Breast Reduction FAQ
Breast reduction may be suitable if you experience physical discomfort such as back, neck, or shoulder pain due to overly large breasts, and desire a more proportionate size. The best candidates are in good general health and have realistic expectations. A detailed examination determines the most appropriate technique for your anatomy.
The goal of a well-planned breast reduction is to place incisions carefully to minimize visibility. While scars are inevitable, they typically fade significantly over time and can be concealed under most clothing and swimwear.
Most patients feel comfortable returning to light daily activities within about 7 to 10 days, while swelling continues to improve over the following weeks. You will need to wear a supportive surgical bra during the initial recovery phase.
While modern techniques aim to preserve the milk ducts and nipple sensation, breast reduction can potentially affect breastfeeding ability. If you plan to have children and breastfeed in the future, this should be discussed during your consultation.
Most patients should plan enough time for consultation, surgery, and early postoperative checks before travelling back. Typically, a stay of about 7 to 10 days is recommended, depending on the treatment plan and your recovery progress.
