The female breast has always been a symbol of beauty and womanhood. Therefore, it is no wonder that its shape, symmetry, and size influence the psyches of women.

In the course of life, due to hormonal changes, pregnancy, and nursing, the bosom gradually falls and the gland reduces in size. To address these changes, the only choice is surgery. The operation brings about very good visual results; however, scars will be present as they are necessary for the reduction of excess skin. In time, the scars will grow paler and disappear, becoming less conspicuous.

If the breast is too large, it is suitable to perform a mammary gland reduction. With significant gland reduction, the mammaplasty can include the addition of volume through silicon implants. The optimal age limit for breast reduction cosmetic surgery varies. It is generally done after the development of the mammary glands is completed, which is not before the age of eighteen. Regarding pregnancy, it is recommended that mammaplasty only be performed when the woman does not plan any pregnancies because pregnancy and breast-feeding result in changes of volume, producing a negative effect on the results of the surgery. Furthermore, there is a risk that the patient will be unable to breast-feed normally due to insufficient amount of breast milk because of an interference of the mammary glands.

The initial and very important step to be taken before any decision is made is a personal consultation with an experienced and licensed plastic surgeon. Any issues related to the size and shape of the breasts needs to be addressed and all motives or psychological reasons need to be addressed. Each surgery is unique to the individual and the surgeon’s individual approach towards the patient corresponds accordingly. A state of good health is an obvious prerequisite.

Almost always, scars remain around the mamma area and downwards towards the lower breast. The scar will resemble an anchor.

Patients stay overnight in the clinic and are usually released from the clinic the following morning. Before the patient leaves, the jelly bandages are changed and the drains are removed. Rest is recommended for several days and the patient should avoid physical strain. The bandages will be changed again on the 3rd or 4th day after surgery. The sutures are removed after 7 to 10 days. At this time, the patient will be instructed on scar pressure massage. The patient is advised to wear an elastic bra of a sport type. However, full physical load and activity are only permitted after one to two months. After a six-month period, regular check-ups at a mammary clinic are recommended.
