Breast Reduction in South Africa
Breast reduction surgery may be considered by women with very large, pendulous breasts
that may experience a variety of medical problems caused by the excessive
weight-from back and neck pain, skin irritation and breathing problems. Bra
straps may leave indentations in their shoulders. Excessively large breasts
can make a woman-or a teenage girl-feel extremely self-conscious.
Breast reduction, technically known as reduction mammoplasty, is designed
for such women. This procedure removes fat, glandular tissue, and skin from
the breasts, making them smaller, lighter, and firmer. It can also reduce
the size of the areola, the darker skin surrounding the nipple. The outcome
is to give the woman smaller, better-shaped breasts in proportion with the
rest of her body. Each case is treated individually.
Breast reduction is usually performed not only for cosmetic improvement
but also rather for physical relief. Most women, who have the surgery, are
troubled by very large sagging breasts that restrict their activities and
cause them physical discomfort.
In most cases, breast reduction isn't performed until a woman's breasts
are fully developed; however, it can be done earlier if large breasts are
causing serious physical discomfort. The best candidates are those who are
mature enough to fully understand the procedure and have realistic expectations
about the results. Breast reduction is not recommended for women who intend
to breast-feed.
