What is it?
Breast reduction mammoplasty is the surgery that treats breast hypertrophy (excess breast volume).
Recognised as one of the surgeries that results in the greatest gains in quality of life, reduction mammoplasty makes it possible to reduce the size and reposition the breast in a higher position, improving not only its shape, but also the entire framework and relationship with the rest of the physiognomy. This achieves a significant improvement in overall appearance and boosts self-confidence.
In fact, excess breast volume has a negative impact on a woman's life, with frequent physical complaints:
- shoulder, neck or back pain;
- grooves in the bra strap area;
- bad posture;
- excessive perspiration, redness, itching and sometimes sores in the breast crease.
In addition, large, sagging breasts are a major constraint on women's lives, and they suffer from daily limitations:
- difficulty in choosing clothes;
- constraints on physical exercise;
- maintaining proper hygiene.
