Breast reduction surgery

What is breast reduction surgery?

Breast reduction surgery is a procedure to make your breasts smaller, and often will make them more lifted also. It is usually performed to improve the appearance of your breasts, instead of for health reasons, but it can help significantly reduce back problems. The surgery helps people who are unhappy with the size and shape of their breasts, improving their confidence and quality of life in turn.

Why might you need breast reduction surgery?

Breast reduction surgery is for people with larger breasts who want them to be smaller. There are several reasons why you might want smaller breasts, including:

Your breasts are painful

Large breasts can cause chronic back, neck, and even shoulder pain. This can require a pain management plan involving medication and physiotherapy, and can take a significant toll on your daily life.

You can no longer enjoy the things you love

Your breasts might affect your ability to do the things you love. For example, they might cause pain when you run, preventing you from remaining as active as you would like.

Your breasts are causing skin problems

Some people with large breasts experience uncomfortable itching and rashes on the skin within the crease of their breasts. This is often exasperated by sweat, making warm weather a source of anxiety, not enjoyment.

You are unhappy with the appearance of your breasts

Your might be unhappy with the appearance of your large breasts and want them to be smaller for aesthetic purposes.
