What is Breast Reduction

Breast reduction removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to achieve a smaller, lighter, and uplifted breast. It alleviates physical symptoms such as back, neck, and shoulder pain while improving breast shape and proportion.

Takes 2–3.5 hours. Most patients stay one night in hospital.

Results are Lighter, proportionate breasts with relief from physical symptoms. Scars fade over 12–18 months.
