Breast hypertrophy justifies by the complications and discomfort that it leads to surgical management of breast size reduction.

This condition is responsible for functional discomfort, especially during sporting activity or even when dressing, but also significant back pain. The surgical cure of this condition by your cosmetic surgeon in Paris 16 through breast reduction allows you to regain a quality of life. Breast enlargement is surgery that will decrease the size of the mammary gland. This breast surgery is most often covered by social security. The reduction in size of the mammary gland results in scars that will gradually fade over the months and years. However, some pathological scarring such as hypertrophic, enlarged or keloid scars may occur.

The duration of hospitalization for a breast reduction varies from 24 to 48 hours in general, it is therefore necessary to organize accordingly, especially for the care of children if necessary. However, in some cases a longer hospital stay may be necessary. Ambulatory care can be considered for "small" hypertrophies. For more information on this subject, Doctor Fabrice Poirier is at your disposal in Paris 16 and Paris 11.

Following breast reduction, the glandular resection pieces taken from the breasts are in fact sent to the anatomo-pathology laboratory which will ensure the detection of any disease which may thus be discovered by chance. It should be noted that statistically removing the mammary gland following cosmetic surgery as part of the treatment of breast enlargement decreases the risk of breast cancer by 40%.

It is important to understand that at constant weight, breast enlargement does not recur. That is to say that in the event of weight gain, the mammary glands can again increase in size, which means that it is possible to operate a second time on the same patient for the same reasons, most often at 15 or 20 years apart.
