Breast reduction
This is a very interesting topic because the person who generally undergoes this procedure is the ideal candidate.
Why? Because those who choose to have breast reduction surgery do so exclusively for themselves. Unfortunately, plastic surgery procedures are sometimes requested to please others. This isn't a good idea, since we generally choose to do something with the hope of a better future. If the decision comes from us and we achieve the desired result, we are the judges and will have more confidence in ourselves and the outcome. However, when the judge of the result is a third party, we haven't gained confidence because we don't own the process or the decision. Furthermore, this third party often didn't even want the result we assumed they wanted. This translates not only into disappointment for us but also into a further lack of self-confidence.
As Paracelsus said many centuries ago: in this life nothing is poison and everything is poison, only the dose makes the poison.
Having excessively large breasts not only fails to meet the aesthetic characteristics of a well-defined breast that stands proudly on the chest, as previously mentioned , but it also creates problems in daily life . Those with larger breasts know that they hinder sports and physical activity: they add extra weight to the body, move in an exaggerated way, obstructing arm movements, for example, or causing back pain. Having breasts with unusual proportions makes choosing clothes difficult, as these proportions, which are not typical of most women, are not taken into account by clothing designers, and the range of possibilities for self-expression through clothing is considerably reduced. Finally, but no less importantly, they unfortunately attract unwanted and unsolicited attention to the breasts.

For all these reasons, even though friends and family members may not understand the decision of those patients who have had their breasts reduced, these women have chosen to have their breasts reduced, putting themselves and their well-being before the opinions of others.
In this procedure, the goal is not only to reduce breast volume but also to preserve the characteristic shape of a beautiful breast.
During a breast reduction , excess tissue is removed and the remaining tissue is reshaped. This can result in the inability to breastfeed. In someone who has never been pregnant, it's impossible to say whether the inability to breastfeed is due to the procedure or simply because the woman was not initially able to breastfeed, as up to 25% of women will be unable to breastfeed if they become pregnant.
The procedure is performed under deep sedation administered by an anesthesiologist. It lasts approximately 3 to 5 hours. Return to daily activities is gradual, taking two to three weeks. Risks are uncommon and include breast contour irregularities, visible scarring, seromas (small pockets of inflammatory fluid trapped within the body that must be drained to prevent breast contour irregularities), changes in breast sensitivity, and loss of breastfeeding ability. The most feared but rare risk is partial or total loss of the areola and nipple.
The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis, meaning you'll go home the same day after surgery. Pain is moderate and usually resolves within the first week after surgery. Physical activity should resume after one month.
The price range starts at $4750 (which includes pre- and post-procedure consultations, operating room use and supplies during the procedure, surgical and anesthetic team fees, and medications during recovery) and will be determined by the treatment plan suggested by your plastic, aesthetic, and reconstructive surgeon.
