Mammary Reduction
Why?
Certain women are embarrassed by the weight or the lack of firmness of their breasts. They can even suffer pain in the back or shoulders and experience difficulties of a psychic nature. A mammary reduction can therefore be performed for medical or aesthetic reasons.
Mammary reduction involves the removal of mammary tissue, which differentiates it from a breastlift. It can be combined with a correction of the areola or the nipple.
The Intervention
A mammary reduction takes two to three hours and is performed under general anaesthesia. A first incision is made around the areola and a second, vertical, departs from the areola down to the fold under the breast. The surgeon removes the excess of skin and/or glandular tissue. He then repositions the nipple and the areola.
Results and Post-Operative Treatment
The stitches can be removed 10-14 days after the operation.
The final result can be seen after three months.
