Breast reduction is one of the most popular surgeries, thanks to which owners of excessively large mammary glands get aesthetic and neat breasts. The number of women who sign up for breast reduction surgery is growing every year, and this is not surprising. Large breasts cause a lot of trouble, ranging from diaper rash, itching, selection of beautiful lingerie and ending with problems with the spine. As a result, internal organs suffer, gait changes, back pain and frequent migraines appear. There can be several reasons for excessive breast growth:
Many women suffer from the fact that breast growth does not stop after the age of 18 due to changes in hormonal levels;
Pregnancy is a physiological condition that provokes the growth of the mammary glands and increases breast size by 1-2 sizes;
Breastfeeding after childbirth also has an effect on breast augmentation.

Popular queries
How long do breast implants last on average?
The standard lifespan of implants can vary from person to person and usually reaches 10-20 years after breast augmentation. Silicone implants need to be replaced for various reasons. In some cases, this is done at the request of the patient, in some cases, the shape of the implant deteriorates due to pregnancy or changes in body weight.
How long should it take after mammoplasty to talk about the final result? How long will it last?
The final result can be assessed after about six months. The duration of the effect depends on the type of surgery, as well as on compliance with the doctor's recommendations during the rehabilitation process regarding exercise regimes, wearing compression garments, and weight control.
What is the age limit for a breast lift?
Patients who have crossed the threshold of 65 years of age are no more at risk of complications during breast surgery than younger patients. But at the same time, problems with blood coagulation can still be observed more often. It is not the age but the state of the body that is of primary importance, and this determines, in particular, the safety of anaesthesia.
How long after a breast lift can I go in for sports?
The speed of recovery after surgery depends on many factors. The doctor will advise you on the optimal time to start playing sports, as the speed of rehabilitation will vary from patient to patient. The main rule is to refrain from training and exertion until the stitch has healed. The same applies to sun exposure.
