Breast Reduction
Relief from the back, neck and shoulder strain of overly large breasts — reducing volume and lifting to a comfortable, proportionate, well-shaped size.
Breast Reduction
What it is
Breast reduction removes excess breast tissue, fat and skin, then lifts and reshapes the breast to a size proportionate to your frame. It is as much a functional procedure — relieving pain and restriction — as an aesthetic one.
Who it's for
- Back, neck or shoulder pain from heavy breasts
- Skin irritation in the breast fold
- Difficulty exercising or finding clothing that fits
- Patients seeking both comfort and shape
The procedure
Performed under general anaesthesia over two to three hours. Tissue is removed and the breast reshaped and lifted, with the nipple repositioned. Usually a single-night stay.
Recovery & aftercare
A supportive bra is worn for several weeks. Desk work resumes in one to two weeks; full activity at six weeks.
Frequently asked
Is it covered by insurance?+
Often, where there is documented pain or functional impairment. We help with the assessment and documentation.
Will I be able to breastfeed?+
Breastfeeding may be possible but cannot be guaranteed; we discuss this fully if relevant to you.
Are the scars noticeable?+
Scars are placed discreetly and fade considerably over a year. For most patients the relief far outweighs them.
