Very large and heavy breasts may cause considerable physical and/or psychological distress. Discomfort such as neck, back and shoulder pain, poor posture and skin irritation may occur. A breast reduction is a commonly requested surgery, as it is a very effective way of addressing these problems.
The procedure involves removing excess skin and breast tissue to achieve a new and improved size and shape. The amount of scarring will depend on the individual case, and your surgeon will explain the implications to you in detail.
The operation is performed under a general anaesthetic and you will be required to stay overnight in the hospital before being discharged the following day.
At Mybreast, we are committed to providing you with the highest possible standard of care. Whether you have come to us for a breast enlargement, breast reduction or breast lift, we promise to look after you before, during and after surgery. Our commitment to you, which you will experience through our long-term care policy, is just as serious as your commitment to having surgery.
We operate a lifetime follow-up policy for all our patients. If you need to consult Mybreast or one of our surgeons at any time after your initial follow-up consultation phase, you are very welcome to do so.
