Macromastia is a medical term used to describe the state of having disproportionate, large breasts with average size body. Large breasts are a cause of chronic back, neck and shoulder pain and may lead to deep grooves in the shoulders from bra strap pressure and skin rash under the breasts. It also results in poor posture. Large breasts are also difficult to assess for lumps or masses, thus making cancer detection much more difficult for the patient or for her physician.
Besides the physical discomfort they are a major reason for restricted levels of activity and low self-esteem in women.
Women with disproportionately large breasts face difficulty in wearing or fitting into certain bras and clothing, which again hampers their self image.
The most effective and permanent solution for correction of abnormally large breasts is breast reduction surgery. With senior and experienced surgeons at Indicure breast reduction surgery has excellent outcomes.
The health benefits of the surgery include relief of pain in upper back, neck and shoulders; reduced shoulder pressure from bra straps; increased ability to exercise and participate in physical activities. The surgery also increases the comfort level of a woman. She is able to breathe and sleep easier.
Besides health benefits, it has great aesthetic results as well. It recontours and reshapes the breasts. It lifts hanging breasts and also reduces the size of the areola, if it is too large. It makes the woman’s body look more beautiful and harmonious and thus a more positive self-image. Most women who have breast reduction surgery with Indicure are highly satisfied with the results.
Typically, the procedure involves what is called an anchor incision that circles the areola and nipple and extends down from the centre, and follows the natural crease of the breast.
The surgeon then removes the fat, tissue and skin and move the nipple and areola to its new position on the breast. Usually nipples and areola remain attached to their blood vessels and nerves; however in some cases of very large breasts, the nipple area may have to be removed and grafted onto the breast in a higher position, which will result in loss of sensation in the nipple tissue. The surgeon then reshapes the skin to the contour of the breast.
