Breast hypertrophy is an affliction characterised by an increase in the volume of the breasts over and above normal proportions. This hypertrophy may arise in puberty (virginal breast hypertrophy) and amongst its causes is hypersensitivity to female hormones. Despite the skin in young women tending to be tonic, the appearance of this pathology tends to cause stretch marks. In the adult woman, hypertrophy tends to be due to an increase in the fatty tissue that invades the breast structure. \u00a0As a consequence, the breast tends to be large, hard, inelastic and with precarious vascularisation.<\/p>\n
This breast hypertrophy leads the patient to change her social conduct, affecting the choice of clothing, the practice of sport and even causing significant complexes, particularly in young women. The excess weight that breast hypertrophy implies frequently leads to functional disorders such as back pain or alterations in the position of the spine, emphasized by the habit these patients tend to have of hunching the shoulders forward to push back the thorax and thereby hide the size of their breasts. A breast reduction or reduction mammoplasty is a surgical technique that has as its principal objective the modification of the shape and size of the breast to adapt it to the cosmetic and functional requirements of the patient.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_tabs container_bg_color=”#ffffff”][vc_tab title=”Preparation” tab_id=”1493401102547-2-0″][vc_column_text]It requires a blood test, electrocardiogram and an x-ray.<\/p>\n
During consultations prior to the surgery, an examination of the breasts will be undertaken for the purposes of evaluating structure and volume and advising the patient of the most suitable procedure for her particular case.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tab][vc_tab title=”Hospitalisation” tab_id=”1493360346-2-43″][vc_column_text]\n

There are many procedures for reducing and lifting the breast but, in summary, they all seek two fundamental objectives: to lift the areola and the nipple and to reduce the size of the breast, thereby achieving a volume, shape and swelling as close to perfection as possible, with hidden residual scars. \u00a0The classic breast scars in the shape of an inverted T have been increasingly replaced with smaller vertical scars, but in cases of very severe hypertrophy scars continue to be required in the submammary fold.<\/p>\n
Duration of the surgery: between two and three hours.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tab][vc_tab title=”Postoperative Care” tab_id=”1493401144718-3-10″][vc_column_text]\n
