After Weight Loss

Breast Reduction

Breast reduction surgery, or reduction mammaplasty, is a procedure designed to remove excess breast tissue and skin to reduce the size of large breasts. This surgery aims to alleviate physical discomfort, such as back and neck pain, and to help achieve a more proportional appearance.

About Breast Reduction

Scarring

The scar for a breast lift is typically around the areola, with a vertical incision from the bottom of the areola to the breast crease and a horizontal incision along the breast crease.

In terms of how the scars will heal and fade over time, everyone is different and the appearance will depend on skin tone, elasticity and how your skin heals.

Recovery

A breast reduction is not a minor procedure and you should understand the recovery process and the preparations in your daily life and time off from work that may be required to help you through it.

Most patients are back to light activity after 1 to 2 weeks, but full recovery may take up to 6 weeks.

Most patients report significant relief from physical discomfort immediately after surgery, with an improved silhouette.
