What is a Breast Reduction?

Breast reduction is an operation to alter the size and shape of your breasts. Specifically the procedure removes fat, gland, and skin from the breasts, making them smaller, lighter, and firmer. Additionally it reduces reduce the size of the areola, the darker skin surrounding the nipple. My surgical goal is to give you smaller, better-shaped breasts in proportion with the rest of your body.

In most cases, breast reduction isn't performed until a woman's breasts are fully developed. However, it can be done during adolescence if large breasts are causing you serious physical and or emotional discomfort. It is important that you are mature enough to fully understand the procedure and have realistic expectations about your results. Importantly the 'scar less' reduction utlising liposculpture techniques may be an alternative if you are not excessively pendulous and have good skin tone.
