Breast Reduction In Thailand
Breast reduction, also known as reduction mammaplasty, is a type of plastic surgery treatment performed on a woman who is facing health difficulties and/or significant self-consciousness as a result of her abnormally large, heavy breasts. Large breasts can cause back and neck pain due to excess weight, skin irritation, bra strap indentations, poor posture, and interfere with routine everyday activities like exercising. The operation eliminates fat, glandular tissue, and skin from the breasts, leaving them smaller, lighter, and firmer. It can also lessen the size of the areola, which is the darker skin around the nipple. This can reduce the health risks connected with huge breasts while also increasing a woman’s confidence in her looks.
The scars wrap around the areola, running straight down as a vertical line to the crease under the breasts, and may extend horizontally if a substantial reduction is expected. These incisions are used to remove superfluous skin and tissue and relocate the nipple areolar complex higher.
Operation Time: Typically takes 2-3 hours.
Breast reduction surgery is conducted with general anesthesia.
Hospital/clinic Stay: 1–2 nights.
Duration of stay in Thailand: 1-2 weeks
Risks and complications:
Scar and Scarring.
After surgery, patients should avoid intense upper body exercise and wear a sports bra for a few weeks.
Preparation Before Surgery:
- During consultation, a medical history evaluation (including allergies, major medical conditions, and prescriptions) will be conducted, along with a physical examination and laboratory tests.
- Avoid smoking for 3-4 weeks before surgery to improve circulation and recovery.
- Stop drinking alcohol a week before surgery and during recovery.
To avoid complications before surgery, avoid using medications such as hormones, anticoagulants, anabolic steroids, and supplements for at least 4-6 weeks. Additionally, avoid taking aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs, and herbal supplements, which might cause bleeding.
