Small breasts

Mammary hypotrophy is characterized by an underdeveloped mammary gland, resulting in a smaller-than-average breast size. Occasionally, the breasts may have no volume at all. However, this poses no threat to health or physical functionality. Nevertheless, small breasts can be the cause of complexes, which have a strong impact on self-confidence and mental health. The psychological repercussions can be significant, which is why many women decide to undergo cosmetic surgery to feel better about their bodies and regain their self-confidence.

Breast hypotrophy can have several causes. It is often genetic in origin, and poor breast development during puberty may be due to hereditary predisposition. Small breasts can also have a hormonal origin, and disturbances in a woman’s life (puberty, pregnancy, menopause, etc.) can affect breast size.Diet is also an important factor, since poor nutrition during the growth period can have negative effects on breast development. Finally, in addition to certain diseases or endocrine factors that can cause breast hypotrophy,age must not be forgotten: the older you get, the more likely your breasts are to lose volume and sag, which is known as breast ptosis.

If the cause of breast hypotrophy is hormonal, hormonal treatments to stimulate breast growth can be considered as a first step. This is particularly relevant for young women and teenagers suffering from hormonal deficiency. The side effects are significant, however, which is why this solution is not always recommended. The most frequent recourse for correcting breast hypotrophy isbreast augmentation, which involves enhancing the size and shape of the breasts with silicone breast implants. The shape of the prostheses is carefully chosen to best meet your aesthetic needs. Breast lift, also known as mastopexy, is another popular procedure. Originally designed to lift and firm sagging breasts, it can be combined with breast implants to increase breast volume as well as lift the breasts. Finally, breast lipofilling is also an effective solution, enabling you to achieve a more natural look by injecting your own fat. It’s a good alternative to implants, as it presents fewer risks of allergic reaction or rejection than breast implants.

It’s important to take certain factors into account when choosing the method best suited to your needs. In addition to the desired aesthetic appearance, there are a number of important factors to consider before choosing the method that’s right for you. A breast lift is ideal if your skin is sufficiently elastic: skin whose tissues lack tone can compromise the result of the procedure. And when combined with breast implants to increase breast size, it’s important to choose the right shape and size of implants to avoid the risk of recurrent ptosis (sagging breasts). In the case of lipofilling, this will only be possible if you havea sufficient level of fat, enabling it to be reinjected into the breast. Good skin elasticity is also a prerequisite. The expected result must also be natural. As the fat injected is partially reabsorbed by the body, the procedure may not be sufficient if the desired augmentation is large. Last but not least, breast implants are for you if you’re looking for significant volume, since there are many size options available. Furthermore, they are a suitable option if your mammary gland is damaged or insufficient, as implants will restore the missing volume independently of the glandular tissue, unlike lipofilling, for example, which depends on the quality of the existing glandular tissue.

Since breast hypotrophy is not considered a health risk, it is often regarded as a cosmetic problem, which is not covered by health insurance. In other words, if the motivation is purely aesthetic, and the hypotrophy is deemed to be slight, medical expenses cannot be reimbursed.

Before making a decision, it’s important to know how much a procedure will cost. The first thing to consider is the consultation appointment, which costs between €30 and €70. Once you’ve decided on the type of operation you want, the price depends on a number of factors, including whether or not you have breast implants, and how large they are. You should expect to pay between €5,350 and €6,775 for a breast lift, €6450 for breast augmentation using lipofilling and between €4,955 and €5,475 for breast augmentation using prostheses (implants). It is also possible to replace breast prostheses at a cost of between €4,175 and €4,955.
