Customised Breast Reduction: Tailoring the Perfect Fit
In the realm of cosmetic and reconstructive surgery, breast reduction emerges as a uniquely transformative procedure. Dr. Victoria Teoh, a distinguished UK based Dual Plastic and Breast Surgeon, specialises in personalising this surgery to meet each patient's specific needs and desires. In this post, we explore the intricacies of breast reduction, who can benefit from it, the techniques involved, and how it can be tailored just for you.
What is Breast Reduction Surgery?
Breast reduction, clinically known as reduction mammaplasty, is a surgical procedure aimed at removing excess breast fat, glandular tissue, and skin to achieve a breast size in proportion with the body. This surgery not only leads to aesthetic balance but also alleviates discomfort associated with overly large breasts, such as back and neck pain, posture issues, and skin irritations.
Who is Breast Reduction for?
Breast reduction can benefit a wide variety of individuals:
Women Experiencing Physical Discomfort: Large breasts can cause chronic pain, skin rashes, and even breathing issues.
Individuals Facing Emotional and Social Challenges: Those experiencing self-consciousness, difficulty finding clothes that fit, or unwanted attention.
Athletes and Active Individuals: Large breasts can impede physical activity, and a reduction can facilitate improved mobility and comfort.
Post-Pregnancy or Weight Loss Patients: Those seeking to address changes in breast size and shape post-pregnancy or significant weight loss.
The Benefits of Breast Reduction
By reducing breast size, patients frequently experience improved physical health, enhanced self-esteem, and a more active lifestyle. Improved posture and relief from chronic pain contribute to the procedure's high satisfaction rate. Furthermore, many patients report a profound psychological lift, enjoying newfound confidence and freedom in everyday activities.
Techniques used in Breast Reduction
Dr. Victoria Teoh employs various techniques to achieve optimal results:
- Anchor or Inverted-T Incision: The most common method involves an incision around the areola, vertically down to the breast crease, and horizontally along the fold.
- Vertical or "Lollipop" Incision: A less invasive option for moderate reductions, this involves a single incision around the areola and down to the breast crease.
