Breast Reduction

If your breasts are causing you health or cosmetic problems, Breast Reduction (Mammoplasty) might be the best option for you. Overly large breasts are not only a nuisance to some women, but also the cause of physical discomfort, pain, and for some, a lack of confidence and self-esteem.

What is breast reduction surgery?

Breast Reduction, or Mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure performed under general anesthetic. Fat, glandular tissue and skin are removed from your breasts, which are then reshaped and the nipples re-positioned. It is therefore suitable for a wide range of candidates, regardless of age. A breast reduction is a more invasive procedure and can require an overnight stay in hospital, as well as a resting period of 2-3 weeks and 6 weeks in total for recovery following surgery.

The biggest advantage of a breast reduction is that I am able to completely change the shape of your breasts and lift them. Your nipples can also be re-positioned in proportion to your new breast size.

Breast Reduction is ideal for those whose breasts contain more glandular tissue than fat. If you have sagging or empty breasts, or are unhappy about the shape of your breasts or the positioning of your nipples, a Mammoplasty and Mastopexy procedure may be the best way forward. Other patients may require both a reduction and augmentation using implants.

Your Breast reduction consultation

Your virtual consultation is the perfect opportunity to meet with myself and my team, find out everything about your breast reduction procedure including risks, recovery and expected results and ask any questions.

Prior to your consultation we recommend looking at before and after photographs of breast sizes and shapes that you both like and dislike. You can bring these along to your consultation to help guide us as to the type of look you are hoping to achieve with surgery.

During your consultation I will discuss with you the following important elements of breast reduction surgery:

  • Shape of your breasts
  • Size of your breasts
  • Breast asymmetry
  • Scar shape and length
