It is possible to suffer from health and emotional problems as a result of having large breasts. It is possible to experience physical discomfort and pain on top of self-image issues. You may find it difficult to lead an active life if you are carrying excess breast tissue. There is often a psychological component as well as physical discomfort and pain associated with large pendulous breasts.
Patients who are experiencing neck or back pain due to breast weight, are having difficulty finding clothes or brassiere that fit, are dissatisfied with large and heavy breasts, or are experiencing chronic under-breast rashes may be suitable candidates for this procedure.
Despite the fact that breast reduction is an extremely satisfying procedure, it is still a surgical procedure. It is important to find a board-certified plastic surgeon and speak with him or her about your medical history, medications, and allergies. It usually takes 3-5 hours and, in many cases, there is no overnight hospital stay required.
It is possible that you will not get the exact cup size you imagined, that you will have some scarring, and that your nipple sensation may change temporarily or permanently. You may also have difficulty breastfeeding after the procedure. As a result, breast reduction is a customized procedure. Considering the pros and cons and discussing them with your surgeon is a good idea.
The American Society of Plastic Surgeons reports that the average cost of breast reduction (for only aesthetic patients) is $5,913. Anesthesia, operating room facilities, and other related expenses are not included in this average cost. To determine your final fee, please contact your Altman Aesthetic Center.
For breast reduction, the surgeon’s fee will depend on his or her experience, the type of procedure used, and the location of the office. Be sure to ask your surgeon whether he or she offers patient financing plans.
Breast reductions are believed by many women to be helpful for weight loss both because of the extra motivation and because some breast weight is removed during surgery. It is important to consider how weight loss will affect your surgically reduced breasts if you have breast reduction before losing weight. A previous breast reduction may have a different cosmetic outcome after major weight loss due to changes in the skin.
When women lose weight, whether through bariatric surgery or traditional methods, their breasts may change in appearance. A patient may consider breast surgery after weight loss if these changes may cause significant dissatisfaction.
Plastic surgeons may ask you to lose weight before they perform the reduction if you are overweight. For breast reduction surgery to be successful, patients must be at their ideal weight because fluctuating weight can cause breast size to change. Your breasts may sag further if you have a breast reduction and then lose a significant amount of weight.
The tissue in your breasts is susceptible to changes in your body that can trigger them to grow again. The endocrine system is particularly important to breast tissue, which grows according to hormonal fluctuations. As far as your body’s growth and development are concerned, hormones rule the show. A woman may experience them during puberty, pregnancy, weight changes, menopause, or even in certain medical conditions.
It is also possible for your breasts to grow back due to unhealthy habits, including poor diet and exercise, and certain medications can affect the way your body produces hormones. Take care of yourself and listen to your body to keep your smaller breasts at their new size. You can maintain a healthy body and balance your hormones by eating right, exercising, drinking plenty of water, and getting plenty of sleep. Staff at Altman Aesthetic Center will provide patients with guidance on what to expect during their procedure and how to get the most out of it.
