There are many reasons a woman might consider breast
reduction surgery. Examples for reduction include the following: annoyingly
large breasts, dissatisfaction with the look of the breasts, painful
indentations on the shoulders from a bra, and reducing the risk of breast
cancer. Breast reduction surgery, or reduction mammoplasty, removes some
tissue and skin from the breast while lifting it in the process. This surgery
can also reduce the size of the areola, the area just around the nipple, to
make the breast more visually appealing. Though reduction mammoplasty has many
benefits, there are also risks involved.
Large breasts can be painful and limit a woman¼s physical activities, such as
sports. Sports can be next to impossible with large breasts by making these
activities awkward and difficult. Back pain is probably the biggest complaint
of large-breasted women, contributing to an already reduced activity level.
Women tend to also be sensitive about their breasts' appearance. Not many
women can say they have Ýperfectÿ breasts. Breast reduction can make many
women more comfortable and confident with their bodies. Undergoing this
procedure can make breasts firmer and lighter.
The number of breast cancer victims grows larger every year. Because the
threat of breast cancer seems to be lingering on many women¼s minds, more and
more women are becoming increasingly uncomfortable with their breasts and
breast size. By reducing breast size a women can reduce her chance of breast
cancer by around 30%. For women over fifty, that number jumps to around
50%.
Some problems with breast reduction are bothersome but can be lived with. The
most common risk is scarring. Usually, though, the scars fade or completely
disappear. Other risks include loss of feeling in the nipples and inability to
breastfeed. Some risks directly related to the surgery include infection and
bad reactions to the anesthesia. A relatively new form of breast reduction is
liposuction, which seems to have fewer risks and is easier on the patient
altogether.
Anyone considering breast reduction should always consider every benefit and
risk before going through with the surgery. Breast reduction can greatly
benefit uncomfortably large breasted women; however, those considering this
procedure must always keep in mind that it will have a very large impact on
all aspects of their lives.
