Breast hypertrophy is characterized by excessive breast volume relative to a woman’s body morphology. This imbalance can cause not only psychological discomfort but also physical issues such as back and neck pain, skin irritation under the breasts, and difficulty in performing certain physical activities or finding suitable clothing.
Breast volume correction
Breast volume correction aims to restore harmony to the female body by adjusting breast size. This surgery, often viewed from an aesthetic perspective, also holds significant functional and psychological dimensions. It addresses two main concerns: breast hypertrophy and breast hypoplasia.
Breast hypertrophy
Breast hypoplasia
Breast hypoplasia, or underdevelopment of the breasts during puberty, manifests as small, underdeveloped, or asymmetrical breasts. This condition can lead to loss of self-confidence and a sense of discomfort in one’s femininity.
Preoperative consultation
Before any procedure aimed at correcting breast volume, an initial consultation is essential. During this stage, your plastic surgeon discusses your aesthetic goals and expectations. Following an examination and understanding of your needs, the best surgical approach for each patient can be determined.
Subsequently, an anesthesia consultation will be scheduled, and preoperative recommendations will be provided to you.
Procedure for Breast Volume Correction
Breast volume correction surgeries, whether it’s breast reduction or breast augmentation, are procedures performed in the operating room under general anesthesia. The choice of surgical technique will depend on the goals set with your surgeon.
Breast Reduction
Treatment for breast hypertrophy often involves surgery, known as breast reduction. This procedure aims to remove excess glandular tissue, fat, and skin to achieve breasts that are proportionate to the woman’s body shape. Breast reduction can alleviate physical symptoms and improve self-esteem.
Breast Augmentation
Women with hypoplastic breasts may choose breast augmentation, a surgical procedure to increase breast volume. This can be achieved through either the insertion of breast implants (saline or silicone) or the technique of autologous fat transfer (lipofilling).
Breast augmentation not only enhances the aesthetic appearance of the breasts but also restores the patient’s psychological balance.
If you aim to increase cup size, restore shape and fullness to your cleavage, or harmonize your breasts, the Mia method, a major advancement in breast surgery, represents the ideal solution for you. It involves a surgery lasting approximately fifteen minutes, from anesthesia to implant placement, utilizing next-generation implants.
Post-operative precautions
After surgery, it is crucial to follow the post-operative precautions recommended by the surgeon. These measures aim to promote optimal healing and minimize the risk of complications. They may include guidelines regarding rest, wound care, wearing specific bras, and avoiding certain activities.
Results
The results of breast volume correction are generally visible once the complete recovery period has passed. Patients can experience significant improvements both aesthetically and physically. These results often contribute to enhanced quality of life and renewed self-confidence.
