Breast Reduction Surgical Technique
The art of perfect breast reduction is in the ability of the surgeon to create smaller more proportionate breasts with minimal possible scarring. Our surgeons, all members of the UK Plastic Surgery Specialist Register, have mastered a variety of different surgical techniques.
Traditional surgery is often the answer for severe cases but reduction can also be achieved by operating through the Areola or even by replacing conventional breast reduction surgery with the use of liposuction. The surgical team at 111 Harley Street have been able to reduce breasts by up to two cup sizes using this less invasive technique that leaves virtually no scarring.
Whatever your breast reduction needs, do start with a free of charge consultation, with one of our Surgeons.
The consultation is a two way process and provides the opportunity for patients to fully explore all of the options available to them. If the decision is to proceed with surgery the Surgeon will clearly explain the surgical process, the recovery times and the results that can be achieved to ensure expectations are met.
If you would like to book a consultation to discuss your breast reduction needs please call one of our patient care team on 0845 222 5 111
