## What does it involve?

Dissatisfaction with large breasts is not always aesthetic: many patients seek relief from physical symptoms such as pain and fatigue caused by excessive weight. Breast reduction solves these problems and improves size and shape.

The procedure removes skin and gland, and repositions the areola and nipple in the appropriate place, giving the breast a new, reduced form in proportion to the rest of the body. Clothes fit better and moving becomes more comfortable.

It can be performed on younger patients when breast size is intolerable or limits their activities.

## What it corrects

- Back, neck and shoulder pain from excessive weight
- Bra-strap grooves and difficulty exercising
- Breasts out of proportion with the rest of the body
- Excess skin and gland with breast drooping
- Difficulty finding clothes and bras that fit

## Is it for you?

- **Real symptoms**: The weight of your breasts limits your daily life, not just your appearance.
- **Stable weight**: Your weight is stable and there are no short-term pregnancy plans.
- **Committed to aftercare**: You can follow drain, bra and post-operative follow-up instructions.

Private assessment required · Pre-operative work-up and anaemia control required

## FAQ

### Will I be able to breastfeed afterwards?

Breastfeeding ability can be affected by surgery. If you plan pregnancy or breastfeeding, it is better to postpone the procedure and discuss it during assessment.

### When can I return to work?

Between 10 and 21 days, depending on the technique and your type of work. No lifting, bending or stretching for 4 to 6 weeks.

### Is the result immediate?

Proportion improves immediately, but the final result is visible once swelling settles, around the third month.
