Breast reduction surgery is a commonly performed procedure which, in addition to reducing the size and weight of the breasts, also improves their shape and droop.
There are many reasons why a patient may choose to have a breast reduction. For patients who suffer from various physical symptoms associated with having large breasts such as backache and neck pains, the relief following surgery is often immediate. Large breasts can also restrict some womens' ability to exercise, find comfortable and well-fitted clothing, and make them feel self-conscious.
It is important that you are aware of the limitations and potential complications before choosing to get surgery. It is impossible to guarantee you will achieve the exact cup size you desire.
There will always be some swelling and the final result will not be visible for a few months after surgery. The nipple is moved during the procedure and so the sensation and blood supply may be interrupted. The effect on lactation (breast feeding) is unpredictable and it may be that you will not be able to breast feed post-operatively. If this is important to you, you should delay surgery until you have finished your family.
Patients should expect a small amount of scarring after breast reduction surgery. The different breast reduction techniques, in combination with the size of the breasts being operated on, result in differently positioned scars. The level of scarring will vary from patient to patient.
The most common breast reduction scars are around the nipple and vertically, linking the nipple scar to the breast fold. This is called a 'vertical scar' reduction. Some patients may not be suitable for this if they have larger breasts, and will require a scar underneath the breasts, across the bottom of the breast fold.
Please get in touch to confirm your fee. All patients will require a consultation prior to surgery to assess your individual requirements and desires.
