BREAST REDUCTION

DAY ADMISSION OR 1 DAY HOSPITALIZATION

FULL ANAESTHETIC

RECOVERY TIME 3-6 WEEKS

A breast reduction restores shape, volume and firmness to proportion. Over time, breasts can change. Breasts that are too large may be present early on but may also develop because of weight gain or hormonal changes. Breasts that are too large can lead to physical problems ranging from neck pain to skin irritation under the inframammary fold. A breast reduction is a very rewarding procedure where the patient will notice immediate improvement or disappearance of physical complaints. With a breast reduction, the breast is also lifted immediately.
