By Mehta Shreya | Submitted On November 23, 2016 Recommend Article Article Comments Print Article In breast reduction surgery, some part of the tissue and skin from the breast is removed so that the size of the breast reduces and it can be shaped too. It is a simple procedure where a surgeon makes a cut and removes excess tissue as well as skin and closes the cut with stitches. Sometimes the nipple and the areola need to be removed and repositioned after the surgery. If most of the breast consists of fatty tissue, liposuction is used along with surgery. Typically general anesthesia is used and the surgery takes around three to four hours. Why? Most of the times, breast reduction surgery is performed to change the size, weight, firmness and shape of the breasts. Here are a few reasons why many women undergo this surgery: Usually, large, heavy breasts can cause back ache. They are known to cause neck pain too. This sometimes also results in posture problems. Many undergo this surgery to simply feel comfortable. Some women undergo this surgery to alter their appearance. When breasts grow out of proportion to your height and weight, it causes a lot of self-consciousness and you feel physically and emotionally uncomfortable. The results of a breast reduction surgery are generally permanent. The only reasons they might get larger again are due to pregnancy, weight gain or weight loss. Risks Some of the most common risks of this surgery are: Scars: This type of surgery requires an incision on the breasts and will definitely leave a scar. But, how bad the scar is depends upon the type of incision and varies from person to person. Initially these scars look red and swollen, but typically fade over a period of time. In some women, these scars remain noticeable. Many times, unevenly positioned nipples or breasts may not turn out to be the same size or shape. Loss of feeling in the breast or nipples is often seen as another risk. This condition is often temporary, but may last for a few months. For some women, it may last for a longer period of time and may seem almost permanent. Inability to breast feed is another major risk of this surgery. Depending on the type of surgery done, some women may be able to continue breastfeeding. Some of the other less-common risks include damage to the blood supply that greatly delays the healing process. Excessive bleeding can occur during surgery. Sometimes there could be infection around the area where the incision is made. Blood clots could occur in large veins that travel up to the heart and lungs. Many of the risks are serious and some of them are even life threatening. Breast reduction surgery hence requires careful consideration and many a times it is considered only when it is medically necessary in order to reduce back pain, skin problems or other physical problems caused by heavy breasts and not solely to change appearances.
