Breast hypertrophy (large droopy breasts) can affect quality of your life. It prevents you from participating in activities, make you feel self-conscious due to the size, and even prevent you from wearing the kind of clothes you prefer. In many cases, large breasts are a cause of low self-esteem, rashes, breathing problems, and even skeletal deformities.
Women face problems because large breasts may be out of proportion to the rest of their body. An initial consultation with Dr. Varkarakis will help you to know how the problem can be solved and if the surgery is the right choice for you.
Women who feel their physical activities have been limited or are in constant pain due to the size of their breasts can go for this surgery. The surgery will show significant improvement in quality of life and relief from following conditions:
Dr. Varkarakis prefers to use technique involving short-scar (lollipop incision), as it reduces visible scars and minimized recovery time. An incision similar to the shape of lollipop is made with a ring around the nipple and a line that extends down the underside of the breast. This reduces size of breast and provides you with a natural and more youthful shape.
Feeling and function of the nipple is restored. The size of the areola may also be reduced to match the size of reduced breasts. Glandular tissue is removed and skin is tightened to reduce size of breasts and match it with the rest of your body.
The results are visible almost immediately. However, bruising and swelling may persist for 2 weeks after the surgery. It may take a couple of months before the breasts finally settle into their shape.
Dr. Varkarakis will ensure a comfortable recovery. Most patients can resume daily activity and return to work within a week. Heavy activities can be resumed after 3 weeks.
