Free Yourself from Back and Neck Pain with the Help of Surgeons at Spalding Drive Plastic Surgery

While the issue of small breasts can greatly affect a woman's confidence and self-esteem, unhappiness with large breasts is more prevalent than one might think. In fact, larger breasts can contributed to a wide array of health issues and can be psychologically challenging for a woman to deal with on a daily basis. In cases like these, the most viable option to treat this issue is breast reduction surgery.

Health Issues Associated with Large Breasts

Although some women may choose to undergo breast reduction surgery for cosmetic reasons, more often than not patients invest in surgery in order to alleviate recurring health issues. Larger breasts are characterized by additional weight on one's chest, even when doing physical activities like bending over and lifting items. Therefore, this constant strain can create back pain that is unlikely to be resolved through alternative treatments. Oftentimes, this pain can even interfere with daily activities, such as working, exercising, even walking for long periods of time. Shoulder and back pain are also associated with large-breasted patients.

Expectations of Breast Reduction Surgery 

While there is no miracle cure for this issue, reduction surgeries can aide in alleviating pain and psychological issues that are associated with large breasts. As with any other surgery, patients will be required to stay in the hospital for monitoring for a certain period of time. Although pain medication will be prescribed, some pain/discomfort can be expected and the risk for infection is always present. A supportive dressing and/or bra will be necessary in the weeks to follow, and patients can expect to take approximately six weeks off from work and any other strenuous physical activities. Though breasts will be smaller and more symmetrical, it is unrealistic to believe that they will be perfectly identical. In addition, a permanent scar will document your journey. Although the scar may fade, it is unlikely to ever completely disappear.

Choosing a Surgeon 

Despite the initial yearning to save money on such an expansive surgery, finding a qualified surgeon to perform the surgery should be the top priority. Surgeons who are able to predict the end result with enhanced technology and who have exceptional experience in performing this type of surgery is highly recommended.

Mastoplexy at Spalding Plastic Surgery can be through various techniques

Mastoplexy, or breast lift surgery, is a surgical procedure that corrects the size, contour and elevation of sagging breasts. This sagging, also referred to as ptosis, occurs due to the effects of age, gravity, pregnancy or weight loss. During mastoplexy, the skin is tightened and the areola is repositioned to create a better, more youthful breast contour.

Mastoplexy at Spalding Plastic Surgery can be through various techniques, but there are three procedures that are most popular:  cocentric mastoplexy, vertical mastoplexy and anchor-shaped mastoplexy. General anesthesia is administered in all these procedures.

Concentric mastoplexy, also known as Benelli mastoplexy, is the least invasive procedure. In this procedure, concentric circles are drawn around the patient's sagging areola. The surgeon removes the skin and fat tissue around the markings. When enough fat and tissue has been removed, the surgeon moves the patient's nipple and areola upward. Then, the surgeon sutures the remaining surrounding tissue to the areola. This results in the woman having rounder, flatter and more proportionate breasts rather than a sloped breast. This procedure is ideal for women who have small, sagging breasts with nipples that have dropped to the breast crease. This procedure is not for women with large breasts, though.

With vertical mastoplexy, the plastic surgeon makes a vertical incision, descending from the areola to the bottom of the breast, across the chests. Then, the surgeon cuts a strip of skin along this incision and removes some excess skin. Once enough skin and tissue has been removed, the surgeon stitches the two sides and closes the incision. This procedure is useful in moderate ptosis- nipples that have dropped below the level of the breast. Plus, this procedure leaves much less scarring then concentric mastoplexy.

The most popular method is the anchor-shaped mastoplexy procedure. It can be performed on any person and even in advanced ptosis where the nipples point to the floor. The surgeon makes an anchor-shaped incision while following the natural contour of the patient's breast. The surgeon removes excess skin and breast tissue around the skin and reshapes the breast. The procedure ends with the surgeon stitching the patient's skin. The anchor contour is followed vertically down the chest as well as to the sides. This is the safest and most effective mastoplexy procedure.
