Treatment:
• Non-operative methods have little proven benefit, as breast enlargement
results from complex interplay between genetic factors and hormonal
influences.
• The main-stay is Breast Reduction Surgery (B.R.S.). A number of different
techniques exist , but all aim to eventually reduce the breast weight and
volume to match the patient's desires, while keeping scarring to a minimum.
The nipple 's position is changed to a more central and natural appearing
one, while the areola diameter is simultaneously reduced. This ultimately
results in smaller and younger-looking breasts, ridding the patient of all
the issues associated with big breasts. There is sufficient breast tissue to
allow breastfeeding in the future, for those planning to conceive later.
• This is a very safe procedure, and when performed well, will result in a
pleasing appearance, while ridding the patient of the problem of heavy
breasts.
