Your Personalized Consultation
A breast reduction journey begins with a comprehensive consultation at SPRSI. During this visit, the surgical team reviews medical history, evaluates anatomy, and discusses goals in detail. Patients receive honest, realistic guidance regarding outcomes, incision placement, scarring, and recovery timelines.
This collaborative process allows the breast reduction surgeon and care team to create a surgical plan tailored to individual needs. Preoperative counselling also includes guidance on nutrition, activity level, and preparation to support smooth healing.
The Breast Reduction Procedure
Breast reduction surgery uses carefully selected techniques based on breast size, degree of reduction, and desired contour. Excess tissue and skin are removed, and the nipple and areola are repositioned to create a natural, balanced appearance. Every surgical plan prioritizes symmetry, proportion, and long-term comfort.
The procedure is performed with a strong focus on patient safety, precision, and minimizing disruption to surrounding tissue.
