Know About the Procedure of Breast Reduction Abroad

Having a more attractive chest area doesn’t always mean bigger breasts. To many, it’s all about proportion and shape. Women who have large breasts choose surgery not only to create a more beautiful breast contour, but also to achieve better proportions, improve breast symmetry, and ultimately, eliminate sagging. This cosmetic surgery reduces the size and the weight of large and heavy breasts by removing excess fat, tissue, as well as stretched skin, thus reshaping and reducing the size of the breasts. In breast reduction, patients can also choose to make the dark skin that surrounds the nipple (the areola) smaller.

Skin and tissue from the breast are removed by making one or several cuts in the breast, after which the remaining skin is closed with stitches. The nipple and areola often have to be removed and repositioned to align them with the new breast shape. Some amount of liposuction may also be used along with the procedure of breast reduction surgery. In fact, liposuction alone may work for breast reduction if the excess skin is not an issue and if most of the patient’s breast is fatty tissue.

Immediately after your surgery, the incisions are covered with gauze and the breasts are wrapped in an elastic bandage. A special surgical bra may also be used to support the new breasts. In some cases, a small tube may be inserted in each breast to drain fluid and blood for the first days after the operation. Most will also experience breast pain few days after the surgery and some mild discomfort for a couple of weeks. This is why good aftercare should always be considered when deciding to go through the procedure. The best way to ensure recovery after breast reduction is to take a medical holiday and spend your recovery period being pampered and cared for by professionals in a resort-like setting that is complete with everything you need for a safe and comfortable recovery.
