Breast Reduction

Standards of feminine beauty depend on breast shape and proportion, as having excessively large breasts is not considered attractive. Dr. Tarek Zahra achieves breast beauty and proportion through breast reduction surgery, which is specifically designed to meet each woman's needs.

Breast reduction surgery aims to achieve a smaller breast size and shape by removing accumulated fat and excess tissue, as well as modifying the skin to create smaller, more proportionate breasts. Through breast reduction surgery, Dr. Tarek Zahra offers the following:

• Reducing the size and weight of heavy and large breasts, which cause physical pain.

• Achieving a more feminine breast contour, in harmony with the body’s shape and overall appearance.

• This surgery can be combined with a breast lift to achieve a more feminine appearance.

• Allowing the wearing of appropriate clothes for an attractive, feminine look.

• Boosting self-confidence when achieving breast proportions that complement the body’s overall look.

Some women face numerous problems due to large breasts that are out of proportion with their overall appearance and figure. This can cause a variety of physical symptoms and daily challenges, such as:

• Chronic pain in the upper body, such as the neck, back, and shoulders, in addition to hand numbness, headaches, and posture changes.

• Deep lines in the shoulders due to bras that cannot support the weight of the breasts.

• Irritation, redness, and severe itching, due to friction between the large breasts.

• Difficulty choosing clothes that fit large breasts and achieve a suitable appearance for the body.

• Inability to exercise or engage in physical activities due to pain and discomfort caused by the heaviness and size of the breasts, in addition to the uncomfortable appearance during movement.

• Difficulty breathing while sleeping or lying down, as the heaviness of the breasts and their pressure on the chest area cause shortness of breath and discomfort.

Breast reduction surgery with Dr. Tarek Zahra helps alleviate the physical pain associated with large breasts, while also achieving an attractive feminine appearance and restoring self-confidence.

The secret to the success of cosmetic surgery lies in the surgeon's precision and aesthetic sense, which is capable of transforming an uncomfortable or disturbing appearance into a stunning work of art. Dr. Tarek Zahra achieves an ideal, feminine breast appearance by adapting the surgical techniques to suit each woman's individual needs and personal and aesthetic goals, as follows:

• Breast reduction surgery is performed under general anesthesia and usually takes about three hours.

• The surgical incision is performed skillfully and precisely, depending on the size of the breast and the extent of the desired modification. An incision is made around the areola, then connected to another incision extending vertically to the breast crease. In some other cases, the incision extends along the crease.

• After the surgical incision is made, excess breast tissue and fat are removed, and the skin is adjusted to match the new breast size. Liposuction may be performed using advanced liposuction techniques to add definition to the breast contours and remove an appropriate amount of fat if needed.

• It is essential for the surgeon to have extensive experience in breast reduction surgery to avoid any asymmetrical or disproportionate breasts with each other or with the overall body appearance. Dr. Tarek Zahra ensures precise breast symmetry by changing the patient’s position during surgery, which contributes to more precise and professional results.

• The position of the areola and nipple may also be adjusted, if necessary, to fit the new breast shape and size. Finally, the surgical incision is closed, and small drainage tubes are placed to drain excess fluids from the breasts.

The drainage tube is removed within a few days of surgery, and you can usually return to work within one to two weeks of your breast reduction surgery. Supportive bras should be worn during your recovery period to minimize bleeding and swelling. You can return to most daily activities after three to four weeks; however, it's recommended to avoid strenuous physical activity for the first few weeks after surgery.

Successful breast reduction surgery delivers different results for each woman, as not everyone's final breast and body appearance is the same, which is what distinguishes a skilled plastic surgeon. Breast reduction surgery with Dr. Tarek Zahra achieves effective and lasting results, such as reduced back and shoulder pain, improved posture, and reduced itching and inflammation of the breasts. Additionally, this surgery creates a perfectly contoured and attractive breast appearance and achieves a more refined overall body image. It also enables women to exercise freely without discomfort, while also being able to choose clothing that suits their personal preferences and complements their overall body shape. Therefore, Dr. Tarek Zahra provides not only beautiful and symmetrical breasts but also offers a unique experience that positively impacts self-confidence.

Although breast reduction surgery offers many benefits that can only be achieved through this surgical intervention, like any procedure, it may be accompanied by some drawbacks and risks, such as:

• Swelling, bruising, and numbness in the areola and nipple area may occur, which are normal and disappear within a short time after surgery.

• Breast reduction surgery can cause problems during breastfeeding, but Dr. Tarek Zahra uses advanced techniques to preserve important milk-producing ducts and tissues, allowing you to maintain your ability to breastfeed after surgery.

• Breast asymmetry is a possible concern that can cause dissatisfaction. However, thanks to Dr. Tarek Zahra's expertise and experience, the modified breasts appear perfectly symmetrical, contributing to women's satisfaction with the smaller breasts in an attractive, feminine appearance.

Breast reduction surgery with Dr. Tarek Zahra helps relieve the weight and burden on women's chests, whether psychological or physical. This surgery provides relief from chronic pain that can make daily life difficult. So, don't hesitate to get your consultation now.
