Breast reduction is aimed at women with very large breasts, facing appearance problems, but also showing pathological symptoms due to the size and weight of the breasts. Women with very large breasts, teenagers especially, feel uncomfortable because of the attention that their large breasts attract.<\/p>

They are also restrained in the way they dress, but also when it comes to sports activities such as swimming and such. Women of all ages experience problems with their neck or spine due to the weight of their breasts. The deep impressions left by the bra on the shoulders are typical, as well as the frequent irritations of the skin in the inframammary folds.<\/p>

Breast reduction provides the solution to these problems. The volume of the breast is reduced, along with the amount of fat within the breast, excess skin is removed, and the nipple is placed higher, in its new position. The size of the nipple is also reduced, as the purpose of the operation is to give the woman smaller breasts, with a better shape, that is in harmony with the rest of her body.<\/p>

There are various techniques for the achievement of this goal, in order to use the technique that best serves your needs and goals.
In some cases, the surgical incisions are in the shape of an anchor, in other cases, they are restricted around the nipple and straight below it, and in other cases, they go around the nipple and diagonally towards the armpit. In most women, one breast differs from the other to a small extent, and if that anisomastia exists, it will be corrected during the operation. The youngest age for breast reduction is 18 years.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Your first visit to the plastic surgeon is very important.<\/p>

After giving a detailed medical history, you will have the opportunity to talk to the plastic surgeon and disclose your problem and requirements. After examining and measuring your breast, the surgeon will discuss which is the best way to reduce your breasts so that they match the rest of your body with you, considering elements such as the quality of your skin, your age, etc.<\/p>

It is important that you express your desire about how you imagine the ideal size and shape for your breasts, as opinions on such matters are almost always subjective.<\/p>

Dr. Gaitanis<\/a> will show you, on your chest, where the new position of the nipple will be and he will describe where the surgical incisions will be made.<\/p>

For the breast reduction operation, general anesthesia is used and, in most cases, a one-night hospital stay is required.<\/p>

You must avoid smoking and alcohol consumption for one week before surgery, as well as taking certain medications, such as aspirin and multivitamins for two weeks before surgery. If you smoke, it is especially important to stop or drastically reduce smoking for a week or two before surgery, to speed up the healing process and reduce the chances of complications.<\/p>

Chances of complications exist in any surgery, but they are reduced in the hands of a special plastic surgeon, experienced in this particular procedure. The surgeries are performed in fully equipped private hospitals in Athens and Dr. Gaitanis’ team of anesthesiologists uses the most modern and safe methods of anesthesia.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
