Breast Reduction FAQs
What are the reasons for considering breast reduction surgery?
Breast reduction surgery is often chosen by women who experience the following issues:
-
Excessively large and heavy breasts
Oversized breasts can cause discomfort, making daily activities challenging and limiting wardrobe choices. -
Chronic backache
Larger breasts can lead to persistent back pain, poor posture, and overall physical discomfort. Reducing the size of the breasts may alleviate this strain on your back. -
Painful bra strap indentations
Heavy breasts often cause bra straps to dig into the shoulders, leading to pain, irritation, and even permanent shoulder indentations.
This procedure can provide relief from these challenges, enhancing physical comfort and improving confidence.
You should not have a breast reduction procedure if...
You have a BMI of over 32, smoke or vape, are in bad health and are taking anti-coagulant medication or are diabetic.

What is the difference between a breast reduction and a breast uplift?
A breast reduction reduces the size and weight of ladies breasts using a carefully planned pattern of scarring.
The nipple is often sitting in a low position in ladies who have larger breasts and this is also lifted at the same time to create a pleasing natural appearance.
What is involved in Breast Reduction surgery?
On the morning of surgery I will come and mark you up which means planning the operation by writing on the skin using a special felt tip pen. This is an important part of breast surgery when planning the new position of the nipples and the extent of the skin and glands to be removed.
A Breast Reduction is done under general anaesthetic i.e. asleep. It generally takes between 2 and 3 hours to complete the surgery. I do not use drains and I use all dissolving stitches.
A small reduction may mean that you are able to go home the same day but if it is a larger reduction then I prefer you to stay in hospital for one night to ensure you are comfortable and the breasts can be monitored for swelling or bleeding.
How long will I need help after surgery?
Generally you will need to have some help with shopping and childcare for the two weeks at a minimum as it is advisable not to lift anything heavy while your wounds are healing.
Do I have to stay overnight in hospital?
For an uplift you can usually be a day case.
For a reduction, depending on the size of the reduction, you may need to stay overnight in the hospital and you should arrange for someone to pick you up the next day.
Can I pick a cup size if I am having a reduction?
It is not possible to promise a cup size but we will do our very best to produce the size and shape of breasts you desire.
There are limitations to what can be achieved and this will be discussed fully with you consultation.
Assessment
You will come back from theatre wearing a compression garment and this is a very important part of the post op care so that you get the best result. The garment helps to stop swelling and fluid collections and ensures that the skin that was lifted up during the procedure sticks down smoothly.
You will have tiny wounds that are closed with dissolving stitches.
Post Operative Procedure
You will be seen the next day by me in your chosen hospital to monitor your breasts and then allowed to go home with a plan to be reviewed in 10-14 days to check the wounds. It is important to keep the wounds clean and dry and to rest at home.
You must ensure you keep yourself mobile by having a short 5 minute walk every hour as this reduces the risk of post operative clots.
Complications
All operations have the potential for complications and a breast reduction is no exception. The most frequently seen issues are in the small area where a scar meets the chest wall which can sometimes be a little slower to heal.
Poor scarring is a risk in any surgery and is not under the control of the cosmetic surgeon.
A risk that is always discussed is the potential of loss of a nipple. This is because the nipple has to be moved and it needs to carry a healthy blood supply with it. If the blood supply does not feed the nipple then there can be problems with healing or loss of the nipple.
This is something I have very rarely seen in my whole career and is more common if a breast reduction is being repeated and the plastic surgeon does not have the information regarding the previous surgery available to them.
Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma (ALCL) is a very rare cancer that MAY be associated with breast implant capsules.
Approximately only 3 in 100 million women in the US are diagnosed per year. The relationship between breast implants and ALCL is unclear and is currently under investigation.
What should I do if I am worried post op?
If you have any cause for concern after your surgery such as dressings being soiled or increasing pain and redness, then you should contact the hospital on the number provided on your discharge notes.
We will also review you in the clinic 2 weeks after surgery and remove your dressings and check your wounds are healing nicely.
