Breast Reduction Surgery: Let’s Learn More About Common Questions About Breasts

Hello!

This is Moms Plastic Surgery Clinic.

Today, we’ll take some time to talk about things many of you may be curious about.

Usually, when people think of breast surgery, they assume that enlargement surgery is the only option.

However, the share of “breast reduction surgery” is gradually increasing.

Beautiful

Comfortable

A good fit for my body

It can be said that this is an era in which balance and harmony matter more than size.

What is the ratio of augmentation and reduction patients?

(Based on Moms Plastic Surgery Clinic)

Reduction and lift surgery account for about 80% Augmentation surgery accounts for about 20%

That is about the general ratio.

Rather than other people’s gaze and standards, more and more people are pursuing self-satisfaction.

Every woman’s breasts have a different shape.

Among them, those with more body fat often have breasts that are large but sagging.

“You mean this kind of breast needs a lift?”

You may have this question.

Even with the same size,

fatty type

glandular type

and depending on skin elasticity, rib cage width, and nipple position, the appearance can differ.

What makes a beautiful breast?

Because the breasts are part of the body shape, a beautiful breast is determined not by size, but by

“the overall balance of the body.”

In other words, breast reduction surgery should not be considered simply because the breasts are large or sagging.

Why do people undergo breast reduction surgery?

The words that women who undergo breast reduction surgery feel most hurt by are probably:

“Are you having breast surgery just to look prettier at that age?”

Of course, some people do it because their breasts are large or sagging and no longer look good, but most decide on surgery because they experience discomfort in daily life.

If the breasts are heavy, the shoulders are always tense, moisture collects in summer and causes rashes, clothes do not fit because of the breasts, and exercising becomes difficult because the breasts are too large.

Do people with small breasts also get breast reduction surgery?

People with breasts that have asymmetry or sagging skin also often improve the shape through reduction and lift procedures.

There are also people who want to reduce them even more because they dislike being sexually objectified.

What is difficult after breast reduction surgery?

The pain is not severe, but swelling and the restrictions that require caution can be inconvenient.

These days, tissue-preserving reduction is performed, so recovery is quite fast.

Most people can return to daily life in 2–3 days, but for one month, strenuous arm movements should be avoided.

For full-stretching movements such as raising your arms overhead, Pilates, yoga, and golf, it is best to avoid overhead arm motions for about one month.

Is breast lift surgery different?

Lift and reduction are not very different.

Breast lift surgery is a procedure that corrects the position of sagging breasts back to their normal position.

On the other hand, breast reduction surgery is a procedure that significantly reduces size while also correcting the breasts to their normal position.

In other words,

a reduction can be said to be a surgery that includes a lift.

Do reduction and lift surgeries use implants too?

Placing implants is augmentation surgery, and reduction and lift surgeries are procedures that redesign the shape using one’s own tissue.

It can be described as tissue rearrangement, where the pillar-like structure inside the breast is built up and the volume is redistributed.

Because there are no implants, there is temporary discomfort after surgery, but since there is no issue that will arise over time, satisfaction is high.

Which is more difficult: breast augmentation or breast reduction?

Reduction surgery is much more difficult.

Augmentation is simply a matter of placing filler into a fixed framework,

but reduction is like a sculptor refining marble to create a beautiful angel statue.

On top of that, stability, preservation of blood flow, size, shape, and even scars must be considered, so breast reduction surgery is a demanding procedure that requires experience and a refined sense.

Why are breast reduction and lift surgeries the main focus?

The sense of reward and satisfaction from creating beauty is quite high.

Reduction and lift surgeries must satisfy both treatment and cosmetic goals.

That is why they require concentration, and these days, because the surgeries are performed in cooperation with another surgeon, even if the time is cut in half, you still have to pay twice as much attention as when operating alone.

Still, the reason I can keep going without getting tired is thanks to the satisfaction and support of my patients.

A woman’s breasts are a part of the body that well expresses feminine beauty.

When I take good care of myself, beautify myself, and love myself, I believe my truly beautiful self is created.

Above all,

“I hope you become people who love yourselves.”

Thank you.
