Barátta hennar er okkar verkefni

Brjóstastækkun, einnig þekkt sem minnkun brjóstakrabbameins, er skurðaðgerð þar sem umfram brjóstvefur, fita og húð eru fjarlægð til að búa til minni, léttari og hlutfallslegri brjóst. Í samhengi við brjóstendurgerð er hún oft framkvæmd á gagnstæða brjóstinu (óendurgerða) til að ná samhverfu við endurgerðu hliðina.

Beyond aesthetic balance, this procedure offers significant functional benefits. Women with large, heavy breasts may experience physical discomfort, including chronic back and neck pain, shoulder grooving from bra straps, posture problems, and difficulty with physical activity. 

At Apollo Athenaa Women’s Cancer Centre, breast reduction is planned to restore balance, alleviate discomfort, and improve overall quality of life.

How the Procedure is Performed

Breast reduction surgery is performed under general anaesthesia. The procedure typically includes:

• Removal of excess glandular tissue, fat, and skin to reduce breast volume
• Reshaping and lifting of the remaining tissue to create a more youthful and symmetrical contour
• Repositioning of the nipple–areola complex, if necessary, to match the new breast shape and height

Incisions are most commonly made around the areola and vertically down to the breast crease. Every effort is made to place incisions in discreet locations and minimise visible scarring.

Recovery

• Sjúkrahúsdvöl: Most patients are discharged within 24 hours
• Pain and Healing: Swelling, bruising, and soreness are expected during the first week. These are managed with prescribed medications
• Frárennsli: Temporary drains may be placed to prevent fluid accumulation; they are usually removed within a few days
• Til baka í starfsemi: Léttari iðju og skrifborðsvinna er oft hægt að hefjast aftur á 1–2 vikum, en fullur bati og endurkoma hreyfingar getur tekið 4–6 vikur.
• Eftirfylgni: Includes wound monitoring, scar care, and gradual reintroduction of movement and activity

Helstu kostir

• Relief from Physical Symptoms: Brjóstastækkun dregur úr álagi á háls, bak og axlir, bætir líkamsstöðu, dregur úr húðertingu og auðveldar daglegar hreyfingar.
• Bætt samhverfa: Þegar minnkun er framkvæmd á hinu brjóstinu í tengslum við endurgerð, hjálpar hún til við að ná náttúrulegra og jafnvægara útliti.
• Enhanced Mobility and Activity Levels: Minni og léttari brjóst gera það auðveldara að stunda hreyfingu, klæðast íþróttafötum og taka þátt í daglegum störfum án álags eða sjálfsmeðvitundar.
• High Satisfaction with Lasting Results: Sjúklingar greina frá verulegum framförum í lífsgæðum, sjálfstrausti og líkamsímynd.
• Well-Planned Scars: Incisions are designed to fade over time and are supported with scar management guidance throughout recovery.

Breast reduction is both a functional and aesthetic solution. At Apollo Athenaa, every reduction procedure is tailored to your anatomy, lifestyle, and goals. The result is a body that feels lighter, more balanced, and more like you — so you can move through life with greater comfort and confidence.
