Breast reduction

There are many factors that determine the size of the breast. The most important one is hormonal. This hormonal activity starts before puberty and is dynamically changed during the menstrual cycle and throughout the time leading up to menopause.

The most important part of the procedure for breast reduction is the partial removal of the gland and excess fatty tissue. In all cases, together with reduction, it is necessary to perform a mastopexy which is the uplifting of the breasts.

For many women, drooping breasts can be cosmetically unattractive. This condition is caused by laxity of the skin of the breast, hypoplasia of the tissue after a period of lactation following childbirth, excessive weight loss, atrophy of the breast due to old age and in most cases, by a combination of all these conditions.
