Breast reduction<br />
Breast reduction surgery can significantly improve the<br />
quality of life for large-breasted women, affecting how they<br />
feel about themselves <strong>and</strong> alleviating associated physical<br />
concerns such as back <strong>and</strong> shoulder pain.<br />
‘The main aims during breast reduction surgery are to<br />
lift <strong>and</strong> reshape the breasts <strong>and</strong> nipples <strong>and</strong> to reduce<br />
the volume of the breasts,’ explains Dr Laniewski. ‘Breast<br />
reduction involves the removal of breast tissue <strong>and</strong> some<br />
skin, <strong>and</strong> then reshaping the breast <strong>and</strong> repositioning the<br />
nipple <strong>and</strong> areola to create a harmonious result.’<br />
‘We offer a refined vertical short scar technique that<br />
utilises a keyhole method,’ he says. ‘Such modern<br />
techniques offer patients more discreet scars as it involves<br />
a short incision that only stretches from the areola to the<br />
inframammary fold.’ <br />
Breast reduction surgery differs from some other types<br />
of breast surgery as it tends to be carried out to correct<br />
medical concerns such as backache, rather than purely<br />
for aesthetic reasons. Therefore it can be performed on<br />
women of any age once breast maturity has been reached.<br />
Breast reconstruction<br />
Breast reconstruction after mastectomy is a complex<br />
yet valuable procedure in restoring the breast <strong>and</strong><br />
creating curves. It is typically performed using implants,<br />
the patient’s own tissue (flap breast reconstruction) or<br />
a combination of the two. ‘I believe a DIEP flap breast<br />
reconstruction is the current gold st<strong>and</strong>ard <strong>and</strong> can<br />
offer the most natural-looking <strong>and</strong> feeling result as it<br />
uses the patient’s own excess skin <strong>and</strong> fat. Importantly,<br />
it preserves the rectus muscle (<strong>and</strong> core strength) <strong>and</strong><br />
also has the benefit of an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck),’<br />
Dr Laniewski explains.<br />
Regardless of the type of breast surgery carried out,<br />
there is no ‘one size fits all’ approach. ‘An experienced<br />
<strong>and</strong> skilled surgeon will tailor the procedure to each<br />
individual patient’s needs <strong>and</strong> anatomy, taking into account<br />
her body shape, existing breasts, circumstances <strong>and</strong><br />
desires,’ he says. ‘There needs to be a strong patientdoctor<br />
relationship built on trust, care <strong>and</strong> openness,<br />
so that together we can achieve the best outcomes<br />
possible.’ csbm<br />
