Breast Reduction Manchester

A condition known medically as Macromastia, large breasts are caused by the overproduction of glandular tissue in the breasts and can be coupled with poorly positioned nipples. This concern often develops during puberty but gaining weight and hormonal changes can also be contributing factors, some things which can commonly be as a result of getting older.

Breasts that are quite large can also be quite heavy, causing the affected person to develop other conditions such as back pain, shoulder pain, poor posture and a rash or irritation in the crease below the breasts. The appearance of enlarged breasts can often be considered unattractive to the affected person and cause a lack of self-confidence regarding body image, impacting on personal / intimate relationships as well as finding difficulties with certain clothing.

It is through these incisions that excess fat and glandular breast tissue will be removed. Whilst the operation is in process, the nipple will be suspended on a stem of breast tissue, known as the pedicle, before being repositioned to face more upwardly. The individual structure of your breasts can determine which technique regarding scarring Mr. Marando will use and the type of pedicle, to maintain blood supply to the nipple.

Depending on the size of the necessary reduction, the patient will be treated as either a day case, or will be advised to rest for one night in hospital for observation purposes. You will then be sent home with a course of pain relief and will be required to wear a surgical supportive bra without underwire, for around 6 weeks.

A series of follow up consultations will be required and Mr. Marando will arrange these. He will offer support and advice through the whole of your recovery period, while assessing how well you are healing. Results from the operation will continue to develop gradually, with the final outcome being noticeable in around 9 months.

Having enlarged breasts reduced to a more naturally pleasing size can often feel liberating for the affected person. The person may feel they have opened up their options regarding what they are comfortable to wear, and have had the burden of physical discomfort and feelings of self-consciousness lifted.

Although it is possible for breast tissue to grow back, the removal of glandular tissue along with maintaining a healthy weight and BMI can help to ensure longer lasting results.
