 As a Specialist Plastic Surgeon and Fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons, we focus on delivering results that reflect your goals and physical needs. Read on to explore the procedure, benefits and what to expect.

Why Choose Breast Reduction?

Breast reduction in Sydney is a surgical procedure that removes excess breast tissue, skin and fat to achieve a breast size that is more in proportion with your body. Many patients seek this surgery due to chronic back or neck pain, skin irritation or restricted physical activity. Others want to feel more comfortable in their clothing or their posture. Whatever your reason, we help you make an informed decision.

What the Procedure Involves

Breast reduction surgery is performed under general anaesthesia. It involves reshaping and lifting the breasts by removing excess tissue and repositioning the nipples to achieve functional and aesthetic goals and a proportionate look. The procedure typically takes 3 hours and most patients return home the same day or after an overnight stay. Detailed recovery instructions support your comfort and healing in the weeks that follow.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

Ideal candidates include individuals experiencing physical or psychosocial discomfort due to large breasts and/or breast asymmetry. You should be in good health, a non-smoker and have realistic expectations about the outcome. During your consultation, we assess your condition and goals before planning any surgical approach.

Surgical Revisions After Breast Augmentation

Some patients seek surgical revision following previous breast augmentation to address issues such as implant malposition, capsular contracture, or volume changes over time. Others may present with breast asymmetry or ptosis, where procedures like augmentation mastopexy may be considered. Each case is assessed individually to determine the most appropriate surgical approach based on clinical indications, medical history, and treatment goals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Am I a good candidate for abdominoplasty surgery?
The best candidates for abdominoplasty surgery patients are those who are fit, have already achieved any weight loss goals. Abdominoplasty surgery is not a substitute for diet and exercise and can be associated with increased risks in patients who are overweight or obese. Women who are planning future pregnancies should also delay abdominoplasty surgery.
How much does breast reconstruction surgery cost?
The cost for breast reconstruction is determined by the extent and complexity of the procedure, as well as surgeon costs, anaesthetist fees, hospital fees, and post-operative recovery costs. Because of its reconstructive nature, a portion of the procedure costs may be covered by Medicare or your private health insurer, but you will need to check what criteria you must meet to be eligible.
What is recovery from breast revision like?
Recovery from breast revision surgery will be similar to the recovery experienced following the initial implant procedure. It is recommended that you minimise strenuous activity and exercise after surgery. You should also avoid wearing underwire bras to facilitate proper healing of the underlying breast tissue.
