One more, one less: why

The main reason that provokes isfeeding the baby on one side. If you constantly feed the baby from one breast, then most of the milk begins to flow into it. As a result, one mammary gland fills with milk more than the other and, accordingly, stretches more. After such feeding, the breast tissue turns out to be too drooping, "sagging". The problem may seem insignificant in the case when there is a small and unnoticeable deformation of the shape of one of the glands. But when their volume differs by 1-2 sizes, this becomes a serious problem for women.

Solution by surgical method

Unfortunately, this situation requiresrealistic approach. You shouldn’t hope that you can change your breasts that differ in size with exercise or cosmetic care. The only real way out of this situation today is surgery. It is natural that surgery scares many women, because they don’t quite understand what to expect from it. How exactly does surgical correction of the mammary glands occur? Our expert Eric Azizyan explains: “The decision on how exactly the correction will occur and what methods will be used during the operation is made strictly individually, depending on the patient’s problem. If a woman had large breasts before feeding, there is a high probability that they will sag a lot after lactation. In such cases, as a rule, a lift is performed. If after prolonged breastfeeding a woman shows a significant decrease in the total volume of glandular tissue, then the lift can be combined with endoprosthetics, which will increase the size. At the same time, the price of the operation depends on what correction methods are chosen by the doctor and the patient. On average, it ranges from 160 to 300 thousand rubles (depending on the quality of the implants and the qualifications of the chosen doctor, the amount may be higher).”Photo: Getty Images

What to be afraid of

Women's fear of surgery is understandable, butif you choose the right clinic and follow all the doctor's recommendations in the postoperative period, such surgical intervention does not pose a danger to life. It is necessary to immediately take into account the fact that the correction will have to be abandoned if the woman has:

  • oncological diseases;
  • autoimmune pathology;
  • exacerbation of chronic diseases;
  • severe current somatic diseases.

Many are rightly concerned about the question: Is it possible to perform an operation to correct the shape and size of the mammary glands with mastopathy? Here is what the expert thinks about this: "The most common type of mastopathy (fibrocystic) is not an unambiguous reason for refusing to conduct an operation. But, in any case, before contacting a plastic surgeon, a woman will need a mammal consultation. "

When to perform breast correction

An ideal option for correctionthe period after 6 months from the end of lactation is considered. However, if a woman is planning another pregnancy and further breastfeeding in the near future, it is better to postpone the operation and perform it after the next birth. Also interesting:
