Breast Reduction

Breast reduction is a surgical procedure designed to reduce the size of breasts, providing relief from physical discomfort and improving quality of life. Deciding to undergo breast reduction is a significant decision. Dr George will guide you through the process, ensuring you feel informed and supported every step of the way. The procedure may be rebatable from medicare and insurance.

Overly large breasts can cause a range of physical and emotional issues. They can lead to chronic back, neck, and shoulder pain, as well as skin irritation from bra straps and restricted physical activity. Beyond the physical discomfort, large breasts can also affect self-perception and make it challenging to find clothing that fits comfortably.

The goal of breast reduction surgery is to remove excess breast tissue in order to achieve a breast size that is proportional to your body. This not only relieves physical discomfort but also helps you feel more confident and comfortable in your own skin. The surgery is tailored to your specific needs, with an emphasis on achieving a balanced and aesthetically pleasing result.

The process begins with a thorough consultation, where your reasons for considering breast reduction are discussed and your medical history evaluated. During this consultation, the procedure is explained in detail, including the surgical technique, expected outcomes, and potential risks. This conversation is crucial in helping you make an informed decision about whether breast reduction is right for you.

If you decide to proceed with breast reduction, Dr George will guide you through the preparation and what to expect on the day of surgery. The surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia, and the specific technique used depends on the amount of tissue to be removed and the desired final appearance. After the procedure, you can expect some recovery time, during which I’ll provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth healing process.

Breast reduction is a life-changing procedure for many people, offering relief from physical pain and increased freedom in daily activities. Dr George’s role is to ensure that surgery is safe, effective, and tailored to your unique needs.
