How Does Breast Reduction Work
Breast reduction works by removing excess breast tissue, fat and skin while reshaping the breast and repositioning the nipple to a more youthful location. The incision plan is customised based on your anatomy and the amount of reduction needed. The surgery focuses equally on comfort, symmetry and aesthetic shape.
What are Breast Reduction?
Breast reduction can significantly improve quality of life by reducing physical discomfort, improving posture and making movement and exercise easier. Many patients also feel more confident, find clothing fits better and experience a more balanced body shape.
FAQ's
Will breast reduction relieve pain?
Yes, many patients experience major relief from back, shoulder and neck discomfort caused by heavy breasts. Posture and physical activity often improve as the body becomes more balanced. Your surgeon will discuss expected changes based on your anatomy.
What is recovery like?
Most patients take one to two weeks off work depending on activity levels. Swelling and tenderness are normal early on and improve steadily. You will be advised to wear supportive garments and avoid heavy lifting for several weeks.
Will I be able to breastfeed after surgery?
Breastfeeding may still be possible for some patients, but it cannot be guaranteed. The ability depends on the surgical technique and how much tissue is removed. If future breastfeeding is important, discuss it clearly during consultation.
Are scars noticeable?
Scars are part of breast reduction, but they are placed to be as discreet as possible and usually fade well. Scar appearance varies by skin type and aftercare. Your surgeon will guide you on scar management to support smooth healing.
How long do results last?
Results are long lasting, especially with stable weight and healthy lifestyle. Pregnancy or major weight changes can affect breast size and shape later. Many patients enjoy permanent comfort and improved proportions.
