In the case of a breast reduction the goal is not
only to reduce the size of the breasts but also to achieve a beautiful,
well-formed look to the shape of the breasts. As in a breast lifting, a minimal
scar technique (LINK Breast Lifting) such as the Lejour technique can be used.
Only in the case of very large and extremely saggy breasts is a reduction
performed using the inverted T- technique, which is then made necessary by the
larger amount of excess tissue.
The cost of this operation is seldom paid
by your health insurance because it is classified as a cosmetic operation.
However, when the size and weight of large breasts are the cause of physical
health problems or damage, then the operation is not a cosmetic procedure but a
functional medical necessity instead.
The advice of a surgeon with
training and experience in this field can help you determine your status and
inform you of the possibilities of a breast reduction including "before and
after" pictures of breast reductions that have been performed at our
practice.
