    Breast reduction surgery

    Surely you have heard about breast augmentation before, but have you heard about breast reduction surgery? It may seem a bit strange because women in general always seek to highlight the feminine areas of their bodies clearly and attractively, but what if this area is so large that it causes women discomfort and dissatisfaction with the general appearance? Here, some resort to doctors to perform breast reduction surgery, which we will learn about the process in detail in this article.

    What is breast reduction surgery?

    Breast Reduction is a surgery through which some tissues and fats in the breast area are removed to reduce their size and return them to a normal size suitable for the body. This process is very similar to gynecomastia surgery.

    Types of breast reduction surgery

    There are two types of breast reduction, and each type is suitable for some cases rather than others, and this matter is decided by the doctor specializing in the case:

    • Breast reduction through liposuction: It is done under local anesthesia, and the doctor makes a very small incision, which is mostly in the fold area below the breast, then a special device probe is inserted to break up and dissolve fat, such as a laser or a vaser, and then the fat is suctioned out. This technique is used when there is no need to remove large amounts of fat.
    • • Reducing breasts through surgery: The operation usually requires general anesthesia. In addition to removing fat, some tissues and glands are removed, as well as cutting excess skin and lifting the breast.

    Necessary reasons for breast reduction surgery

    Some people may think that large breast size is not a real problem, and the problem may only lie in wearing some clothes that show the real breast size, but the matter is completely different. There are health problems that occur to women because of the large breast size, for example:

    • A feeling of chronic pain in the neck and back, in addition to nerve pain.
    • Persistent infections, itching, and irritation in the lower breast area.
    • Women’s inability to practice some physical and sports activities.
    • Difficulties in breathing during sleep.
    • Bad psychological state, due to the constant feeling of anxiety and loss of self-confidence, as well as the embarrassment of the size and shape of the breast.
    • Difficulty finding suitable clothes, especially bras.

    The appropriate time and age for breast reduction surgery

    As for the appropriate age, there is no specific age, as this operation can be performed starting from adolescence if the breast growth is complete. As for the appropriate time, you must plan and think well about the following cases, as postponing the operation will be the best choice:

    • If you suffer from obesity and start following a diet, wait until you reach your ideal weight. Breast size may decrease with the general decrease in weight.
    • After pregnancy and lactation, sometimes the hormones during this period affect the size of the breasts, and in most cases, the size of the breasts decreases after the end of the lactation period.

    What happens before breast reduction surgery?

    Before undergoing breast reduction, there will be some procedures and tips to follow:

    • Carrying out medical analyzes and examinations to ensure that there are no impediments to the operation.
    • The doctor checks the medical history of the family.
    • The doctor will ask to stop some medications before the operation, especially liquid medications if you are taking them.
    • Examine the breast area, and take measurements and dimensions to accurately determine the goal and expected result and their suitability for other body dimensions.
    • The doctor will ask you to stop smoking as well as consuming alcoholic beverages.
    • Ensure that there is no allergy to the anesthetic used during the operation.

    What happens after breast reduction surgery?

    Breast reduction surgery through surgical incisions may require overnight stay in the hospital for a night or two, but with breast reduction through liposuction with Vaser or laser, the patient can leave the hospital on the same day, and here are the most important post-op tips:

    • You must have a realistic image of the result, and although the result of the process appears immediately, it requires waiting for a period of up to a month until the final result appears.
    • Commitment to medication and antibiotics prescribed by the doctor.
    • Maintaining the cleanliness and sterilization of surgical incisions, to avoid the risk of serious complications and infections.
    • It is expected that there will be some mild pain, in addition to the presence of red or blue bruises in the breast area.

    How long is the operation and recovery period?

    The duration of the operation differs from one case to another, but in the case of breast reduction surgery through Vaser liposuction, the operation will not take more than one hour only.

    breast reduction surgery through surgical incisions may require two to three hours, and the recovery period may extend to four weeks.

