“…In almost all studies, patients reported improvements in the vast majority of premorbid symptoms, a finding consistent with previous reviews of this subject (98). Other studies have also found that breast reduction had positive effects on depression and sexual function (99), as well as led to a significant improvement in lung function tests with a positive correlation between amount of breast tissue resected and improvement in expiratory capacity (100).…”

Patient satisfaction and outcomes following reduction mammoplasty is important to measure, being a being a reconstructive procedure with physical and cosmetic benefits. This study aimed to evaluate patient satisfaction and the various questionnaires that have been devised for this measurement. A systematic search of literature was performed in PubMed, Cochrane Library, Medline and Scopus databases from 1966 to July 2018 according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. After application of pre-determined inclusion criteria by two authors, 95 articles were included. Data was extracted from included studies relating to demographics, surgical technique, questionnaires used and physical, psychological and aesthetic outcomes. Of the 95 studies included (9,716 patients), 58 studies (5,867 patients) reported on overall satisfaction with a mean rate of 90.26%. Researchers' own nonvalidated questionnaire was most commonly used in 52.6% of studies. Validated questionnaires used were most commonly the SF-36 (25.3%), Rosenberg self-esteem scale (RSES) (9.5%) and BREAST-Q (8.4%). All showed improvement in physical and mental health. Our findings suggest that women who have undergone reduction mammoplasty for breast hypertrophy report postoperative satisfaction and improvement in quality of life. Of the validated questionnaires used, a combination of those assessing both mental, physical and psychosocial health as well as breast-specific surveys were most commonly used and may provide an accurate assessment of patient outcomes.

“…Chest wall movement and therefore compliance may be restricted with increased weight on chest wall as in case of heavy weight breast. Thus, decreasing breast weight, would hypothetically improve ventilation and compliance of chest wall [5]. In the study of Cunha et al, restrictive effects of heavy breasts on the compliance of chest wall was discussed.…”

“…Some insurance companies still limit and refuse payment for reduction mammaplasty, as it is still categorized as an aesthetic procedure. It is important economically to provide evidence of breast reduction surgery benefits to help decrease these limitations and support women in need of this procedure [5].…”

Background: Breast hypertrophy is seen in clinical practice to have various physical symptoms and signs on patients. These symptoms vary in severity according to breast weight. Symptoms may include back and neck pain, postural changes, skin affection (intertrigo) and psychological affection in form of depression, anxiety and low self-esteem.Insufficient and contradictory data from previous studies described the effects on chest wall dynamics, which guided this study to furtherly investigate these changes and prove the hypothesis of the relation between the resected breast weight and the improved effect on lung functions. The aim of this study is to evaluate and document this relation and hypothesis by performing pulmonary function tests pre and post operatively.Methodology and Results: Twenty-five adult female patients presenting with symptomatic macromastia were included in the study. Paired t-test showed significant change in some spirometric parameters (FVC, FVC%, B/P, FEV1, FEV1, %B/P) after reduction mammoplasty. Spearman correlation coefficient discovered a significant positive correlation between the total weight of breast tissue resected and pulmonary functions, and a non-significant correlation between the age, BMI and the pulmonary functions. Conclusion:In conclusion, this study has documented the restrictive effects on chest wall compliance caused by macromastia. Statistically significant improvement in preand post-operative pulmonary functions was documented. The correlation between the resected breast weight and pulmonary function tests improvement, proved to be linear.

Затруднение дыхания является еще одним важным симптомом макромастии у здоровых женщин, хотя оно встречается реже, чем другие симптомы [13]. Макромастия также может являться фактором риска развития мастопатии [7].…”

The blood supply to the nipple-areola complex of hypertrophied mammary glands is variable and unpredictable in each patient who is planned to undergo reduction mammoplasty. The review provides historical aspects and modern views on reduction mammoplasty and the study of blood supply to hypertrophied mammary glands. The emphasis is also placed on the importance of preoperative diagnostics of the peculiarities of blood supply to the nipple-areola complex.
