What is a Breast Reduction?
A Breast Reduction, medically known as reduction mammaplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes excess breast fat, glandular tissue, and skin. The goals are to achieve a breast size that is more proportionate to your body and to alleviate the physical discomfort associated with excessively large breasts. During the procedure, the remaining breast tissue is reshaped, and the nipple and areola are repositioned to a higher, more youthful location, resulting in smaller, lighter, and firmer breasts.
Before & After
Who is it for?
Breast reduction is a highly beneficial procedure for healthy women who experience: Chronic back, neck, and shoulder pain requiring pain medication. Deep, painful shoulder grooves from bra straps. Chronic rash or skin irritation under the breasts. Nerve pain or postural problems. Restricted ability to participate in sports and physical activities. Emotional distress, self-consciousness, or unwanted attention related to their large breast size.
Benefits of the Procedure
The benefits of a breast reduction are significant and address both physical and emotional well-being: Functional Relief: Alleviates chronic pain in the back, neck, and shoulders. Improves posture and eliminates skin irritation. Increased Freedom: Makes it easier and more comfortable to engage in physical exercise and daily activities. Aesthetic Gains: Creates a more proportionate and balanced body silhouette. Clothes fit better and are more flattering. Psychological Gains: Dramatically improves self-esteem, body image, and overall quality of life by reducing self-consciousness and discomfort.
How is it Done?
Your breast reduction surgery at Redo is a major procedure performed with the utmost care for your safety and desired outcome. Consultation: A comprehensive discussion about your symptoms, desired breast size, and the surgical plan. Your surgeon will assess your anatomy to determine the best technique. Anesthesia: The surgery is performed safely and comfortably under general anesthesia. Surgical Technique: The most common technique involves an anchor-shaped (or inverted-T) incision. This allows the surgeon to remove a significant amount of excess tissue, fat, and skin. The underlying breast tissue is then sculpted into a smaller, uplifted shape, and the nipple and areola are repositioned to a more central, natural location. Duration: A breast reduction surgery typically takes between 2 to 4 hours.
Recovery & Aftercare
Dedicated post-operative care is essential for a smooth recovery. Hospital Stay: A one to two-night stay in our accredited partner hospital is standard for comfortable monitoring after surgery. Week 1-2: You will recover in your hotel wearing a specialized surgical support bra. Swelling and soreness are expected and are managed with medication. You can typically return to light daily activities and desk work within this period. Weeks 6+: It is crucial to avoid heavy lifting (anything over 5kg/10lbs) and strenuous exercise for at least six weeks to allow for proper healing. Aftercare: You will be provided with detailed instructions for wound and scar care. The support bra must be worn continuously as directed to minimize swelling and support the healing tissues.
