What is Breast Reduction Surgery?
Breast Reduction Surgery (reduction mammoplasty) removes excess breast fat, glandular tissue, and skin to achieve a breast size in better proportion with the body. It is performed to relieve chronic neck, back, and shoulder pain, skin irritation, and posture problems caused by overly large or heavy breasts, and also improves mobility and quality of life. The procedure can be combined with a breast lift for optimal shape and symmetry.
Who may be considered?
Breast Reduction Surgery may be considered after a qualified specialist reviews your reports and medical history. Suitability varies from person to person and must be assessed by your treating doctor.
How does it work?
A traditional technique using an anchor-shaped incision to remove significant tissue volume while repositioning the nipple-areola complex, suitable for moderate to severe hypertrophy.

Recovery and follow-up
Most patients can resume light daily activities within 1-2 weeks, while strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for 4-6 weeks; a supportive surgical bra should be worn continuously as advised, with follow-up visits to monitor healing and remove sutures.
Risks
As with any surgery, potential risks include bleeding, infection, changes in nipple/breast sensation, asymmetry, delayed wound healing, and difficulty breastfeeding in the future; scarring is permanent though it typically fades over time.
Alternatives
Non-surgical alternatives such as weight loss, supportive bras, and physical therapy may relieve mild symptoms but do not permanently reduce breast size; liposuction alone may suit select patients with mostly fatty breast tissue.
