Introduction
Breast Reduction in Tehran
Breast reduction surgery is a procedure designed to reduce the size of the breasts, alleviate discomfort, and improve overall body proportion. Dr. Hamed Bateni, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Tehran, offers expert breast reduction surgeries tailored to your needs. Whether you are experiencing physical discomfort due to large breasts or seeking a more balanced figure, Dr. Bateni ensures each procedure is performed with precision and care.
What is Breast Reduction?
Breast reduction, also known as reduction mammaplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes excess breast tissue and skin to achieve a breast size in proportion to the body. This procedure can alleviate discomfort such as back, neck, and shoulder pain, skin irritation, and posture problems caused by overly large breasts. It also helps reshape the breast to improve its overall appearance.
Who is a Good Candidate?
Good candidates for breast reduction surgery are individuals who:
- Experience physical discomfort due to large breast size.
- Have breasts that limit physical activity.
- Suffer from skin irritation beneath the breast crease.
- Have self-esteem issues related to breast size.
- Are non-smokers and in good overall health.
During the consultation, Dr. Bateni will review your medical history and discuss your goals to determine if breast reduction is right for you.
The Breast Reduction Procedure
The breast reduction procedure involves several steps:
-
Consultation:
During the consultation, Dr. Bateni will examine your breasts, discuss your medical history, and talk about your desired size and shape. He will also explain the risks and complications associated with the surgery.
-
Anesthesia:
General anesthesia is administered to ensure your comfort during the procedure.
-
Incision:
Dr. Bateni will make incisions around the nipples and areolas and possibly down to the breast crease. The pattern of incisions depends on the size and shape of your breasts and the amount of tissue to be removed.
-
Removal of Tissue and Skin:
Excess breast tissue and skin are removed to reduce the size of the breasts. The nipples and areolas may also be repositioned to achieve a natural look.
-
Reshaping the Breast:
The remaining breast tissue is reshaped to create a more proportionate and aesthetically pleasing breast contour.
-
Closing the Incisions:
The incisions are closed with sutures, and surgical dressings are applied to support the breasts as they heal.
Recovery and Aftercare
Recovery from breast reduction surgery varies, but here are some general guidelines:
- First Few Days: You may experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed medications. It’s important to avoid heavy lifting and strenuous activities.
- First Few Weeks: Gradually, the swelling will decrease, and you will start to see the surgery results. Dr. Bateni will provide detailed aftercare instructions, including how to care for your incisions and when to resume normal activities.
- Long-Term Care: Scars will fade over time, but following Dr. Bateni’s advice on skincare and sun protection is important to ensure optimal healing.
Risks and Complications
As with any surgical procedure, breast reduction carries certain risks and complications. These may include:
- Scarring: While scars from the incisions will fade over time, they will never completely disappear.
- Infection: Proper care and hygiene can reduce the risk of infection.
- Changes in Nipple Sensation: Some patients may experience changes in nipple and areola sensation, which can be temporary or permanent.
- Breastfeeding Issues: Breastfeeding may be affected after breast reduction surgery. Discuss your future breastfeeding plans with Dr. Bateni during the consultation.
- Blood Clots: Staying active and following post-surgery instructions can help prevent blood clots.
Dr. Bateni will discuss these risks with you and take every precaution to minimize them.
