Is breast reduction surgery risky??

A large bust can be an attractive point, but at times it can also be a source of stress.

However, many people worry that breast reduction surgery is a risky procedure, and that is why they hesitate to make a decision.

So today, let’s take a look at what points are important in breast reduction surgery.

There may be various reasons why people think breast reduction surgery is risky,

but perhaps the biggest ones are that it is close to the heart or that the general anesthesia time is long.

However, these misconceptions about breast reduction surgery are incorrect.

The breast is made up of fatty tissue and fibrous glandular tissue within a semicircular skin envelope, which means it is an external structure rather than an internal organ.

In other words, because there are no major blood vessels there, emergency situations during surgery are very rare.

It also has the characteristic of a long incision line, which gives a wide surgical field, so compared with augmentation surgery, breast reduction surgery can be said to be more stable.

However, reduction surgery does not focus simply on making the breasts smaller. It is a procedure in which you must find the intersection of size, shape, scar, symmetry, fast recovery, and safety, so compared with augmentation surgery it can be said to be more difficult.

In other words, because it is a difficult and demanding surgery, it is greatly influenced by the surgical cases and expertise of the medical team.

And an important point in reduction surgery is securing the stability of the nipple.

From a functional standpoint, improving a sagging nipple requires partially disconnecting it from the surrounding skin and then attaching it to the remaining skin to create a nipple pedicle through which blood vessels can pass.

The cup size after improvement

is proportional to the length of the nipple pedicle before surgery, and if the pedicle is long and folds when it is wrapped in, its blood circulation may become compromised, which can lead to necrosis, so caution is needed.

Therefore, it is necessary to secure blood circulation to the nipple and then reduce the remaining tissue.

Breast reduction surgery is not so much a major surgery as it is a long surgery.

In particular, because a large volume must be reduced, resection takes a lot of time, and because aesthetic details must also be preserved, it tends to take relatively longer.

In the case of very large breasts, even an experienced medical team needs about 5 hours, but at our clinic, reduction surgery is performed through collaboration between a breast surgery specialist and a plastic surgery specialist, so the surgery can be completed within 2 to 3 hours.

As you can see, breast reduction surgery is not as burdensome a process as you might think.

However, as mentioned earlier, it is important to reduce the burden on the body, and since it requires expertise, please make sure to research carefully before proceeding.
