Breast Reduction Surgery

Women with overly large breasts often feel that their lives are restricted both physically and emotionally. Overly large breasts can be a source of physical discomfort, causing back and breast pain, and can often lead to bad posture.

A breast reduction procedure can restore proportion to your body and give you more self-confidence and the freedom to lead the life you want to live.

The procedure for breast reduction surgery

A breast reduction procedure involves reducing the amount of breast tissue whilst uplifting the breast tissue at the same time. In order to achieve the desired outcome the Cosmetic Surgeon may need to reposition the nipple and areola to give the breasts a natural appearance. Breast reduction surgery usually takes three hours to complete, depending on the size of your breasts. The operation is carried out under general anaesthetic, and you will need to stay in hospital for 1 or 2 nights.

Recovery from breast reduction Surgery

Following breast reduction surgery, you will need to take one or two weeks off work, avoiding heavy exercise for several weeks. You will be required to wear a supportive bra (eg a sports bra) for up to 3 months, day and night to keep the breasts well supported whilst healing takes place and ultimately to give you the best possible results.
