Breast Reduction
Restore Comfort, Balance & Confidence Through Breast Reduction Surgery
Breast Reduction is a surgical procedure that reduces breast size while reshaping the breasts to create a more balanced body profile. By removing excess breast tissue, fat and skin, the procedure can relieve discomfort associated with disproportionately large breasts while improving breast shape and proportion.
What Is Breast Reduction?
Breast Reduction, also known as reduction mammoplasty, is a doctor-performed procedure designed to reduce the size and weight of the breasts. During surgery, excess breast tissue, fat and skin are removed before the breasts are reshaped and repositioned to achieve a natural contour.
The procedure is commonly recommended for individuals experiencing physical discomfort, limitations in daily activities or difficulty finding well-fitting clothing because of overly large breasts.

Why Breast Reduction Works
What to Expect
-
Your surgeon evaluates breast size, skin quality, body proportions and any symptoms related to breast weight before developing a personalised surgical plan.
-
The procedure is performed under general anaesthesia to ensure comfort throughout surgery.
-
Excess breast tissue, fat and skin are removed, and the breasts are reshaped to achieve an appropriate size and natural contour. The nipple-areola complex may be repositioned depending on the surgical plan.
-
Swelling, bruising and tenderness are expected during the first two to four weeks. A supportive surgical bra is usually recommended while healing, and strenuous activity should be avoided.
-
As swelling subsides, the breasts settle into their new shape. Many patients notice improved comfort in daily activities and exercise as recovery progresses.
