Hello, this is Uri Plastic Surgery.
Breast reduction is not just for cosmetic purposes; in many cases, people come in to address the inconveniences of daily life. Today, based on a breast reduction review from Uri Plastic Surgery, we will organize the surgical process, recovery, and key care points.
Reasons for Choosing Breast Reduction
The patient who sent in the review said that the breasts had sagged significantly for her age, and that since childhood she had experienced pain during exercise and many inconveniences, to the point that she could not go to swimming pools or public baths. After consulting with various hospitals, she ultimately decided to have surgery at Uri Plastic Surgery, and thankfully shared a detailed review.
Immediately After Surgery to Week 2
In the first two weeks of the breast reduction review, rather than throbbing pain, there was a feeling of tingling muscle soreness and heaviness in the ribs. Because breast reduction is a surgery that reduces fat and glandular tissue and removes sagging skin, muscle soreness can occur when the fascia is affected. However, for most people, it does not significantly interfere with daily life. They also said that the lighter feeling in the chest is noticeable right after surgery. Since the removed amount can range from 500 g to 2 kg, they said the sense of relief from the weight is much greater than expected.
Compression Band & Support Bra
As shown in the photo, the bra helps shape and support the breasts, and the compression band helps reduce swelling and prevent seroma. The length of time a compression garment is worn varies from person to person, but generally it is worn for about 1 to 3 weeks before and after suture removal. It plays a major role in preventing seroma (fluid buildup), so it must be worn in the early stage!
Suture Removal & Scar Care
In the first week of the breast reduction review, the first suture removal is done, and all sutures are removed on day 12. After removal, scar tape is applied right away, and care is managed by alternating ointment and tape in the morning and afternoon. At the hospital, scar improvement is supported with mosaic laser, pigment laser, and scar injections (with steroids used together). It is best to manage scars for about a year at 2- to 3-month intervals.
Breast Reduction Surgery Review
According to the review, after breast reduction, she could wear any clothes comfortably and even started playing tennis. With lighter breasts, the difference in movement during exercise was clearly noticeable. Breast reduction is a surgery that improves not only appearance but also neck and shoulder pain, skin irritation, and posture, so satisfaction tends to be high.
Breast reduction is not a surgery decided on impulsively. Most people have endured discomfort for a long time and finally gather the courage to come in for a consultation. If you are thinking about a breast reduction review, the most reliable approach is to consult directly with a specialist about your condition and what methods are available.
