Overview
Overly large breasts can cause physical discomfort, emotional distress, and self-consciousness. Our expert team is dedicated to helping you achieve a more comfortable, proportionate, and confident self through personalised breast reduction surgery.
Breast Reduction is a procedure designed to reduce the size and weight of large breasts. This surgery involves the removal of excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to achieve a breast size that is more proportional to your body and alleviates discomfort. Besides the functional advantages of this procedure, breast reduction aims to give a more youthful and proportionate appearance to your upper body.
Benefits
Alleviation of Physical Discomfort: Reduce chronic neck, shoulder, and back pain often associated with large breasts.
Improved Posture and Mobility: Enhance your ability to engage in physical activities without discomfort or limitations.
Balanced Proportions: Achieve a breast size that complements your body shape, enhancing overall aesthetics.
Increased Confidence: Feel more comfortable and confident in your appearance and clothing choices.
Better Sleep: Relief from pain and discomfort can improve sleep quality.
Understanding Reduction Patterns, Scars, and Nipple Position
Reduction Patterns: There are different surgical techniques used in breast reduction, which vary based on the incision pattern:
Anchor or Inverted-T Incision: The most common pattern, involving an incision around the areola, vertically down to the breast crease, and along the crease.
Lollipop or Vertical Incision: Involves an incision around the areola and vertically down to the breast crease, avoiding the horizontal incision.
Doughnut or Periareolar Incision: Involves an incision around the areola, suitable for minor reductions and lifts.
Scars: Scarring is a natural part of the healing process. The type and visibility of scars depend on the incision pattern used. Over time, scars typically fade and become less noticeable. Our surgeons use advanced techniques to minimise scarring and provide detailed aftercare instructions to promote optimal healing.
Nipple Position: During the procedure, the nipple and areola are often repositioned to a higher, more natural location on the breast. The size of the areola may also be reduced to match the new breast size. Our surgeons ensure the repositioning maintains blood and nerve supply to preserve sensation.
Recovery Process
Recovery from breast reduction surgery varies for each individual, but general guidelines include:
Initial Recovery: Most patients take 1-2 weeks off from work and normal activities to rest and heal.
Wearing a Support Bra: A surgical bra or support garment is recommended to minimise swelling and support the breasts during the healing process.
Managing Discomfort: Pain and discomfort can be managed with prescribed medications. Swelling and bruising are common but subside over time.
Follow-Up Appointments: Regular check-ups are necessary to monitor healing and remove sutures if needed.
Resuming Activities: Light activities can be resumed after a few weeks, but strenuous activities and heavy lifting should be avoided for at least 4-6 weeks.
Scar Care: Specific instructions on scar care will be provided to promote healing and minimize scar appearance.
