] If you have large breasts and they make you uncomfortable during physical activities, find it difficult to find clothes and frequently give you back pain, you need breast reduction surgery.

Breast reduction is a surgery for women with large, heavy, sagging breasts that cause pain in the shoulder area, difficulty breathing and irritation of the skin under the breasts (dermatitis, eczema, mycosis).

If you are also experiencing these problems call and schedule a consultation and I, Dr. Bortolini, specialist in plastic surgery can help you get rid of these problems and restore your self-confidence! Although the most common cause of excessive breast enlargement is overweight, there are cases where young girls with normal weight may have disproportionate breast size compared to the rest of the body.

Unfortunately, with time, the skin will sag and the degree of breast ptosis will increase, which is why I, Dr. Bortolini, recommend that the operation be done as early as possible. In all these situations, surgical breast reduction is useful and improves appearance, complications (back pain, irritation, etc.), ability to make effort (sport) and most importantly: it increases self-confidence!

Breast reduction surgery reduces the volume of the breasts, corrects their shape and possible asymmetries, thus obtaining the breasts you have always wanted! Through the concept of integrated beauty, BE PERFECT by Dr. Bortolini, breast reduction surgery can also be combined with liposuction or other injectable procedures!

BEFORE BREAST REDUCTION SURGERY

During the consultation we will discuss everything involved in the surgery and I will answer any questions you may have. We will take measurements, discuss and choose together the implant that best suits you!

Your health will be assessed (any illnesses, allergies, medications you are taking). Afterwards we recommend a breast ultrasound/mammogram and blood tests.

Before the operation it is recommended to avoid the use of anti-inflammatory drugs (aspirin, nurofen, ketonal – they promote bleeding) for at least 14 days.

Contraceptives should be stopped 4-6 weeks before surgery because they increase the risk of complications (blood clots).

Excessive exposure to the sun or the sun should be avoided a few days before surgery.

It is also recommended to stop or at least reduce the number of cigarettes smoked per day (it hinders the healing process and complications may occur).

The operation is not performed during the menstrual cycle!

On the day of the operation you will not eat or drink anything for at least 6 hours before the operation.

It is recommended to avoid gel nails or nail polish because they interfere with the anaesthesia machines. It is also not advisable to use body creams in the morning.

BREAST REDUCTION SURGERY

Breast reduction surgery involves removing a portion of the gland, excess skin and lifting the breast and areola.

The procedure may affect the ability to breastfeed and the patient will take the risk of not being able to breastfeed in the future. In special cases, where the breasts are excessively large, the operation can also be performed on young girls who do not yet have children.

There are several types of breast reduction depending on how large the breast is and I use the following techniques:

Circumvertical – a scar around the areola and a vertical scar (from the areola to the submammary fold).
In anchor (“inverted T”) – a periareolar scar, a vertical scar and a horizontal scar in the submammary fold (most common).

Liposuction can also be used to shape the lateral portions of the breasts.

The breast reduction operation is performed under general anaesthesia and lasts about 3-4 hours.

Drainage tubes are used for 1-2 days postoperatively to eliminate possible blood or fluid collections and prevent complications.

Hospitalisation is generally 1-3 days.

The sutures are absorbable, of the highest quality (Monocryl) to ensure the best possible healing.

When leaving the operating room, a bra is put on and worn day and night for 2-3 months to support the breasts and obtain a better result.

AFTER BREAST REDUCTION SURGERY

I Dr. Bortolini recommend that in the first days of recovery you rest well, hydrate, meals should be light, small and regular.

Postoperative pain, more accentuated when lifting your arms, coughing, changing position, is present especially in the first days. Therefore, during this period you will follow an analgesic treatment.

Also during this period, local oedema (swelling of the breasts), colour changes (ecchymosis) and areola tenderness disorders (transient) which disappear in 2 weeks are possible.

In the first days after the operation an analgesic and antibiotic treatment must be followed for 5-7 days.

Drain tubes are removed 1-2 days postoperatively.

Threads are removed 14 days postoperatively.

Physical exertion and sports should be avoided for at least 2 months.

Check-ups will be at first every 2-3 days and then at 3,6,12 months.

RESULT OF BREAST REDUCTION SURGERY

The final result of breast reduction can be evaluated 1 year after breast reduction surgery.

Frequently, the scars have a pink and swollen appearance in the first months postoperatively, but then become whitish and less visible. The scars depend a lot on how each patient heals and sometimes, unfortunately, they can become white or brown.

The final colour and size (length and width) of these scars are not entirely predictable due to individual variations. If they are very visible and 1-2 years post-operatively, surgical intervention can be performed by repositioning them.
