Breast Reduction Problems With Breast Hypertrophy

Breast Reduction Problems With Breast Hypertrophy. When their breasts grow redundant, breasts are often a source of pain, reduced mobility and psychological discomfort. Physical activity is limited, posture changes gradually because of the effort to offset the weight of the breast, which causes chronic pain in the back, neck, and shoulders. In addition, the constant stress of the bra strap produces significant indentation in the shoulder skin. Breast hypertrophy affects women with infections and skin irritation. Finally, women with too big breasts have great difficulty finding suitable clothes and panties.

Breast with high fat proportions

After menopause, most of the breast gland tissue is replaced by fatty tissue, which is why older women are usually treated with liposuction (with breast removal or not) as part of breast reduction. Younger women who are more or less overweight and whose breast volume is a problem also have high breasts, so they are good candidates for breast reduction with liposuction. The proportion of female breast fat can be determined using a mammogram.

All patients are not eligible for breast reduction with liposuction

Some patients require traditional breast reduction to remove all excess tissue (fat and gland). Among those who are not eligible for breast reduction with liposuction, there are patients whose breast proportions are larger than the proportion of fat.

Heavy breast dosage

Excessively enlarged breasts usually contain only a small amount of fat. For breasts that seem to 'fall' and which contain only a few tissues, breast reduction with liposuction will not bring satisfactory results. The appearance of falling and 'hollow' breasts usually requires excessive skin excision and breast implantation of the prosthesis (breast removal coupled with breast enlargement).

Dense breast tissue

Some women have breasts with a high proportion of glands. Breast reduction with liposuction can remove fat, but glandular tissue withstand liposuction. In this case, liposuction is not indicated

Excessive volume

Breast reduction with liposuction is not possible to exceed a reduction of more than 50% of breast volume. Patients who want a greater reduction should turn to traditional breast reduction.
