Taking a load off with Breast Reduction

February 13, 2016 by dina.elbarbary Leave a Comment

Some would say that the charming Drew Barrymore and Ariel Winter were blessed with a busty cleavage, but they probably saw it more as a curse. While many pursue bigger breasts, the amount of those looking to reduce their heavy loads is increasing by the year.

An emotional and physical struggle

Drew Barrymore’s relationship with her breasts was not a happy one. Not only did her breasts weigh her down physically, they also drew unwanted attention to her and warped her confidence until she opted for a Breast Reduction or mammoplasty – she explained it like so:

“There’s something very awkward about women and their breasts because men look at them so much. When they’re huge, you become very self-conscious. Your back hurts. You find that whatever you wear, you look heavy in. It’s uncomfortable.”

Drew Barrymore is the star of 50 First Dates and Confessions of a Dangerous Mind.

More recently, Modern Family star, Ariel Winter, made the same decision and was very open about her experience. When speaking to Glamour magazine, she revealed how by age 15 she struggled with F sized breasts and how they made her ‘hurt so bad that I couldn’t stand the pain’.  It also became apparent that her cleavage was focused on more than her acting, and for a girl who’s still underage, certain headlines and comments were definitely not appropriate.

“That’s pretty much all I was known for and that upset me. It made me feel really uncomfortable because as women in the industry, we are totally over sexualized and treated like objects. Every article that has to do with me on a red carpet always had to do with ‘Ariel Winter’s Crazy Cleavage!’ Or ‘Ariel Winter Shows Huge Boobs At An Event!’ That’s all people would recognize me by, not, “Oh, she does great work on Modern Family,” Ariel recalled.

Now, she’s happy as Larry and feels like a ‘new person’ who can function normally. Both she and Drew had a number of reasons to reduce the size of their breasts, but both are doing all the better for it.

Breast Reduction Surgery, or Mammoplasty, treatment in a nutshell

In 2015, Breast Reductions were up by 13% on the previous year, according to the British Association of Aesthetic and Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS),  and surgeons say that Ariel Winter’s openness has been a significant factor in raising awareness about the procedure and how it’s helped her.

The main aim is to reduce the weight, volume and size of your breasts by removing excess skin, fat and glandular tissue. This is most commonly done by making an incision around the areola, then a vertical onto the crease of the breast, where the final cut is made. Other methods include stopping at the breast crease or only lining the areola.

Once everything is removed, the position of your nipples and the size of your areola can be adjusted and you can opt for a Breast Uplift to ensure that the reduction in volume doesn’t leave you with sagging breasts.

During a Mastopexy (Uplift), any excess skin will be removed to give your breasts a full and toned appearance, while ensuring that they’re correctly positioned and pulled up.

Boob Job predictions for 2016: Big boobs go bust

January 12, 2016 by dina.elbarbary Leave a Comment

Breast Augmentation procedures have consistently topped the charts of Plastic Surgery procedures and it doesn’t seem to be a trend that’s likely to die out anytime soon.

That being said, smaller breasts are now the option of choice, with women no longer aiming to super-size their assets.

Smaller is better

A survey of plastic surgeons conducted by RealSelf – the online cosmetic treatment community platform – found that in 2015, 39% of them saw their patients asking for smaller implants, compared to patients in 2014. Figures from the British Association of Aesthetic and Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS) are in line with these findings, as they reported a 20% dip in the number of Breast Augmentations in 2014 – a dip that hadn’t previously been seen for 10 years.

Many practitioners put it down to celebrity influences as women often came in with cleavage examples taken from those in the limelight. Smaller-chested stars such as Rihanna, Gwen Stefani and Kate Hudson appear to be influencing the change in paradigm and for some, including us, it’s a welcome change.

The ‘natural’ look

A more natural look is in vogue at the moment, with women preferring only a little bit of a boost to what’s already there. We at The Private Clinic would like to encourage this trend, as we believe that the best results are reached by adapting the size of implants to a person’s height, frame and body type.

By choosing smaller implants, patients are not only opting for a more natural look, they’re also putting less strain on their bodies, so there are relative health benefits to going with such a choice, as well as aesthetic ones.

Overly large breasts can cause problems in the long run and could potentially affect patient’s health, which is why we prefer to discourage patients from such undertakings.

It’s not just about implants

Smaller breasts aren’t just a matter of implants either. RealSelf surgeons claim to have seen an increase in Breast Reduction requests – especially in teens. This may be once again related to celebrity influence, particularly after Ariel Winter, star of the Modern Family show, had her Breast Reduction extensively covered by the media.

In a similar vein, celebrities such as Chantelle Houghton and Katie Price have opted to reverse their Breast Enhancement procedures.

So, for 2016 we can expect smaller breasts all round, or at least, for women to make slightly more conservative choices when it comes to beauty enhancement.
