Or just by eating fruits and vegetables?

Now let us see what are the preparations for a Reduction Mammoplasty?
Beforehand Preparation
The first step is finding a highly qualified and experienced surgeon for you. It may seem easy but it is not that simple. A good surgeon directly means a 100% successful surgery and desired results. Therefore, you need to analyze the work of various surgeons and their past surgical results. Once you have selected your surgeon, he will examine your medical history and let you know if there are any complications.
The next important thing is discussing your expectations from the surgery. No element on this earth can do magic or wonders on your body; all of these can only improve it to a certain extent. So, it is important that you tell all your expectations and hear about the real results from your surgeon. A good surgeon will always tell you about the risks, scarring, and any loss accompanying the procedure.
Medically you may be asked to get pictures clicked of your breasts before and after the surgery. You might undergo certain medical tests like a baseline mammogram. You will also be asked to avoid aspirin, smoking, and other things.
Procedure
Before the procedure starts, the patient is given local/general anesthesia. The surgery is carried in 4 simple steps, that are mentioned below -
Symmetry can be achieved during the surgery but there will surely be some changes. After the surgery, the following things are done -
Like all other surgical procedures, reduction mammoplasty also possesses some risks. Although the risks are reduced if you are in the hands of a good doctor, still they should be considered.
Some common risks are bleeding, swelling, infection, and adverse reaction to anesthesia. Apart from these, the major risks that happen in rare cases include -
What to expect after surgery?
For the first few days or weeks, the skin near your breasts will feel very sensitive and tender. The area might get swollen too with little bruising. To protect the area from further wear and tear, good surgeons often recommend an elastic compression bra.
Recovery Period
Recovery after surgeries takes sufficient time but it also depends on how you are taking care of yourself. At least for 3 - 4 weeks, you cannot expose yourself to any kind of physical work that requires strength. Let your breasts heal naturally; avoid any kind of physical strain/stress around that area.
Limit yourself to bed; take as much rest as you can. Rest is the most effective way and the best natural healer for any kind of problem. Also, do not get involved in smoking or drinking alcohol for few weeks for better recovery.
Take regular follow-ups from your surgeon. Check if any kind of infection or swelling is there which is not getting healed by the prescribed medicines. If pain persists, consult your surgeon immediately. Also, for some weeks, your doctor may recommend you only comfortable clothing and no underwire bras.
Scarring
Since the surgery involves incisions and stitches, it is obvious that scarring will be there. The scars will fade away with time but they will not get completely disappeared.
Results – The Most Awaited Moment
Once your breast reduction surgery is successfully done, it will give you a new look and a new boosted physical personality. You will see the change for yourself. It is recommended that do not keep unrealistic expectations and expect natural results.
Fat reduction around your breasts will help in diminishing physical problems like back pain, neck pain, and shoulder pain. Also, your ability to participate in physical activities will be enhanced after complete recovery.
So, get ready for a positive self-image and good appearance after your breast reduction surgery. Book your appointment with the best surgeon at BreastReduction.in!
