Who is breast reduction for?

If your breasts are heavy and droopy, with the nipples pointing downwards, or your breasts are of an uneven size, if the heaviness of your breasts causes you back, shoulder or neck pain, or you get skin irritation underneath your breasts, then breast reduction surgery may be an answer for you.

A breast reduction may also be appropriate if you feel self-conscious about the size of your breasts, that they seem too big for your body frame, or that the size of your breasts causes restrictions in which physical activities you can participate in.

How is breast reduction surgery performed?

Usually, the Breast Reduction process involves three incisions, one around the areola (the area around your nipple), another vertically from the areola to the crease of the breast, and one more horizontal incision beneath the breast, following the curve of the breast crease.

Excess fat, skin and tissue are removed, and then the areola and nipple are moved to a higher position. The nipples and areolas remain connected to the blood and nerve supply throughout the procedure, so you should experience no loss of sensitivity after your cosmetic breast reduction surgery.

The breast reduction procedure takes place under general anaesthetic and will require an overnight stay in the clinic.

What are the risks with breast reduction?

As with all surgery, there is a risk attached to the breast reduction procedure. However, the risks are extremely low, so most women experience no complications, and are delighted with the results. Your cosmetic surgeon will be able to discuss any risks, and determine whether this treatment is suitable for your individual case. Also, you can read our article "Know The Risks Of Cosmetic Surgery Before Having Any Procedure Done" for more details.

How long will recovery take after my breast reduction?

For approximately one month after your breast reduction operation, you should avoid lifting and bending, and you will require a support bra for around a month and a half. It is usually okay to return to (non-strenuous) work within two or three weeks of your breast reduction surgery, while mild exercise can often be resumed in as little as four weeks. You will probably find that following the breast reduction procedure, you find exercise more enjoyable, without the weight of excessively large breasts.

Following the Breast Reduction operation, scarring should be minimal, and will be easily concealed. There are very good scar creams available that help to minimise the appearance of scars, although you should not start to use them until advised that it is alright by your cosmetic breast reduction surgeon.

How much does a breast reduction operation cost?

Prices do vary considerably within Europe, and for Breast Reduction Surgery, you can often expect what you pay to be around 50% cheaper in Central and Eastern Europe, compared to getting breast reduction surgery performed in the UK.

US residents frequently report paying around one-third of the US price in South and Central America, while in Asia prices can often fall even lower.

What is interesting is that very frequently, the actual quality of care and the skill of the surgeons is no lower, despite the lower price tag.
