Surgery to reduce the size of uncomfortably large or uneven breasts — relieving pain and restoring a more proportionate, lifted, youthful shape.
Breast reduction surgery (reduction mammoplasty) reduces the size of the breasts for women who have uneven or uncomfortably large breasts. The procedure removes excess fat, glandular tissue and skin and, where required, reshapes the breasts to create a smaller, more manageable size and a lifted contour. Women often consider breast reduction for chronic back, neck and shoulder pain, deep grooves from bra straps, restricted activity, difficulty with sports or finding well-fitting swimwear and clothing, or self-image concerns. Most women who undergo breast reduction are very satisfied with the results, and men with conditions such as gynecomastia may also benefit from a similar procedure. The ideal breast size is highly personal — depending on weight, height, shoulder and hip width, as well as personal preference — and is fully discussed in your consultation.
