Breast Reduction Surgery: Worried About Pain and Scars? April 31 Plastic Surgery

Breast reduction surgery, if you were hesitant because you were worried about pain and scars — April 31 Plastic Surgery!

There are various ways to enhance feminine appeal, and the most noticeable feature is the breasts. That is why many people want to improve their shape into the line they want and express their appeal.

The reasons women want to improve their breasts are diverse. Some have naturally small breasts, or others experience sagging and loss of elasticity due to excessive weight loss, pregnancy, and childbirth.

Today, for those who want to improve sagging breasts, we will look into sagging breast correction at April 31.

  Just as each person has different features, the same is true for breasts.

Therefore, it is advisable to proceed differently depending on each person’s type.

If ready-made bras are difficult to wear, bra marks remain for a long time, and there is pain in the neck, shoulders, and lower back, as well as eczema under the breasts,

for large, sagging breasts of D cup size or larger,

improvement is possible through breast reduction surgery.

For sagging breasts of B cup to C cup size, where the breasts sag when bras are removed and there are concerns about pain in the neck, shoulders, and lower back, or eczema under the breasts,

improvement is possible through sagging breast correction.

Lastly, for small, sagging breasts of A cup size or smaller, where the breasts have sagged and become loose, volume and elasticity have decreased due to aging, or size and elasticity have dropped sharply after childbirth,

improvement is possible through augmentation mastopexy.

 

Then, are sagging breast correction and breast reduction surgery different?

The two are similar in many ways, but we have divided them into two categories to explain them according to each person’s desired outcome.

To put it simply, if you are satisfied with the volume but want only the sagging shape improved, you can choose sagging breast correction.

If the breasts are too large and you want them to become smaller, it is advisable to choose breast reduction surgery.

In such cases, the sagging shape is also improved as a basic result.

Previously, people were worried about pain and scars during breast reduction surgery, but at April 31, procedures are carried out using methods that can help reduce these concerns. In the past, an anchor-shaped incision was used. The anchor-shaped incision was a traditional method, but it had the disadvantage of leaving many scars.

At April 31, only periareolar incisions and vertical incisions are used. Of course, the method that is best for the patient is the periareolar incision method, which leaves the least scarring, but there are limitations in the range that can be corrected with this method. Therefore, it can be selected only in limited cases when a reduction of about half a cup to one cup is desired. For other cases, the vertical incision method is used. Compared with the anchor-shaped incision method, the vertical incision method shortens the scar length by about 20 to 30 cm.

In addition, to help prevent scarring, the wound is closed using special sutures and Botox is injected. After correction, a scar care clinic is operated where treatment can be provided in various ways depending on the timing and the condition of the scars.

Most cases receive taping and basic laser treatment, and if some scars become more prominent, additional laser treatment, injection treatment, medication treatment, or treatment using silicone sheets is actively provided. 

Also, to minimize pain, during correction, careful steps are taken to minimize damage to the breast nerves, and before finishing the correction, a special anesthetic that lasts about 8 to 12 hours is injected around the breast nerves to reduce pain immediately after the procedure.

Since this is a correction procedure involving incisions, you may want trustworthy medical staff. At April 31, there is a dedicated operating room nurse for breast surgery, and the procedure is performed by a dedicated breast surgery medical team.

Director Kim Jae-woo, the plastic surgery specialist in charge of breast plastic surgery at April 31, provides customized treatment after one-on-one consultation and also checks recovery management, so you can look forward to the breast line you want.

April 31 Plastic Surgery is following preventive safety guidelines in preparation for COVID-19, and is doing its best for the safety and health of patients.
