As the nipple shifts downward and its diameter enlarges, the lower pole becomes excessively heavy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">Most women with macromastia are forced to wear very tight bras in order to support the breasts.

The main issue that usually arises is mechanical: due to the excessive breast size, the neck and chest area are significantly strained. In most cases, this leads to further problems such as neck pain and spondylolisthesis caused by the weight.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">Maintaining proper hygiene is also challenging with very large breasts, as the inframammary fold does not receive sufficient ventilation. As a result, sweating can cause the development of fungi and bacteria in the area, leading to dermatitis characterized by redness or pain.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-acdb884 e-con-full e-ecs-flex e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"acdb884\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ecs_container_type&quot;:&quot;flex&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-68827cc elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"68827cc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">Women with macromastia are also more prone to mastitis or chronic inflammations such as hidradenitis. Even their daily activities are significantly affected! Walking, running, and sleeping often become painful experiences.

Additionally, the nerves of the nipple are stretched due to the weight, resulting in reduced sensitivity. <\/p>\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">Beyond breastfeeding, breast reduction also addresses another major issue: difficulty in preventive screening for breast cancer. Palpation becomes almost impossible and mammography is less effective, as lesions are harder to detect due to shadowing from the dense and heavy breast tissue. <\/p>\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">For these reasons, a breast reduction procedure is sometimes essential, as it significantly improves women\u2019s quality of life. In other cases, the procedure is performed for aesthetic purposes, helping the breasts better match the body\u2019s proportions.

The degree of reduction must be tailored to each body type and effectively address all functional concerns.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">Regarding the scars that remain after breast reduction, there are two main surgical approaches: those with an <strong>inverted-T or anchor-shaped scar<\/strong> and those with a <strong>vertical scar<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">The choice of incision is based on the proper assessment of the breast and excess skin. In general, scars are not a major concern, as healing is typically excellent and, after a few months, most of the scar tissue becomes barely noticeable.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a46e80b e-con-full e-ecs-flex e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"a46e80b\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ecs_container_type&quot;:&quot;flex&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4568485 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"4568485\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Choosing the appropriate techniques after preoperative assessment<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d0c3826 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d0c3826\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">Beyond the external scars, breast reduction techniques can differ from one another. Some key distinctions are based on the method of removing glandular tissue and how the remaining breast volume is reshaped. The tissue removal may involve the central and lower pole of the breast or include a large portion of the lower-outer quadrant.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">The choice depends on the preoperative assessment and the desired outcome. Additionally, during breast reduction surgery, the volume of tissue removal can vary greatly\u2014ranging from 200\u2013300 grams up to more than one and a half kilograms per breast.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">The nipple and breast are repositioned in a way that ensures proper blood supply and nerve preservation throughout, while simultaneously achieving a natural, teardrop breast shape. During the procedure, special measurements are taken to ensure breast symmetry in terms of size, shape, and nipple position\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3f9c335 e-con-full e-ecs-flex e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"3f9c335\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ecs_container_type&quot;:&quot;flex&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a027ac9 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"a027ac9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/drpapaioannou.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/anna-keibalo-OTYDbYUVQrs-unsplash-scaled-e1753254330568-1024x1024.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-24304\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drpapaioannou.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/anna-keibalo-OTYDbYUVQrs-unsplash-scaled-e1753254330568-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/drpapaioannou.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/anna-keibalo-OTYDbYUVQrs-unsplash-scaled-e1753254330568-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/drpapaioannou.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/anna-keibalo-OTYDbYUVQrs-unsplash-scaled-e1753254330568-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/drpapaioannou.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/anna-keibalo-OTYDbYUVQrs-unsplash-scaled-e1753254330568-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/drpapaioannou.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/anna-keibalo-OTYDbYUVQrs-unsplash-scaled-e1753254330568-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/drpapaioannou.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/anna-keibalo-OTYDbYUVQrs-unsplash-scaled-e1753254330568-1320x1320.jpg 1320w, https:\/\/drpapaioannou.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/anna-keibalo-OTYDbYUVQrs-unsplash-scaled-e1753254330568-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/drpapaioannou.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/anna-keibalo-OTYDbYUVQrs-unsplash-scaled-e1753254330568-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/drpapaioannou.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/anna-keibalo-OTYDbYUVQrs-unsplash-scaled-e1753254330568.jpg 1706w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-631273f e-con-full e-ecs-flex e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"631273f\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ecs_container_type&quot;:&quot;flex&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-deed403 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"deed403\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Which procedures can be combined with breast reduction for enhanced results?<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-eacc5aa elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"eacc5aa\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">A great complement to breast reduction is <a href=\"https:\/\/drpapaioannou.gr\/epemvaseis-swmatos\/%ce%bb%ce%b9%cf%80%ce%bf%ce%b1%ce%bd%ce%b1%cf%81%cf%81%cf%8c%cf%86%ce%b7%cf%83%ce%b7\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">liposuction<\/a>, which can sculpt areas that are difficult to access, such as the sides of the breast towards the armpit.

general anesthesia and usually does not require hospitalization. The procedure lasts approximately 2\u20132.5 hours. After the surgery, a special elastic bandage or bra is applied. Drains are not necessary in most cases, and the sutures used are absorbable, so there is no need for removal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">Postoperative pain after breast reduction is very mild and is fully managed with common painkillers within 2\u20133 days.

The breast weight is noticeably reduced, which is reflected in daily activities. Physical exercise becomes easier, as does finding a suitable bra, while there is also significant improvement in posture and pain relief. About a year after breast reduction, almost all scars fade almost completely. The result will remain for many years, provided there are no major weight fluctuations. The breasts will show far fewer signs of sagging and laxity due to their reduced weight. As for breastfeeding, the technique we use fully preserves the ability to lactate. We can confirm this from the large number of cases that have undergone breast reduction in our clinic over the past 40 years. The same applies to nipple sensation, which remains intact.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-22c3fd5 e-ecs-flex e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"22c3fd5\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ecs_container_type&quot;:&quot;flex&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-188e33a it-faq-accordion elementor-widget elementor-widget-itr_faq_widget\" data-id=\"188e33a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"itr_faq_widget.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t        <style>\n            .elementor-widget-itr_faq_widget {\n                width: 100%;\n            }\n        <\/style>\n<div class=\"faqContainer\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/FAQPage\"><div class=\"faqContainer-title\">Frequently asked questions<\/div><div class=\"faqContainer-items\"><div class=\"faqContainer-items-item \" itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\"><div class=\"faqContainer-items-item-title\"><span class=\"plusSign\">+<\/span><span class=\"minusSign hidden\">-<\/span><h3 itemprop=\"name\">How visible are the scars and how long does it take for them to improve?<\/h3><\/div><div itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\"><div itemprop=\"text\" class=\"faqContainer-items-item-text\">Usually, breast reduction scars become less and less noticeable over time until, after 10-12 months, they become scars that are not bothersome at all from an aesthetic or practical point of view.

The weight of the breast is noticeably less and this is reflected in daily activities. Physical exercise is easier, finding a bra is easier and there is a significant improvement in posture and neck and spine pain.\r\n\r\nAfter about a year, almost completely all scars disappear. The result, as long as there are no large changes in weight, will persist for many years and the breast will show clearly smaller signs of fall and relaxation, because it has less weight.\r\n\r\nAs far as breastfeeding is concerned, the technique we use is such that it fully allows lactation. This can be confirmed by the plethora of incidents over the last 40 years. The same applies to the sensation of the nipple, which remains intact.
