IPERTROFIA MAMMARIA / GIGANTOMASTIA

DEFINITION: For mammary hyperplasia means an abnormal development of the gland and / or adipose tissue which can occur for reasons of familiarity, hormonal or weight gain.

ETIOLOGY: For women from puberty until the age postmenopausal. The causes are varied one can speak of familiarity when the characteristics of the breast are present in the other elements of the family of the maternal line, when it comes to hormonal causes stimulation of the gland occurs by metabolic imbalances, Finally we talk about increasing the weight when, due to excessive caloric intake, it has a fat accumulation in the breast. It is important to know that the breast is composed of 2 party: the gland and the fibro-fatty. These structures are represented at varying rates depending on the age and BMI (Body Mass Index: Body mass index or the amount of fat in the body), that is, the more it goes on in years and the higher the percentage of body fat as the fat component is greater than the glandular.

SYMPTOMS: the Patients with Large Breasts, depending on the size, can have many annoying symptoms: postural problems (back pain, difficulty in movement and gait, even up to breathing problems), inflammation under the furrows (intertrigine), sign of bra straps.

DIAGNOSIS : The diagnosis is clinical (Visit Specialist). In the event of mammary always perform prior imaging studies of the gland (ultrasound and / or mammography). Often visits are suggested physiatric advice for assessment of problems of the spine.

TREATMENT: The treatment is essentially surgical breast reduction through. The techniques that we employ are different depending on the morphological characteristics of the breast, but the incisions will be present at the level of the areola, vertical (dall'areola to the furrow) and in the furrow. All these scars will be well, however, celabili. The surgery is performed under general anesthesia and requires a one-night shelter. Our technique allows not to use drainage.

COMPLICATIONS: in experienced hands the complications of this surgery are very rare and consist of bleeding after surgery that will require a brief surgical revision in the hours following. In some cases there may be delays in the healing of wounds, but are to be ascribed to those cases in which the volumes are very important or where the patient has metabolic problems (diabetes) or is a heavy smoker.

SURGERY OF MASTOPALSTICA REDUCTIVE

Indications for surgery

The indication for surgery is when the breast volume causes discomfort in the patient or weight creates postural problems.

Results

The aim of the intervention is to reach the pre-set in the visit after evaluating the physical characteristics and desires of the patient. One of the elements of a woman's beauty is precisely determined by the harmony of the mammary region with that of the hips. Therefore, our goal will be to attain that proportion. Often large breasts, being heavy, determining a descent of the breast (ptosis) which is very well corrected during this intervention.

The intervention

It is performed under general anesthesia and takes about 90 minutes. We carry incisions that allow to reconstruct the proportions of breast roundness, volume and location.

Conclusions relating to the intervention

• Duration intervention: 90 my
• Type of anesthesia: General
• Dressings: 4
• Length of stay: 24 hours
• Resumption of normal activities: 8/10 gg. - Sporting activities 15-30
