Breast Reduction
Have breasts that fit your life. A breast reduction at Re. Plastic Surgery will re-proportion your breasts, making them smaller, lighter, firmer, higher.
Is breast reduction surgery 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 have very uneven breast sizes. Asymmetry and uneven size are corrected as part of a breast reduction.
INCREASED Confidence
Large breasts cause problems buying clothes and clothes. A breast reduction can mean you can wear what you want.
Plastic Surgery Payment Plans
For patients that are good candidates for surgery and want flexibility in funding their surgery, financing a breast or body procedure is now an option.
What is involved?
1 hour
A Private Consultation With Your Surgeon
Your initial consultation will take about an hour and will be with your surgeon. This gives you and your surgeon the time to help you make the right decision for you, based on your body type, your lifestyle, and your expectations.
1-2 weeks
Book And Prepare For Surgery
When you’re ready we book in your procedure. At Re. we believe the preparation for the surgery, and the care you receive after the surgery is as important as the procedure itself. It’s why we developed a special whole-of-journey program called Re.Care.
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 post-surgical bra to support your new breast shape. Most women 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 ok to shower and get your dressings wet and you can sleep in any position that is comfortable.
By week 2 You can begin to ease back into light physical activities. Most women are able to comfortably start driving
6-8 weeks
Your Recovery Journey
You would 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. You may not even have to wear a bra if you don’t want to.
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 who haven’t had a breast reduction have difficulty breast feeding, so it is hard to know for sure what the real percentages are. It is also important to know that there is a small chance of losing sensation to the nipple, or even losing 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 excellent. We 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 if 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.
