What is Breast Reduction Surgery?
Breast reduction is a surgical intervention designed to reduce the size, reshape and lift the breasts.
When should you consider for breast reduction surgery in Dubai by Dr Frank Conroy?
You might consider it if you have very large breasts that are making you self-conscious, causing discomfort or contributing to issues like neck pain, back pain, or other related symptoms.
Why is Breast Reduction Surgery Performed?
Breast reduction in Dubai is meant for people with large breasts that result in:
- Persistent back, neck, and shoulder pain
- Persistent rash or skin irritation under the breasts
- Shoulder grooves from bra straps
- Nerve pain
- Limitations in participating in certain activities
- Poor self-image due to excessively large breasts
- Difficulty fitting into bras and clothing
How to Prepare for Breast Reduction in Dubai?
Before undergoing the breast reduction surgery in Dubai, our plastic surgeon, Dr. Frank Conroy, will:
- Review your medical history and overall health status.
- Discuss your desired breast size and how you want them to look after the surgery.
- Examine and measure your breasts.
- Describe the surgery, its associated risks and benefits, including the likelihood of scarring and potential loss of sensation.
What Can You Expect During Breast Reduction Surgery?
Typically conducted under general anaesthesia, breast reduction surgery involves complete unconsciousness throughout the procedure. The surgery typically lasts about 2 to 3 hours, sometimes longer.
The surgeon usually:
- Creates an incision encircling the nipple and areola, extending downward on each breast.
- Eliminates surplus breast tissue, fat, and skin to diminish the size of each breast.
- Reshapes the breast, repositions the nipple, and adjusts the surrounding area, known as the areola
The nipple and its surrounding area typically remain connected to the breast. In cases of extremely large breasts, Dr. Frank may need to relocate and reconstruct the nipple.
Dr Frank will try to make your breasts look symmetrical, but breast size and shape might vary slightly. The areola size might also be reduced.
Although incision scars will gradually fade, they won’t completely vanish over time.
Recovery Guidelines
- Plan to take at least a week off from work or school.
- Proper care of incision sites is essential for minimising scarring. Surgeons often guide scar management, including using scar creams and avoiding sun exposure to the incisions.
- Utilise a supportive surgical bra or compression garment to minimise swelling and support the breasts during the initial healing phase.
- Pain and discomfort are expected initially, and prescribed pain medications help manage any postoperative pain.
- Refrain from engaging in heavy lifting and strenuous activities for a minimum of one month.
- Communicate any emotional reactions or concerns, such as feeling depressed, to your doctor.
What are the Risks Associated With a Breast Reduction?
Like any surgical procedure, breast reduction surgery carries potential risks and complications. Some of the potential risks of breast reduction surgery include:
- Temporary bruising
- Scarring
- Bleeding
- Difficulty or inability to breastfeed
- Differences in the size, shape, and aesthetic appearance of the left and right breasts
- Dissatisfaction with the results
- Rare instances of nipple or skin loss and associated loss of sensation.
It’s crucial for individuals to discuss these risks with their surgeon thoroughly, follow pre- and postoperative instructions, and attend all scheduled follow-up appointments.
