Breast Reduction
Breast reduction surgery involves the removal of excess fat, breast tissue and excess skin from one or both breasts to make them smaller, lighter and more lifted. For many women, breast reduction surgery is life changing. Daily life is much more comfortable, with improved sleep, better posture and a renewed sense of confidence.
Breast Reduction:
"Rediscover Comfort and Confidence with Breast Reduction."
Breast reduction, or reduction mammaplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to reduce the size and weight of the breasts. This procedure is ideal for individuals who experience physical discomfort, such as back, neck, or shoulder pain, due to overly large breasts.
Breast reduction not only relieves these symptoms but also restores a more balanced and youthful breast shape, improving overall body proportions. Whether you're seeking relief from discomfort or simply wish to enhance your figure, breast reduction can significantly improve both your physical well-being and self-confidence.

Procedure time
Breast reduction surgery typically takes about 3 to 5 hours, depending on the amount of tissue to be removed and whether any additional procedures, like a breast lift, are performed.
Number of nights in hospital
Most breast reduction surgeries are performed on an outpatient basis, meaning patients can go home the same day. However, in some cases, especially if there are complications or additional procedures, an overnight stay may be recommended.
Recovery
Full recovery, including the ability to resume strenuous activities and exercise, generally takes 4-6 weeks. During this time, it's important to follow post-surgery care instructions to ensure optimal healing.

Questions you might ask about our services.
The cost of breast reduction varies based on factors such as the surgeon’s experience, the complexity of the procedure, and your location. It’s best to schedule a consultation for a personalized quote. Insurance may cover the cost if the procedure is medically necessary, such as for pain relief.
While breast reduction is generally safe, as with any surgery, there are risks, including infection, scarring, changes in nipple sensation, and uneven breast shape. Discussing your medical history with your surgeon can help minimize risks.
Yes, some scarring is inevitable, but your surgeon will work to minimize visible scarring. The scars typically fade over time and can be hidden under clothing or bras. Most scars are located around the areola, vertically down the breast, or in the crease underneath the breast.
Most patients return to work within 1-2 weeks, depending on the nature of their job. Strenuous activities and exercise should be avoided for at least 4-6 weeks to ensure proper healing.
