Disproportionately
large breasts can occur during puberty and later during
pregnancy. In both these circumstances, the large droopy
breasts cause much discomfort because of the heaviness
and the embarrassing appearance. It can also lead to
back pain and difficulty in getting a proper bra. All
these are common reasons for affected women to seek
a breast reduction.
Breast
reduction surgery has evolved over the last few decades
to become a safe surgery with fabulous results. Conventional
techniques of breast reduction are open methods where
the excess tissue is excised and the breast parenchyma
is lifted and stitched in normal position. This entails
having visible scars on the breast. For an unmarried
woman having scars may be unacceptable.
Key
hole breast reduction is ideal for young women with
large breasts. The fat component in the large breast
is removed by the key hole technique using tiny access
points. This will reduce the size of the breast and
the associated heaviness. If the skin tone on the breasts
is good, there will not be any additional drooping from
the procedure.
Ideal
candidates for this procedure would be young women with
large breasts, good skin tone and only moderate degree
of sagging.
If
the sagging is beyond a certain limit, conventional
breast reduction would be ideal
