BREAST REDUCTION & BREAST UPLIFT SURGERY

The breast reduction procedure, also medically known as reduction

mammoplasty, is fairly common. There are several reasons that patients

may choose a breast reduction surgery. Often patients with large

breasts tend to feel self-conscious and uncomfortable, and in some

cases, it can also lead to mild to severe back pain.

Breast reduction with uplift, also known as reduction mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to reduce the size and weight of the breasts while improving their shape and position. This procedure addresses two key concerns:

Reduction: Excess breast tissue and fat are removed, leading to a smaller breast size and a lighter weight.
Uplift: The remaining breast tissue is repositioned and reshaped, creating a perkier, more youthful appearance. This addresses sagging or drooping breasts caused by factors like gravity, weight fluctuations, and pregnancy.

BENEFITS OF BREAST REDUCTION WITH BREAST UPLIFT

The benefits of breast reduction with uplift are:

Improved Physical Comfort: Reduced breast weight significantly alleviates back, neck, and shoulder pain along with improved posture and decreased strain on your upper body
Enhanced Exercise Ability: Larger breasts can make physical activity uncomfortable. With a reduction, you can participate in exercise routines with greater ease and confidence.
Reduced Skin Irritation: Excessive breast tissue can lead to chafing and skin irritation under the breasts. Reduction surgery can eliminate this discomfort.
Improved Confidence and Body Image: Many women experience a significant boost in self-confidence and a renewed sense of freedom after breast reduction with uplift.

AM I A GOOD CANDIDATE

While breast reduction with uplift is a life-changing procedure for many women, it’s not for everyone. Factors that might indicate you’re a good candidate are:

You experience physical discomfort due to large breasts.
You have difficulty finding well-fitting clothes.
You struggle with activities like exercise due to breast size.
You desire a more balanced and proportionate figure.
You have realistic expectations about the outcome of the surgery.

PROCEDURE

During your initial consultation at Cornerstone Clinic, Dubai Marina, our surgeon will discuss your concerns, goals, and medical history. Dr. Maurizio Viel will perform a thorough physical examination to assess your breast tissue, skin elasticity, and overall health. The surgeon will then walk you through the steps involved, which typically include:

Pre-Operative Consultation: This will cover all aspects of the surgery, including anaesthesia options, potential risks, and recovery expectations.
The Surgical Procedure: The surgery itself is typically performed under general anaesthesia. The specifics of the technique will vary depending on your individual anatomy and desired outcome. However, it most often involves making incisions around the nipple and areola and sometimes along the crease beneath the breast. Excess tissue is then removed, and the remaining breast tissue is reshaped and repositioned to create a smaller, lifted appearance. The nipples and areolas might also be repositioned, if necessary.
Recovery: After surgery, you can expect some swelling, bruising, and discomfort. Pain medication will be prescribed to manage these. You’ll wear a compression garment for a specific period to support healing and reduce swelling. Recovery typically takes 6-8 weeks, with most daily activities resuming within a few days, while strenuous exercise should be avoided for several weeks.

CONSIDERATIONS

While breast reduction with uplift is a highly effective procedure, it’s important to consider these additional factors:

Scarring: Like any surgery, breast reduction will leave scars. However, the incisions are strategically placed to minimise their visibility. With proper care and time, these scars will fade significantly.
Breastfeeding: Depending on the technique used, this surgery could affect the ability to breastfeed. It is crucial to discuss this concern with your surgeon during the consultation.
Long-Term Results: Breast reduction with uplift offers long-lasting improvements in breast size and shape. However, maintaining a healthy weight and lifestyle is important for maximising the longevity of your results.

Coupled with the addition of a family GP at the clinic, who I have now moved over too, having so many health and wellness services under one roof in my end of the city is wonderful"
