Breast Reduction Surgery

What is a breast reduction?

Breast reduction surgery, also known as reduction mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure that reduces the size of overly large breasts. Overly large breasts can cause health issues, body image issues, pain, and discomfort. 

Breast reduction surgery removes excess breast fat, glandular tissue, and skin to achieve a breast size in proportion with your body. The procedure is designed to alleviate the discomfort associated with overly large breasts. 

Is a breast reduction suitable for me?

Breast reduction surgery is highly individual and there are several factors to consider. Breast reduction should not occur until breast development is complete and breast-feeding is no longer required. Smokers are at an increased risk of complications and so we would advise that you quit smoking prior to your surgery. Each patient’s situation is unique and will be discussed at your appointment.
