Also known as a mammoplasty, breast reduction surgery is an operation that removes the excess weight and volume of the breasts. The breasts are then reshaped and the nipples are repositioned to form new smaller breasts.

If you feel that your breasts are overly large, are not in proportion to the rest of your body or are causing you pain & discomfort, you may want to consider breast reduction surgery.
There are many factors that can affect the size of women’s breasts, such as:

• Inherited genes
• Body weight
• Hormonal

Having breast reduction surgery has many benefits, these include:

• Reducing the size of your breast can leave you feeling more comfortable as it can help eliminate the constant pain of indentation from bra straps, skin irritation, back and neck pain and posture problems.
• Allowing more comfortable involvement in sporting activities that otherwise would be painful or awkward with large, heavy breasts
• A change in your appearance. Having large breasts that are out of proportion to your height and weight can be embarrassing and frustrating. For teenagers and young women this may be the case especially wearing swimsuits and various clothing due to unwelcome attention and the size/fitting of many high-street brands.
• Increased confidence. It may be the case you feel & look better in clothes and are pain free, boosting both your mood and confidence.

There are several different surgical designs to reshape the breasts. All of them will involve a scar around the areola of the breast. Each method uses different techniques, which result in different scars – each will have advantages and disadvantages. Your surgeon will discuss this with you in detail and, with your approval, will select the best technique for your particular case.

Each patient is unique – different expectations and as such different requirements. We don’t apply a “one size fits all” approach to cosmetic surgery, and as such the price of the surgery will depend on the exact requirements of your individual procedure. We have included an expected price range below, but really – we’d love to meet with you first to gain a better understanding of what you are looking for and what we can do to help you achieve the desired outcome.

The first step, should be to book in for a free of charge initial consultation – see the Consultant, so that you can discuss your hopes and expectations. Once the consultant has had a conversation with you, a member of our team will be in touch to provide you with a full quote. This quote will include everything – pre-op, surgery itself, post-op and aftercare.

* Default deposit amount (25%) can be varied and costs can be spread over a longer/shorter period, such that the monthly payment amounts are more suited to each individual situation.

Your surgeon will examine you and your breasts in proportion to your body to see roughly how much tissue can be removed and still give you a natural in proportion breast shape. The surgeon will discuss the various options with you and will make recommendations that are appropriate and suitable to you.

The surgeon will discuss all risks with you before the surgery, however a few to note include:

• Scaring will be noticeable on the breasts, however, how bad the scars will be vary depending on the person and by the type of incision made. After surgery, scars will be red and swollen, but typically the scars will fade over time.
• There is a small chance of losing feeling in the nipples or breasts. Often this loss of sensation is temporary; lasting only a couple of months, which will vary depending on the person.
• The ability to breastfeed can be reduced after surgery. For some women, there is still the possibility, depending on what type of reduction is carried out.
• There is a risk of unevenly positioned nipples or breasts that are not the same size or shape. This is usually due to untrained or unskilled surgeons – Pall Mall Cosmetics only use highly experienced and highly skilled surgeons

In some cases, it is possible that surgery can be the second solution to reducing the problem of having large breasts.

Alternative options may consist of:

• Weight loss – This can reduce the amount of fatty tissue around your breasts.
• Physiotherapy – Receiving recommended exercise from a physiotherapist can often help with aches and pains that are caused by large breasts.
• Psychological – Receiving support and treatment if having large breasts are causing emotional or mental health issues can be very beneficial.
• Specialised fitted bras – Most discomfort is caused by the wrong sized bras being worn. Getting a professional to fit a correctly sized bra may help reduce discomfort.

This can vary due to people healing at different rates, but for most cases, it will be around 2-6 weeks. Patients usually return to work within 2 weeks of the surgery,  however, to assure the best chance of healing, you should avoid bending over, lifting your arms over your head and any exercise until after three weeks post-op.
