Breast Reduction

A breast reduction or mammoplasty is a very popular and often transforming cosmetic surgery procedure. Overly large breasts can cause physical discomfort and also have a profound impact a woman’s self-esteem.

The Breast Reduction Procedure

Breast size is largely dictated by genetics but can also be influenced by body weight and hormonal fluctuations, causing permanent and unwelcome changes to breast size. Overly large breasts can be physically uncomfortable and often women feel very self-conscious.

A breast reduction can restore body confidence and is usually a highly satisfactory cosmetic surgery procedure. Mr Juling Ong will often combine it with a breast uplift to create the optimal breast appearance.

Surgery Time

2 – 3 hours

Anaesthetic

General

Hospital Stay

Typically an overnight stay

Time Off Work

2 weeks

Full Recovery

6 – 8 weeks

Although many women seek to increase their breast size, for women who have overly large breasts for their frame, a breast reduction can be a highly positive procedure for those that feel their breast size is affecting their quality of life.

Larger breasts can also prevent you from enjoying certain activities or finding flattering, well-fitting clothes. Some women experience significant discomfort, often suffering from neck pain or backache and skin irritation under the breasts or the bra straps.

During the breast reduction procedure, known medically as a mammaplasty, Mr Juling Ong will remove excess glandular tissue and fat to reduce the overall volume of the breast. The remaining breast tissue is reshaped into a more shapely and youthful appearance.

The nipples can be reshaped and resized as many women find their nipples have stretched as the breasts have increased in size. The nipples are also usually repositioned on the breast mound.

Mr Juling Ong will make a circular incision around the areola. A second vertical scar then runs from the bottom of the nipple to the inframammary fold which is the crease under the breast. There is usually a further horizontal incision made along the inframammary fold, the length of which depends on the size of your breasts and the results you’re hoping to achieve.

Patients typically take two weeks off work to recover. Although it’s important to rest in the first 48 hours after surgery, Mr Ong will advise you to gradually increase your activity levels as it helps to promote recovery. More strenuous activity and exercise should be avoided for four to six weeks after your surgery. Mr Juling Ong will provide comprehensive advice on your recovery process and you will have a series of follow-up appointments.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the scarring like after breast reduction surgery?

Breast reduction scarring is more extensive than with breast augmentation surgery and it is important you have a clear idea of what to expect before you decide to proceed. Breast scars will initially appear red and raised but will gradually fade to become pale and flat over the following 12 months after surgery. Mr Ong will advise you on how best to promote healing and patients are usually highly satisfied with the appearance of their smaller, more shapely breasts.

What happens to the nipples during breast reduction surgery?

The nipples are not detached during surgery; Mr Juling Ong will isolate the nipple on a segment of breast tissue, persevering its blood supply while they are repositioned on the reshaped breast. You should have normal sensation in the nipples after surgery and many patients are still able to breastfeed as the milk-producing glands aren’t affected.

How long will the results of my breast reduction last?

Results are usually long-lasting, but your breast size can still be affected by further weight fluctuations, pregnancy or hormonal changes. Gravity can also still affect the breasts and they will still be susceptible to sagging of the tissues, but this will be greatly minimised if much of the weight of the breasts has been removed.

During your breast reduction consultation, Mr Juling Ong will explain all potential risks and discuss your treatment options in full. Please call us on‬ 020 7927 6528 or email us at info@julingong.com to arrange an appointment.

I saw Dr Juling for a very complicated problem from the past with multiple corrections before.I can tell for sure now... he is one of the best surgeons I can find in London! I had few consultations with him before the surgery. Comparing to other surgeons, he is confident, high skilled, patient and a good listener. All consultations including free follow up were almost 1 hour long without any rush at all,We finally decided to do few procedures including a facelift to address my concerns and repair the face.Fast forward to the day, he made a very detailed & tailored plan. Despite it involves a standard facelift, he didn’t cut into my hairline.I was able to meet friends from day 3. Despite expected swelling, my incision is so short and neat. All my friends would want to see him now. Comparing my incision to some “famous surgeon work”, I can clearly tell how talent he is. My incision is way more short and neat. There is no tension at all at surface level.Juling has the best manner too. He never judges me but listens to my concern and works with me. Whenever I email him my concerns, he always gets back to me so quickly and provides detailed suggestions/advices. I feel incredibly lucky to find him, and I will go no one else if I need anything in future. His work is incredible, amazing and much better than some heavily advertised, highly charged surgeons. I strongly recommend you seeing him if you need anything done/fixed and want to find a kind heart, professional and super talented surgeon.read more
