Breast Reduction

Breast reduction surgery, also referred to as Reduction Mammaplasty, can successfully improve the pain, discomfort and embarrassment that is frequently associated with large breasts.

More sizeable breasts can often be uncomfortable and cause neck pain, back and shoulder pain, poor posture and a rash under the breasts.The operation removes excess breast fat and glandular tissue, relieving the discomfort of large, heavy breasts, whilst creating a more attractive shape and size.

Breast Reduction Surgery

Before surgery, the breasts will be drawn on to show where the incisions and nipple will be placed. Incisions will generally be around the nipple and vertically from the nipple downwards to the crease below the breast. The nipple will be supported by a stalk of breast tissue (the pedicle) while the operation is taking place, and repositioned upwards in accordance with the markings made on the breast.

Miss Breahna uses a supero-medial pedicle with either an ‘inverted T’ or a vertical scar technique, depending on the individual characteristics of the breast. Due to the nature of this surgery, an overnight stay in hospital will be required. After your surgery, you will need to wear a surgical supportive bra for up to 6 weeks, to support the healing process and reduce the discomfort from early mobilisation.

Follow-up appointments at the breast surgery clinic in Chester or The Wirral will be arranged at 1, 2 and 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months and 1 year post surgery to closely monitor your physical well-being.
