Mammaplasty (Breast Reduction)

For individuals experiencing physical discomfort or challenges related to large breast size, Breast Reduction (mammaplasty) may provide relief. This procedure is designed to reduce excess breast tissue and improve overall balance and proportion, supporting both physical comfort and functional well-being.

OUR PROCEDURES

OVERVIEW

Breast Reduction, also known as reduction mammaplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to decrease the size and weight of the breasts by removing excess tissue, fat and skin. This procedure may help alleviate physical discomfort associated with large breasts and improve overall body proportion.

At East Coast Plastic Surgery, Breast Reduction procedures are tailored to each patient’s unique anatomy and individual goals. Our surgeons prioritise careful surgical techniques to minimise visible scarring and support a smooth recovery process.

JOURNEY

Consultation

Meet with your surgeon to discuss your concerns, desired outcomes, and the best approach to achieve a comfortable, balanced breast size.

Before surgery, patients receive clear instructions regarding fasting, medications and any necessary lifestyle adjustments. These guidelines are designed to support a safe surgical experience and optimal recovery.

The surgeon will remove excess breast tissue, fat, and skin, reshaping the breasts to a more proportionate size and position.

After surgery, you’ll receive instructions for post-operative care, such as managing discomfort and caring for the surgical area.

Attend follow-up appointments to monitor healing and ensure the best results, as well as to address any questions or concerns.

Frequently asked questions

Below are answers to some frequently asked questions about breast reduction surgery. If you have additional concerns or would like to learn more, feel free to schedule a consultation for personalised information.

Who is a good candidate for breast reduction surgery?

Individuals who experience physical discomfort, such as back or neck pain due to large breasts, and who are in good overall health may be ideal candidates.

Most patients can return to light activities within 1-2 weeks, but full recovery and final results may take several months.

Breastfeeding may be affected, depending on the surgical technique and how much tissue is removed. It’s important to discuss your breastfeeding goals with your surgeon beforehand.

Breast reduction surgery is typically performed under general anaesthesia to ensure comfort throughout the procedure.

While the results are generally long-lasting, factors like weight fluctuations and ageing can influence the breast size and shape over time.
