Large breasts may cause physical discomfort, and back pain and prevent women from feeling beautiful and happy. A breast reduction surgery provides a woman with the opportunity to alleviate discomfort and feel attractive again.
What is the process of breast reduction surgery?
Breast reduction surgery is performed under general anaesthesia to remove excess breast volume, mammary gland tissue and a part of the breast skin. The surgery reshapes the breasts, aligning them with the body’s proportions.
The surgery delivers long-lasting results, ensuring the woman experiences sustained relief from physical discomfort. This enables her to move and exercise freely, ultimately restoring her self-confidence.
Breast reduction essentials – what do I need to know?
Results: The results of breast reduction become apparent within 6-8 months post-surgery, after swelling.
Swelling: Expect temporary swelling in the initial 1-3 months post-surgery.
Scars: Typically around the nipples, with additional vertical and horizontal scars beneath the breast (depending on the surgery). They will gradually fade over time and should be invisible under a bikini.
Anaesthesia: Breast reduction surgery is performed under general anaesthesia.
How long does it last? Results are long-lasting, you may not plan another breast surgery for decades.
Changes to results: Aging, weight fluctuations, or hormonal shifts may affect outcome.
The right candidate: Be in good overall health, free from medical conditions that could impair healing or increase surgical risks.
Breast reduction age: The ideal candidate should have fully developed breasts.
What size breasts qualify for reduction?
There is no specific cup size or measurement that qualifies someone for breast reduction surgery. A good indication for surgery are symptoms, such as chronic back, neck, or shoulder pain, bra strap indentations, skin irritation beneath the breasts, and difficulty participating in physical activities due to the weight and size of their breasts.
Breast reduction: pregnancy & breastfeeding concerns
Having breast reduction surgery before having children may result in changes to breast size during pregnancy, potentially affecting surgical outcomes and breastfeeding ability.
