Size Reduction
Breast Reduction



Dr van der Poel
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon
A private cosmetic and reconstructive surgeon specialising in aesthetic procedures for the face and body.
Contact usBreast reduction surgery removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to achieve a breast size more proportionate to the body. It is commonly performed to relieve physical discomfort such as back, neck, and shoulder pain, as well as skin irritation and posture issues.
The procedure also lifts and reshapes the breasts, improving overall symmetry and contour. The nipple and areola are repositioned to a natural, youthful position while maintaining blood supply and sensation where possible.
Recovery typically involves swelling and bruising for several weeks, with final results settling over a few months. A supportive surgical bra is required during healing to optimise results and support scar formation.
