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.
