BOOK A CONSULTATION MEET OUR SURGEONSWhat is Breast Reduction Surgery?
Breast reduction, also known as reduction mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes excess breast tissue, fat and skin to reduce the size and weight of the breasts. At the same time, the breasts are reshaped and lifted to create a firmer, more proportionate appearance.
Many women experience ongoing physical discomfort due to overly large breasts, including back, neck and shoulder pain, skin irritation beneath the breasts, difficulty exercising and problems finding well-fitting clothing. Breast reduction surgery can significantly improve these symptoms while enhancing overall body balance and comfort.
The procedure also repositions the nipples to create a natural, youthful breast shape that complements your body proportions. Every treatment plan is tailored to your anatomy, lifestyle and desired outcome.
For many patients, breast reduction is a life-changing procedure that improves both physical wellbeing and self-confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything You Need to Know.
Appointments and Consultations
Will breast reduction relieve back and neck pain?
Many patients experience significant relief from back, neck and shoulder pain after breast reduction surgery, although individual results vary.
Will my breasts be lifted as part of the procedure?
Yes. Breast reduction surgery includes reshaping and lifting the breasts, creating a firmer, more youthful appearance while reducing their size.
Will I have visible scars?
Breast reduction surgery involves carefully placed incisions, and some scarring is unavoidable. Your surgeon will discuss the expected scar pattern and provide advice on scar care to help scars fade over time.
How long is the recovery?
Most patients return to desk-based work within two weeks, although strenuous activity and heavy lifting should be avoided for around six weeks.
Can I breastfeed after breast reduction surgery?
Some women are able to breastfeed following breast reduction, but the procedure can affect milk production. Your surgeon will discuss this with you during your consultation.
Will my results be permanent?
Breast reduction provides long-lasting results, although ageing, weight changes and pregnancy may affect breast size and shape over time.
How much smaller will my breasts be?
Your consultant surgeon will discuss your desired outcome during your consultation and recommend a breast size that is proportionate to your body while achieving relief from symptoms.
When will I see my final results?
Although you'll notice an immediate reduction in breast size, swelling takes time to settle. Final results are usually visible within three to six months following surgery.
