Breast reduction is an operation designed to address the concerns associated with large breasts or gigantomastia. Symptoms of gigantomastia include back and neck ache, bra strap shoulder grooves and a rash in the groove under the breast.
Pendulous breasts interfering with the ability to exercise is another common concern. Along with size, there is often concerns associated with the position of the breast. There are multiple different techniques available to reduce the size of the breast that result in different scars patterns, including the “Anchor scar”. The procedure attracts a medicare item number and costs can be discussed following your initial consultation or estimates only can be provided over the phone by calling our rooms.
The crux of the operation is to make the breasts smaller. The steps that this involves include-
- Removing breast tissue,
- Removing excess skin,
- Moving the nipple higher onto the breast
- Shaping the breast
- Keeping the volume in proportion with the body
It is performed under general anaesthetic in an accredited hospital setting. The inpatient stay is usually 1-2 nights.
