Leeds breast reduction overview
Medically reviewed May 2023, by Mr Sankar - Chief Medical Officer for The Harley Medical Group. Next review due May 2024.
Women who have oversized breasts may experience physical discomfort such as neck and back pain, as well as rashes under their breasts. Finding properly fitting clothes, bras, and swimwear can also be challenging, and physical activities may be limited, affecting self-esteem. A breast reduction can relieve these issues, resulting in smaller, shapelier, and lighter breasts. This can lead to increased comfort in clothing, a more active lifestyle, and a significant boost in self-confidence.

Is a breast reduction right for me?
If the size and weight of your breasts are causing physical discomfort in your daily life or affecting your personal and professional life, breast reduction surgery may be the best solution for you.
The procedure for breast reduction in Leeds
Typically, a breast reduction surgery involves making an anchor-shaped incision around your areola and extending downwards underneath your breast. Your surgeon will remove any excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to reduce the size of your breasts, and then reshape them. Your areolas will be repositioned, and the incisions will be closed. In some cases, if your breasts are very large, your surgeon may need to detach and reposition your areolas.
Leeds breast reduction recovery & aftercare
Breast reduction surgery is a cosmetic procedure aimed at reducing the size of the breasts and improving their shape. It can relieve physical symptoms such as back and neck pain, shoulder grooving, and skin irritation, as well as improve self-esteem and body confidence.
After the procedure, patients will need to take proper care of their incision sites, which may include wearing a surgical bra or compression garment and avoiding strenuous physical activity for a few weeks. Pain, swelling, and bruising are common in the first few days after surgery and can be managed with pain medication and rest. Patients will also need to attend follow-up appointments with their surgeon to monitor their healing progress and ensure that the desired results are achieved. With proper aftercare, patients can enjoy a comfortable and confident life after breast reduction surgery.

Choosing a surgeon

To make an informed decision, consider checking the consultant's qualifications and experience, as well as expert and patient reviews and their reputation. Additionally, ask for more information about the consultant's experience and patient outcomes and look at before and after pictures of their previous patients.
