To help, we’ve compiled a list of the most frequently asked questions about breast reduction surgery. Whether you’re researching breast reduction in London or simply curious about the process, this guide is for you.

Breast reduction surgery is a procedure designed to remove excess fat, tissue and skin from the breasts. Many women opt for this to alleviate discomfort from having large, heavy breasts, which can lead to back, neck and shoulder pain.

3. Can I Choose the Exact Cup Size for my Breast Reduction?

Many patients wonder if they can select their post-surgery cup size.

The goal is to create a proportionate, balanced that aligns with your body frame and aesthetic goals.

4. What Does a Breast Reduction Procedure Involve?

Breast reduction surgery typically takes 3-4 hours, depending on the complexity of the case. During the procedure, excess breast tissue, fat, and skin are removed, and the breast is reshaped.

With proper aftercare and your surgeon’s advice, scars can become less noticeable within 6-12 months.

8. Will My Breast Sensation Change After Reduction Surgery?

It’s common to experience changes in breast or nipple sensation after surgery. These changes are permanent, but the brain is good at adapting to the new reduced sensation and with time, this becomes a ‘new normal’.
