Breast Reduction
Breast reduction surgery is a safe and common type of cosmetic surgery. Women often opt for breast reduction surgery when they feel unhappy with the shape or weight of their breasts. Large breasts can cause backache, shoulder pain, neck pain, skin irritations, and even low self-esteem. They can limit physical activity and uncomfortably press into bra straps.
The general ambition of breast reduction surgery is to make the breasts smaller and more lifted. The technical term for breast reduction surgery is a 'reduction mammoplasty'. Breast surgery can help to:Balance a difference in breast size.
Make the breasts look more aesthetically pleasing.
Solve the pains and problems associated with large breasts.
What to expect from our consultation service
Your surgeon will ask you questions about your general health, if you have a family history of breast cancer, along with any of the symptoms you may suffer from. Then they will ask you about the size and shape of your breasts, and what concerns you have and what it is you would like to change about them.
After a careful assessment, your surgeon will then determine if your circumstances are suitable for breast reduction surgery. Then they will talk to you about the type of surgery, the techniques involved, along with any likely outcomes and potential risks.
We use 3D imaging software that can provide an estimation of what your new breasts will look like after the operation. We will also provide the finalised cost of your breast reduction surgery, and set a date for the cosmetic surgery itself.
Depending on the circumstances, a second consultation may be required. This is because there is a lot of information to consider.
What to expect from breast reduction surgery
After your initial consultation, your consultant will make you aware of what to expect and what to bring along to the clinic on the day of your operation. On that day, you will meet your aesthetic surgeon team. The breast reduction procedure begins once the general anaesthetic is applied, so you will be asleep during the entire operation.
Then your Breast surgeon will:Move your nipples and areola into the new, desired position -- while the nipple is still attached to its blood supply.
Remove excess fat and excess breast tissue, and excess skin.
Begin the reconstructive process of reshaping the remaining breast tissue.
Breast reduction surgery takes up to about 3-5 hours and most clients are discharged from the clinic or hospital after 1 or 2 days. The breast tissue may remain slightly swollen for up to 3 months after the operation, but most people are fully recovered after 6 weeks.
Once the swelling subsides you will be able to see clearly the new size of your breasts and how the removal of excess tissue has changed them.
After surgery: our breast reduction aftercare plan
At GBS Clinic Ltd we offer a comprehensive aftercare promise to all of our clients. Including:
A review after the operation. This usually takes place two weeks after the operation.
Follow-up, post-operative appointments with your cosmetic surgeon at no extra cost for three months.
24/7 telephone numbers you can call if you have any general health questions with your consultant plastic surgeon.
After the operation, your surgeon will tell you what you can and should not do during the recovery period. For example, everyone post-breast reduction surgery should avoid heavy lifting for about 6 weeks.
Breast reduction surgery is not as inconvenient as it at first seems to be. For example, it usually takes place below the mammary glands. Similarly, bruising should be minimal.
Initially, there may be some pain for a few days, which can be relieved with painkillers. The scarring from the operation will fade with time. It usually takes about 6 weeks for them to fade completely, but they should be invisible under normal clothing, bikini tops and bras.
Potential breast reduction problems
Breast reduction surgery is a straightforward surgical process and most operations are trouble-free. However, no surgery is without its risks. In some cases, breast reduction surgery can result in scars, unevenly shaped breasts or nipples, a loss of nipple sensation, and in rare cases excessive bleeding, infection and blood clots.
It is important to note that we have an emergency 24/7 telephone line for our customers who have concerns. We also offer free post-operative consultations and appointments for up to three months after the cosmetic surgery.

Are you interested in enlarging your breasts? Would you like a breast lift or do you suffer from large breasts and think a breast reduction would help to ease daily aches and pains?
Breast Uplift (Mastopexy)
During a breast uplift, the breasts are lifted and shaped to make them look perkier. You can achieve a number of results with a breast uplift, the breasts often look fuller, firmer and younger.
This is a popular procedure following a pregnancy, particularly where a baby has been breast fed. It's quite common for women to have this type of breast surgery when their breasts are drooping, sagging or affected by the force of gravity, typically caused by age. Having a breast uplift rectifies this problem and it's a common procedure carried out by us here at GBS Clinic Ltd. This procedure can be done with or without breast implants insertion to achieve fullness in the upper breast. We have developed a long experience in this type of surgery particularly in patient who lost weight intentionally after diet or weight loss surgery.
Fat Transfer Treatment
Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation is another highly effective treatment we provide here at GBS Clinic Ltd. This process involves the use of liposuction to remove fats from problem parts of the body which are then injected into your breasts.
A good alternative to implants, this is a useful breast augmentation process for women that want to achieve natural looking results, whilst gradually increasing their breast size. You can also transfer fat to the buttock regions to enhance the shape, appearance and volume of your posterior if required.
