Plastic surgeon Dmitry Saratovtsev told why an increasing number of women want to reduce their breasts. This is reported by Moskovsky Komsomolets.
Talking about a new trend, the specialist noted that often a request for reduction comes from patients with lush breasts, who, after pregnancy or breastfeeding, undergo ptosis – prolapse of the mammary glands. In this case, with the help of the operation, women are trying not only to reduce the size, but also to restore the shape, the surgeon explained.
Patients who have previously installed too large silicone implants, which provoke back pain and interfere with full-fledged sports, also apply to reduce their breasts. In addition, women with gigantomastia, a congenital pathology in which the mammary glands can be larger than the sixth size, apply for the help of a plastic surgeon.
According to Saratovtsev, there are other reasons why patients decide for a reduction mammoplasty. These include skin irritation and increased sweating.