    During the recovery period, the patient is required to adhere to rest and avoid some activities that cause stress and load on this area, such as lifting heavy objects or practicing some violent sports, and during this period the woman is obligated to wear a medical corset to support the area and help the tissues The skin will quickly adapt to the new situation.

    breast reduction surgery prices

    Many factors lead to a terrible discrepancy in the cost of breast reduction between one woman and another, and the most important of these factors are:

    • The amount of fat and tissue to be removed from the breast. Some may need to have a little liposuction only to achieve the ideal shape, while others need to remove a large amount of fat and tissue.
    • Doing other cosmetic procedures associated with breast reduction surgery, such as breast lift, cutting excess skin and tightening sagging, as well as correcting the nipple.
    • Anesthesia, medications, and materials used during the procedure.
    • The name of the doctor operating, the extent of his reputation, and his achievement of the required results.
    • The cost of the operation also varies from one country to another, due to several factors, the most important of which is the availability of doctors and clinics, as well as the change in the currency exchange rate from one country to another.

    Best place for breast reduction surgery

    If you dream of reaching the desired result, you must make sure that you put your trust and money in the right place, and Egypt is considered the first and highest country in the success rate of breast reduction, as there are many doctors with experience in this field, for example, Dr. Yasser Badi, He is considered the best plastic surgeon, body contouring, and breast augmentation in the entire Middle East region, and he has many successes and impressive results inside and outside Egypt.

    Is breast reduction surgery only for women?

    No, breast reduction surgery is suitable for both sexes, but in men, it is perhaps more famous as gynecomastia surgery, despite the use of the same techniques to treat large breast size in both sexes, and in men, breast reduction surgery is the last stage after a stage of initial solutions, and the most prominent of these solutions are hormonal drugs.

    Here we come to the end, and we must remind you, dear reader, that breast reduction surgery is not a luxury in many cases, as sometimes the neck, shoulder, and back pain develops due to the large size of the breast into serious complications or injuries, and therefore breast reduction surgery is the best solution to avoid all these problems.

  • Breast lift surgery

    Breast lift surgery

    Breast lift surgery is one of the important plastic surgeries for all women, as most women dream of having beautiful and full breasts as well as lifted and taut, and therefore Breast surgery works to achieve this dream for every woman, and many factors prevent the realization of this wish such as Pregnancy, breast-feeding, etc., but with Dr. Yasser Badi, this dream is now easy to achieve safely, using all modern techniques in Breast lift surgery.

    What is Breast lift surgery?

    In this surgery, sagging breasts are reconstructed and reshaped to form a natural breast. This method is used for those women who are not satisfied with the shape of their breasts, as over time the breasts become loose because the breast tissue loses its elasticity.

    From a medical point of view, this change and relaxation do not represent any problem, but for women, the matter is different, as this loses the woman’s self-confidence and makes her in a very bad psychological state. In this case, breast lift surgery is the appropriate solution to achieve the ideal appearance of sagging breasts.

    Causes of sagging breasts

    Many reasons lead to sagging breasts, and then breast lift surgery is performed, as Dr. Yasser Badi explains that the breast is one of the areas that are always subject to change in its shape, in terms of size and shape, and the reason for this is the many changes of hormones, which in turn effect on that area, and environmental factors also cause it, so Dr. Yasser Badi explains the most important factors causing sagging breasts, including:

    • Breast enlargement in adolescence due to excessive weight gain.
    • Unhealthy nutrition.
    • In cases of breast augmentation using incorrect methods.
    • Another reason is excessive exposure to the sun, which is considered one of the environmental causes that cause sagging breasts.
    • Breastfeeding or pregnancy.
    • Smoking, drugs, and alcoholic beverages.
    • The interruption of the menstrual cycle leads to a decrease and relaxation in the breast tissue.
    • Applying silicone fillings to enlarge the breast and using them in the wrong way.
    • Aging of the body and exposure to gravity.

