The main reason for considering a breast reduction, or reduction mammoplasty is that an over generous bust size
can be distressing or uncomfortable.
Backpain Relief
Large breasts can often be the cause of significant
physical discomfort and self-consciousness. Breast
reduction surgery could significantly help to relieve
the constant backache or shoulder pain associated
with big breasts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Am I being vain wanting a breast reduction?
Looking after our appearance is not a vanity. You should feel proud of yourself for having the courage to want to change something that you feel unhappy with, especially if large breasts are causing back or shoulder pain, issues with confidence or even problems in selecting clothes.
Q: How much smaller can my breasts be reduced?
Each individual breast reduction case is different, your surgeon will examine you and discuss the achievable reduction in size.
Q: Who is a good candidate for breast reduction surgery?
A breast reduction is usually performed for physical relief helping the patient reduce the discomfort and embarrassment caused by very large or saggy breasts rather than for purely cosmetic reasons.
Q: What will I look like after this form of cosmetic surgery?
All cosmetic surgery is associated with bruising, so you should expect this for 7-10 days after your breast reduction. Some patients remain bruised for longer and in rare cases for up to a month or more. You may start to see the results quickly but you will not see the final benefits of your surgery for many months.
Q: Can you treat "man boobs"?
Yes, but there is a separate procedure for male breast reduction, or gynaecomastia. This can produce a sleek, trim physique by removing the excess fat and skin from the chest area, relieving the distress and embarrassment that this condition can cause.
How do I know if breast surgery is right for me?
Your surgeon will to tell you which form of breast surgery is most suitable for you and will help you understand the risks. Only you can decide whether the operation is right for you. Your surgeon will help you achieve your aim. Although no surgeon can give a guarantee, cosmetic surgery should not be scheduled unless there is a good chance you will be pleased with the result. The final decision remains one that only you can make.
