Breast Reduction
Sick of being weighed down by heavy breasts? You can make them smaller, lighter, firmer, higher and even keep them relatively large to keep your curves.
Is A Breast Reduction Right For Me?
REDUCED VOLUME
Heavy breasts cause neck, shoulder and back pain. A breast reduction will resolve all of these symptoms.
NATURAL SHAPE
Breast reduction surgery lifts the position of your nipple and tightens your breast shape. The end result is a smaller, lighter, perkier breast.
Improved SYMMETRY
Women with large breasts commonly complain of asymmetry and uneven breast size which is why improved symmetry is a large focus of breast reductions.
INCREASED Confidence
Are your clothes often too revealing, too tight, too loose or just lose your shape completely? We want you to feel comfortable every day, no matter how that looks on you.
Plastic Surgery Payment Plans
Are you a good candidate for surgery but worried about upfront payments? Flexible financing a breast or body procedure is now an option.
What is involved?
1 hour
A Relaxed, No Obligation Consultation
Every procedure starts with a private, no commitment conversation with either Richard or Kim. We want to know your dream body and how we can help you reach them.
1-2 weeks
Book And Prepare For Surgery
When you’re ready, we’ll book in your procedure. We know this an exciting transformation so we promise to be there every step of the way, from pre-surgery consults, check ins with your surgeon all the way to post-op laser and LED appointments with our dermal therapist.
1 day
Day Of Procedure
You will wake up in the recovery bay of the hospital and your breasts will feel swollen but comfortable. You’ll be wearing your complimentary post-surgical bra to support your new breast shape and most patients will stay overnight in hospital.
1-2 Weeks
The Early Days
The first 48-72 hours are mildly uncomfortable but will be well controlled with pain medication. It is okay to shower and get your dressings wet and you can sleep in any position that’s comfortable.
By week two, you can begin to ease back into light physical activities. Most patients are able to comfortably start driving
6-8 weeks
Your Recovery Journey
Yo’ll be back to your normal daily routine and enjoying your new shape. Normal post-operative bruising and swelling should be gone, and your scars will begin to fade and diminish. You are able to fully resume normal exercise.
Who is a good candidate for breast reduction surgery?
The best candidates for breast reduction surgery are healthy people who have large breasts (the medical term is “macromastia”), and whose breasts are causing them to experience negative symptoms such as backpain or rashes beneath the breasts.
Does a breast reduction lift the breasts too? Will they be “perkier” afterwards?
Yes, a lift is part of the reduction. Your breasts will definitely be more perky afterwards and you may not even be able to go bra-free.
Will my nipples change? Will I be able to breastfeed and/or will my nipples lose feeling?
While there is some conflicting scientific research, the bottom line is that not all patients are able to breastfeed after breast reduction. The tricky thing is that a lot of women with large breasts, breast reduction or no, have difficulty breast feeding so it is hard to know for sure what the real percentages are.
It is also important to know there is a small chance of losing sensation to the nipple–or even part or all of the nipple-areola itself–as a result of breast reduction surgery. We also reduce the size (diameter) of the areola along with the breast reduction so the nipple is in proportion to the new breast size.
Does the surgery leaves scars? If so, will they go away?
All surgery leaves scars. Most scars will fade in time, about 6-12 months, but the scars will be there in some form forever. Keep in mind that not everyone makes the same kinds of scars, this is largely genetic. Some people make pale, thin scars, while others tend to make thicker scars. Breast scars are generally minimal andwe use silicone taping and laser treatments to ensure you get the best possible scars.
A breast reduction will leave a scar around the areola, (the darker skin around the nipple), one vertically (up-and-down) under the areola, and one horizontally (side-to-side) in the fold beneath the breast. These will typically be hidden by your bra after the surgery.
Are breast reductions covered by medical insurance?
Yes, although it depends on your level of insurance cover as to whether a breast reduction cost is covered. The Medicare item number is 45523, so check with your insurance company if you are covered for this item number.
