Most women prefer moderately large and voluminous breasts. This is because I believe that the shape and size of the breasts are important in order to appeal feminine charm. For this reason, if the breast size is small or saggy and lacks elasticity, the problem is usually improved with implants or autologous fat.
However, there are also cases where breasts are too big and people have a complex. Although it is not a common case, if your breasts are too large and heavy, you may experience great discomfort in your daily life. If your breasts are too large for your body type, your upper body will look big, which can make it uncomfortable to wear clothes, and you may also feel burdened by the gaze of others.
In addition, if the chest is heavy, it can cause pain in the neck, shoulders, and lower back, and spinal deformation may occur. The skin under the chest continues to rub, causing physical pain such as skin breakdown. If the discomfort is significant, it is best to consider breast reduction surgery.
The most important thing during breast reduction surgery is to set the size according to the individual’s body type and proportions and to select the appropriate surgical method. Depending on the incision shape, there are various methods such as vertical incision, areola incision, and ㅗ-shaped incision.
The ‘vertical incision method’ is mainly used for gigantomastia, and the ㅗ-shaped surgical method is gradually decreasing. This is because the vertical incision method is more effective in mass reduction and sagging correction, and the scars are cleaner than the ㅗ-shaped incision method. In addition, the incidence of local side effects is low, providing excellent safety and cosmetic effects. It can be applied to breasts of any size, and is most preferred because it can create a beautiful cone-shaped shape after surgery. After incising the areola, make a vertical incision of approximately 4 to 5 cm to remove the breast tissue. It has the advantage of preserving sensation in the nipple area and allowing surgery without hospitalization.
If the breasts are not very large and do not sag too much, the breast size can be adjusted through the ‘areola incision method’. The advantage of this method is that the scar is formed only around the areola and is barely noticeable, creating a natural shape.
If the breasts are very large and saggy, the ‘ㅗ-shaped incision method’ is performed. By making an ‘ㅗ’ shaped incision around and below the areola, there is a scar compared to other incision methods, but a dramatic size reduction effect can be achieved.
Wonju Hwang, director of Daejeon Dr. SMI Plastic Surgery, said, “Breast reduction surgery is a surgery with high post-surgery satisfaction as it reduces volume and weight, improves shoulder and spine health, and allows posture correction through recovery. However, since the surgical method varies depending on the individual’s breast size and degree of sagging, thorough analysis and consultation with an experienced specialist before surgery is essential.”
Director Hwang continued, “As breast reduction surgery is performed using various incision methods and is highly difficult, it is most important to create a customized plan that takes into account all aspects, including tissue conditions and overall body shape and proportions, which vary from person to person. “After a detailed examination, surgery must be decided through sufficient conversation with experienced professional medical staff. It is best to carefully examine whether the hospital is equipped with university hospital-level professional equipment, has a safe surgical system, and is thoroughly followed before deciding on surgery,” he added. .
