About the treatment
Reduction Mammoplasty
Some individuals may experience physical discomfort associated with disproportionately large breasts. Reduction Mammoplasty is a surgical procedure performed to remove excess breast tissue, skin, and fat to reduce breast size and improve comfort.
What Is Reduction Mammoplasty?
Reduction Mammoplasty aims to reshape and reduce the size of the breasts by removing excess tissue, while also addressing concerns such as posture and musculoskeletal strain. This procedure is performed by a Specialist Plastic Surgeon following a comprehensive clinical assessment.
Reasons Individuals May Seek Reduction Mammoplasty Surgery Can Include:
-
Neck, shoulder or back discomfort: The weight of larger breasts may contribute to musculoskeletal strain.
-
Posture-related concerns: Individuals may experience changes in posture or physical discomfort related to breast size.
-
Skin irritation: In some cases, excess breast tissue may contribute to chafing or skin irritation beneath the breast fold.
-
Physical activity limitations: Some individuals may find large breasts interfere with certain physical activities.
Surgical suitability and expected outcomes vary between individuals. A consultation with a qualified surgeon is required to determine appropriateness for surgery. A second opinion from another qualified practitioner is also recommended before proceeding.
