Breast Revision Surgery
|
Indications - Breast Revision Surgery |
|
Breast reduction is performed for:
enlarged breasts ( macromastia), cystic breast infections (polycystic mastitis); back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, breast pain, headaches; loss of sensation in the breasts, arms, or fingers; sleeping problems or poor posture resulting from large breasts, pigmented bra-strap groove striae (scarlike lines) on the breasts
If you are considering mammoplasty, consult with a plastic surgeon and discuss your expectations.
Keep in mind that the desired result is improvement, not perfection. Emotional stability is an important factor, too. Breast surgery can renew your self-confidence and improve your appearance, but the rest is up to you.
Mammograms (breast X-rays) and a routine breast exam are required before surgery.
