Macromastia is a common syndrome, which indicates enlarged breasts in women. Not every woman is happy and proud of her big assets. Breast reduction surgery is getting popular among women these days and they are enjoying the immense benefits that they are getting out of it. For a successful surgery to be performed, a woman needs to be completely open with her surgeon and needs to elucidate to the doctor, each and every problem she is going through. This gives the surgeon enough insight of the situation and helps him to make a diagnosis in a more proper and efficacious way. The patient needs to inform the surgeon regarding the amount of breast tissues she wants to remove and the surgeon usually takes pictures of the breasts. Our surgeons provide expert care and make sure that you feel free with them throughout the surgery. A breast exam and mammogram is done to know the condition of the breasts and the patient is required to confess the details of food habits, smoking and drinking habits, if any.
A patient needs to be in proper shape and health before diving into the surgery of breast reduction. We provide general anesthesia before starting the operation and a patient usually needs to stay in the hospital for one night. Sometimes, the surgery goes on for two to five hours and even more. The area near the nipple is cut in a downward fashion and an area is recovered in the form of a key hole. Extra fatty tissues are removed from the breasts and nipple is repositioned. Stitches are done according to need and the number of stitches is decided by the surgeon depending upon the size of the tear. After the surgery is completed, we provide medicated gauze to the patient to wrap around the breasts.
After the completion of a successful breast surgery, the patient needs to take rest for at least one week. However, the healing process also depends upon the immunity of the patient. The bandages and stitches need to be removed as per the mentioned date and you need to follow-up with the doctor as per the instructions. While recovering, some patients might complain about getting tired and feeling dizzy, but this a common symptom as the body becomes weak after a surgery. Patients need to take care of not lifting any heavy objects for at least a month post the surgery.
There are no side effects of the breast reduction surgery performed at Noble Hospitals. However, scars are the general after effects. Scars do worsen if the patient lifts heavy objects; therefore utmost care needs to be taken. It is important to consult with the doctor with regards to the scars and the patient needs to learn some basic exercises and follow certain procedures that will help reduce scars over time. There are several myths about breast reduction surgery which says that the milk ducts get damaged and a woman may not be able to breastfeed her kid. However, this situation totally depends upon the quality of surgery done. When you are going under the knife at Noble Hospital, we make sure that you come out of it healthy, as we adhere to our quality of services and strive for a collaborative effort.
