Breast Reduction Mammoplasty Surgery

Breast Reduction Surgery

What is Breast Reduction Surgery?

If you experience back pain or posture issues due to large, heavy breasts and desire more proportionately sized breasts, breast reduction surgery might offer a suitable option. The goal of Breast Reduction/Mammoplasty surgery is to alleviate the weight of large, heavy breasts, as well as address breast ptosis (sagging), physical discomfort, and skin chafing. The procedure involves the removal of excess breast tissue, skin, and fat from the breasts

How The Process Works

Step 1. Consultation

Your journey starts with a personal consultation where you can share your concerns and goals. The surgeon will carefully assess your health and breast shape, explain your options, and answer all your questions so you feel confident about the path ahead.

Step 2. Surgery

Breast reduction surgery is performed under general anaesthetic and usually takes 2-3 hours. The surgeon reshapes the breasts by removing extra tissue and skin, then repositions the nipples for a natural, balanced look.

Step 3. Recovery

Most people take one to two weeks off for rest and gentle healing. You’ll wear a supportive garment and gradually return to everyday activities, with full results continuing to settle in over the months that follow .
