The procedure commonly known as breast aesthetics, or breast lift, is in high demand in cosmetic surgery. What are the reasons for the need for breast aesthetics

The breast reduction method is a plastic and aesthetic surgery that allows you to reduce the size of a large and sagging breast or correct breast asymmetry.

Breast reduction surgery also allows for the alleviation of discomfort related to excessive breast volume, such as back pain, cervical, lumbar, and breast area pain, headaches, respiratory problems, dermatitis, and discomfort caused by bra straps. In addition to addressing aesthetic and psychological issues that may arise from limitations in clothing selection, performance in sports activities, sexual life, or social interactions due to excessively large breasts, breast aesthetics is indicated for women who desire to reduce and alter the shape and size of sagging breasts or nipples.

Breast ptosis may be attributed to various factors: skin characteristics, fat composition, glandular component, pregnancy, breastfeeding, significant and sudden weight loss, aging, menopause, etc.

Breast ptosis can be classified into four different degrees based on the loosening of the breast and the breast mound-areola complex position. The surgical treatment of breast ptosis involves excision of excess skin, folding the gland to a higher position, relocating the areola-nipple complex to a more superior position, and possible placement of implants.Breast ptosis can be classified into four different degrees based on the loosening of the breast and the breast mound-areola complex position.

The Effect of Large Breasts on Cancer

Very large breasts can pose difficulties in the diagnosis and monitoring of potential breast cancer lesions in some women, and breast reduction surgery, as a percentage of the removed volume, also allows for a decrease in the frequency of breast cancer occurrence.

What Are the Risks of Breast Reduction and Breast Augmentation Surgeries?

Breast reduction and breast augmentation are relatively complex surgical procedures that often yield excellent results and provide great satisfaction for both the patient and the performing surgeon. When performed by a plastic surgery specialist experienced in breast shaping in accredited facilities, the outcomes are generally very good. However, it is a real surgical procedure where complications such as bleeding and infection, although rare, can still occur but can be easily addressed when performed by a specialist in an authorized facility.

To reduce the risk of complications, it is essential to carefully follow the advice and instructions given by the surgeon before and after the surgery. Smokers should reduce their smoking habits as smoking can increase the risk of complications and delay healing.
