Dedicated Aftercare
Surgery is only part of the story. Recovery is just as important. Our team provides comprehensive follow-up care to ensure your healing process is smooth. From the first bandage change to the final check-up, we are with you every step of the way.
Understanding Breast Reduction (Reduction Mammaplasty)
You likely have many questions about what the surgery actually entails. In simple terms, breast reduction involves removing excess fat, tissue, and skin from the breasts.
What Happens During Surgery?
The procedure is performed under general anaesthetic. Mr Harley uses precise techniques to reshape the breast, making it smaller, lighter, and firmer. The nipple and areola are often repositioned to suit the new breast shape. While scarring is inevitable with this type of surgery, Mr Harley uses methods designed to minimise visibility over time. For more details on surgical techniques, you can explore our plastic surgery resources.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
You might be a suitable candidate if:
- You experience physical pain in your back, neck, or shoulders.
- You have skin irritation beneath your breasts.
- Your breasts restrict your physical activity.
- You feel self-conscious about the size of your breasts.
If this sounds like you, we encourage you to book a consultation to discuss your options. You can find more information about candidacy on our Harley Plastic Surgery homepage.
The Benefits of Reduction Surgery
The relief patients feel after surgery is often immediate. The weight is literally lifted off your shoulders.
Physical Benefits:
- Pain Relief: Significant reduction in back and neck strain.
- Improved Posture: It becomes easier to stand up straight without the heavy weight pulling you forward.
- Skin Health: Rashes and infections under the breast fold often disappear.
- Active Lifestyle: Running, gym workouts, and yoga become much easier and more enjoyable.
Emotional Benefits:
- Increased Confidence: Feeling better in your clothes and your skin.
- Wardrobe Freedom: Finally wearing the tops and dresses you have avoided for years.
We see these transformations every day at Oliver Harley’s practice. It is what drives us to deliver the best possible care.
What to Expect During Recovery
Recovery varies from person to person, but knowing what to expect can help you prepare.
Week 1: You will need to rest. You may feel tired and sore, and you will need to wear a support bra day and night.
Weeks 2-4: Most people return to light desk work and driving, provided they are not taking strong painkillers. Heavy lifting must still be avoided.
Week 6 onwards: You can usually return to normal exercise and more strenuous activities.
Throughout this time, if you have any worries, our team is just a phone call away. We pride ourselves on being accessible to our patients. You can read more about our patient care standards here.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will I lose sensation in my nipples?
Changes in sensation are common immediately after surgery. For most patients, this is temporary, but in some cases, it can be permanent. Mr Harley will discuss these risks with you honestly during your consultation.
Can I breastfeed after surgery?
Breast reduction can impact your ability to breastfeed, as some milk ducts may be removed or damaged. If you plan to have children in the future, please mention this during your visit.
How long do the results last?
Unless there are significant weight fluctuations or pregnancy, the results are generally permanent. Your breasts will naturally change with age, but the reduction in size is lasting.
