REDUCTION MAMMAIRE<\/h2><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div>

Breast reduction makes it possible to reduce an excessively large volume of the breasts, to correct breast ptosis and thus to obtain two breasts in harmony with the patient’s morphology.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Excess breast volume<\/h2><\/div>
<\/div>
\n

Excess breast volume is most often associated with breast ptosis<\/strong> (sagging breasts), and sometimes with a certain asymmetry.<\/p>\n

Breast hypertrophy has consequences:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • physical: neck, back and shoulder pain, discomfort during sports, difficulty dressing…<\/li>\n
  • psychological<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Breast reduction can be covered by health insurance under certain conditions (reduction envisaged of at least 300 grams per breast).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

    What are the technical principles ?<\/h2><\/div>
    <\/div>
    \n

    The excess breast glandular tissue is reduced. The residual volume remains in harmony with the overall silhouette of the patient, in accordance with the patient’s desires evoked during preoperative consultations.<\/p>\n

    The breast is then reshaped, concentrated and lifted in case of ptosis by a breast lift.<\/p>\n

    The excess skin is removed to obtain a good curve and a good hold of the breasts.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

    Where are the scars placed ?<\/h2><\/div>
    <\/div>
    \n
    \n

    At a minimum, in case of hypertrophy and moderate ptosis, the final scar will be located around the areola, hidden at the junction light skin – dark skin and vertically under the breast between the lower edge of the areola and the submammary fold.<\/p>\n

    In most cases, a horizontal scar concealed in the submammary fold will also be made.\u00a0The length of the scars will depend on the extent of breast ptosis.\u00a0The size of the areola will also be reduced if it is too large.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
