Breast Augmentation & Breast Reduction
Breast size and shape can affect comfort, confidence, and overall body proportion. Breast augmentation and breast reduction surgery are cosmetic and reconstructive procedures designed to address different breast-related concerns based on individual needs and expectations.
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation is performed to increase breast volume, improve symmetry, or restore fullness that may change after pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight fluctuations, or ageing. Depending on the individual’s anatomy and goals, a surgeon may discuss suitable breast implants and surgical techniques during consultation.
Breast Reduction
Breast reduction surgery removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to reduce breast size and improve proportion. Women with very large breasts may experience back pain, neck pain, shoulder discomfort, skin irritation, or difficulty during physical activities. Reduction surgery may help address these concerns while creating a more balanced breast contour.
What to Expect
Before surgery, the surgeon evaluates your medical history, breast anatomy, expectations, and overall health. The procedure, anaesthesia, potential risks, recovery time, and expected changes should be discussed thoroughly before making a decision.
Recovery and Aftercare
Recovery varies depending on the procedure and individual healing. Patients may experience swelling, bruising, tenderness, and temporary changes in sensation. Following postoperative instructions, attending follow-up appointments, and avoiding strenuous activities during the recommended recovery period can support healing.
