Breast reduction

For many women, a large and heavy bust can cause more than just aesthetic concerns. It can affect both your physical comfort and quality of life. Over time, larger breasts can lead to physical problems such as:

pain in shoulders and neck
marks from bra straps
eczema in the breast fold
reduced capacity for active mobility.

For women experiencing these problems, breast reduction may offer a solution. Breast reduction surgery removes excess breast tissue and skin. The size of the areola is also reduced if necessary, thus reducing the volume and weight of the breast, creating a smaller and more youthful breast shape.

How does breast reduction work?

In a breast reduction, incisions are made around the areola and usually also vertically down towards the breast fold. Excess tissue and skin are removed, and the breast is reshaped. If necessary, the areola is moved to a higher position for a more proportionate result. The operation is performed under general anaesthesia and usually takes 2-3 hours.

What is the recovery time after breast reduction?

Most patients can return to light everyday activities within a week, but full physical recovery and exercise should wait for about 4-6 weeks. Swelling and soreness are common in the first few weeks. At The Faculty, you will receive clear instructions and close follow-up for a safe healing process.

Are there scars after breast reduction?

Yes, scars are a natural part of the healing process after breast reduction surgery. However, they are placed as discreetly as possible - often around the perineum and vertically downwards. With proper aftercare, they gradually fade over time. Our surgeons always work to minimise scarring.