    Breast lift surgery and breast reduction surgery and the difference between them

    1- Breast reduction surgery:

    • Is completely different from breast lift surgery, as the intended breast reduction is the removal of all the fat and glandular tissue present in the breast, as all this fat is dispensed to get rid of the large breast and obtain a small breast.

    2- Breast lift surgery:

    •  This fat or glandular tissue is not completely removed from the breast, as only an amount of excess skin is removed, and this amount is the main cause of breast sagging, meaning that Breast lift surgery has nothing to do with changing the size of the breast, but rather with reducing surface area only.

    Cases that are prohibited from performing Breast lift surgery

    Dr. Yasser Badi says that all women must ensure the suitability of the procedure with the woman’s health condition, as some cases are dangerous for women when performing this operation, and some cases may reach the risk of developing cancer. breasts, these cases are:

    • The presence of infections may affect the procedure.
    • During pregnancy.
    • Poor wound healing.
    • Breastfeeding period.
    • Cases of poor blood clotting.
    • Various autoimmune diseases.

    Necessary examinations before Breast lift surgery

    Despite Dr. Yasser Badi’s clarification above that some cases must be refrained from Breast surgery for them because of the danger they represent, but also for normal cases, the patient’s health condition must be confirmed before performing such an operation, through some examinations required by the doctor, and this shows the extent of medical honesty and honesty that Dr. Yasser Badi adheres to, and these procedures include the following:

    • Mammography.
    • Knowledge of the patient’s medical history.
    • Conducting a physical examination on the breasts in particular, to know the nature of the skin, the direction of the nipple, and the extent of the elasticity of the skin.
    • View previous surgeries.
    • Knowledge of the medications taken and the types of allergies that the case suffers from.

    Breast lift surgery

    • Breast lift surgery is done under general anesthesia, and it takes two to four hours.
    • Dr. Yasser Badi determines the method of making the incision in the breast as a result of the condition of the breast itself, as it is possible for the incision to be made in the crease under the breast, in the armpit, or around the circumference of the nipple.
    • After making the appropriate incision, the appropriate implant is inserted into the breast, and the incisions are closed by stitches in the breast tissue.

    Results of breast lift surgery

    • After the procedure, you will notice a slight swelling in the breasts after removing the bandages and the presence of some incision scars.
    • Dr. Yasser Badi confirms that all these symptoms will disappear within about a month.
    • There is some pain resulting from the operation, which will certainly disappear with the painkillers prescribed by the doctor, and it will completely disappear in a short time.
    • Dr. Yasser Badi emphasizes the need to wear the bandage for 3 days after the procedure, so the arm can be moved freely and then all the usual activities can be done
    • A supportive bra should be worn to help the wound heal quickly and maintain the shape of the breast.

    Ways to lift and tighten the breast

    There is more than one method through which breast lift surgery is performed, as it depends on the condition of the breast itself and the degree of its sagging, as follows:

    1- Simple breast lift

    In this case, breast lift surgery works to tighten the breast and raise it to a simple degree, by removing excess skin in the lower region of the breast, and then reducing the areola and moving the nipple up, as this is done by various cutting techniques, and in this case, the breast will not be relaxed once again.

    2- Breast lift while reducing the size

    This procedure is very suitable for those patients with large and sagging breasts, as it combines both a lift and partial removal of the glandular tissue of the breast.

    3- Breast lift with implant filling

    Some patients choose to have breast augmentation with implants at the same time, because breasts are usually smaller after the procedure, even though no glandular tissue has been removed from the breast.

    For this reason, two steps are performed in one, as when performing the traditional breast lift surgery, breast augmentation cannot be performed until six months after the lifting operation, due to the occurrence of slight sagging after the breast lift.

    Breast lift surgery cost

    The cost of procedure with Dr. Yasser Badi is subject to several different factors, as it is impossible to apply a single cost to all patients, due to the difference in each case from the other, and some perform other operations with Breast lift surgery such as breast lift, breast reduction, or enlarge it and so on, all of which of course affects the cost of the operation.
