Investigation of the relationship between the amounts of tissue removed in breast reduction operations and the change in symptoms

Abstract

Aim: Breast reduction operations are frequently performed operations with satisfactory both aesthetic and functional results. In this article, we presented our study in which we investigated the effect of the amount of tissue resected during the breast reduction operation on the symptoms. Materials and Methods: 57 patients were included in the study. The groups were divided into 3 groups according to the weight of the tissue resected from both breasts. Group 1: 1000 grams of tissue and less, group 2: 1000-2000 grams of tissue, group 3: The group in which 2000 grams and more tissue is resected. Patients' ages, body mass indexes (BMI), total amount of tissue removed from the bilateral breasts were noted. Before and after the operation, neck/back/shoulder pain, redness and itching in the breast area, bra marks and symptoms of limitation of movement in daily life of the patients were evaluated and compared. The correlation between BMI and the amount of tissue removed was evaluated. Results: While there was a significant difference between the groups in terms of the amount of tissue removed and BMI, there was no significant difference in age. Back/shoulder pain in group 2-3, neck pain, redness-itch in group 3, bra scar and limitation of movement changed significantly in all groups. The preoperative shoulder pain, bra mark and limitation of motion score in group 3 and the postoperative bra mark score in group 3 were found to be significantly higher than other groups. When the correlation between the amount of tissue removed and BMI was evaluated, a significant positive correlation was found in group 3 in terms of two values. Conclusion: Symptomatic improvement after breast reduction surgery is not significantly different among women with different breast sizes.
