Genetic inheritance; In this case, genetics plays an important role. If relatives in your family have large breasts, your breasts are more likely to develop than usual.
Excess weight. Often, breast size directly depends on the overall proportions of the patient’s body.
Pregnancy and lactation. Breastfeeding is another factor that has a significant impact on the change in the shape and volume of the breast. Lactation directly stimulates the growth of the mammary glands. Generally, they cannot return to their previous volumes after breastfeeding is over. Or even if it works, they may encounter the problem of sagging.

With aesthetic surgery, the breast is reduced and the skin is stretched and shaped accordingly.

How is breast reduction surgery done?

Breast reduction surgery is performed under general anesthesia. Since the mammary gland is mainly composed of fat and glandular tissue, the excess tissue during the operation is brought to the desired size equally from both breasts. In the presence of asymmetry, the operation is usually performed on one breast, equal to the one with the best shape of the breast. As a result of breast reduction surgery, not only the breast tissue but also the skin is reduced and a natural breast lift is achieved. Since the female breast is a very sensitive area and requires special techniques, this operation should only be performed by experienced plastic surgeons. In any case, you need to approach it carefully so that there are no complications and the breast remains tender. As the excess volume in the breast is removed, the skin tightens and the size of the areola changes with its position. Thus, when the breast tissue shrinks, breast lift is also provided. If all necessary corrections are not made during the operation, this can lead to an unsatisfactory result.

Removal of excess skin, glandular layer and resection of adipose tissue;
Areola and nipple transfer;
The formation of an anatomically correct and aesthetically beautiful breast shape.
