause concern, then the date of the operation will be appointed. Two weeks before this day, the patient needs to stop smoking, alcohol, taking medications that affect blood clotting.

The operation is performed under general anesthesia. The duration of the procedure depends on the amount of work and the chosen technique: all this will be determined during a consultation with the surgeon. On the day of surgery, the patient is forbidden to eat.

Breast reduction is carried out in several stages:

1. Applying markings to the skin.

2. Cutting the skin in accordance with the marking.

3. Determination of the size of the areola.

4. Excision of excess skin and internal tissues.

5. Moving the nipple and areola to a new place with the preservation of nerve endings and blood vessels, as well as milk ducts.

6. Suturing: first internal deep, and then cosmetic.

After 1-2 days after the operation, the woman will be able to return home, but you can go to work only after 2-3 weeks.

After about 7 days, the patient needs to come for the first postoperative examination. In the future, examinations should be regular until complete recovery.

Strong physical exertion, including sports, is prohibited for 4-6 weeks.

Throughout the recovery period, it is necessary to wear compression underwear and protect against pregnancy.

In addition to the operation itself, in the clinic you will be able to undergo the necessary preoperative examinations, as well as recovery in a round-the-clock hospital under the supervision of medical personnel.
