A breast reduction procedure will reduce the size of your breasts and give them a lift. You may be considering surgery for the following reasons:
- To remove excess breast tissue
- To give the breast a more attractive shape
- To address the neck and shoulder pain caused by overly heavy breasts
- To create symmetry when the breasts are different sizes or shapes
- To reconstruct the breasts after surgery or trauma

All our patients will meet their surgeon for a lengthy assessment and consultation. After discussing your reason for wanting surgery and your expectations, your surgeon will explain how they can help. It is important that you fully understand the surgery, the risks and the recovery period.
You will have a further consultation which will give you the chance to ask any questions before committing to surgery. When you are completely satisfied and confident about the procedure your surgery date will be scheduled.
