The treatment of breast hypertrophy should be individualized. First, consider conservative treatment: for primary breast hypertrophy, most of them will disappear naturally and do not need special treatment; for secondary breast hypertrophy, the cause of the disease should be treated. The second choice is surgical treatment: for those with significant pain, excessive breast hypertrophy or persistent breast hypertrophy, surgical removal can be given. The hypertrophic glandular tissue is removed through the nipple arc incision, but the glandular tissue under the nipple is preserved to support the nipple, which can prevent nipple dents after surgery and restore a good breast shape.
