What is Breast Reduction Surgery?
Breast Reduction Surgery is a cosmetic and functional procedure that removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to reduce the size and weight of the breasts. This surgery reshapes the breasts, making them smaller, firmer, and more proportional to the rest of the body. At ONE CLINIC, our expert surgeons focus on creating a natural-looking result that provides physical relief and enhances your self-confidence.
Instructions Before Breast Reduction Surgery
To ensure a successful surgery and smooth recovery, it’s important to follow the pre-operative instructions provided by your surgeon at ONE CLINIC:
- Consultation and Medical Evaluation: During your consultation, our experienced surgeons will assess your breast size, shape, and health, as well as discuss your goals and expectations. We will create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
- Stop Smoking: Smoking can impair healing and increase the risk of complications. It is essential to stop smoking at least 2 weeks before and after surgery to promote optimal recovery.
- Avoid Blood Thinners: Refrain from taking blood-thinning medications like aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs, and certain supplements for at least 7 days before surgery to minimize the risk of excessive bleeding.
- Stay Hydrated and Eat a Balanced Diet: Drinking plenty of water and maintaining a healthy diet rich in nutrients will help prepare your body for surgery and support the healing process.
- Prepare for Recovery: Arrange for someone to drive you home after surgery and assist you during the first few days of recovery. Have comfortable, loose-fitting clothes, and all prescribed medications ready in advance.
Instructions After Breast Reduction Surgery
Post-operative care is critical for a smooth recovery and to achieve the best results. After your Breast Reduction Surgery at ONE CLINIC, follow these aftercare instructions:
- Wear a Supportive Bra: You will need to wear a surgical bra or compression garment for several weeks after surgery to reduce swelling and support your breasts as they heal.
- Avoid Strenuous Activities: While light walking is encouraged to promote circulation, you should avoid heavy lifting, strenuous activities, and exercises that strain the chest area for at least 4-6 weeks.
- Care for Your Incisions: Keep the incisions clean and dry, and follow your surgeon’s instructions on how to care for them to prevent infection. Avoid soaking the area in water (baths or swimming) until cleared by your surgeon.
- Maintain a Healthy Diet and Stay Hydrated: Proper nutrition and hydration are essential for a successful recovery. Focus on eating lean proteins, fruits, and vegetables to support tissue healing.
- Take Prescribed Medications: Your surgeon may prescribe pain relievers and antibiotics to manage discomfort and prevent infection. Follow the medication schedule as instructed for optimal healing.
- Attend All Follow-Up Appointments: Regular follow-up appointments are necessary to monitor your recovery and ensure that everything is healing properly. Your surgeon will check the incisions, breast shape, and overall progress.
Healing Time for Breast Reduction
First Week: You may experience swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort, which are normal in the first week. Most patients can return to light activities and work within 1-2 weeks, but you should avoid strenuous activities.
2 to 4 Weeks: Swelling will begin to subside, and the breasts will start to take on their new shape. Most patients can resume light physical activity by 4 weeks, but you should avoid intense exercises involving the upper body until cleared by your surgeon.
3 to 6 Months: Full healing can take up to 6 months, during which time the final results will become more apparent as the breasts settle into their new, natural shape.
Scarring After Breast Reduction Surgery
Lollipop Incision: A vertical incision from the bottom of the areola down to the breast crease, allowing for more significant reshaping. This is often combined with a periareolar incision.
Anchor Incision: An incision that goes around the areola, vertically down to the breast crease, and horizontally along the inframammary fold. This is commonly used for patients requiring a more extensive reduction.
Over time, with proper care, scars will fade and become less noticeable. We recommend scar treatments such as silicone sheets, creams, or laser therapy to further minimize the appearance of scars within 6-12 months.
Who is a Candidate for Breast Reduction Surgery?
Breast Reduction Surgery is ideal for women who experience physical discomfort or self-consciousness due to overly large breasts. Candidates typically experience:
- Chronic Back, Neck, or Shoulder Pain: Large breasts can strain the spine and muscles, leading to constant discomfort.
- Skin Irritation: The skin under the breasts may become irritated, rash-prone, or infected due to excess weight.
- Difficulty with Physical Activities: Women with large breasts often have difficulty participating in physical activities, such as running or exercising comfortably.
- Posture Issues: Excessively large breasts can affect posture, leading to long-term complications.
