BREAST REDUCTION

Breast reduction surgery (reduction mammaplasty) is designed to remove excess breast tissue, fat, and skin, achieving a breast size that is more proportionate to your body frame. For many women, overly large breasts cause chronic back, neck, and shoulder pain, skin irritation from bra straps, and restricted participation in exercise and daily activities. Beyond the physical toll, it can also affect self-perception and make finding comfortable, well-fitting clothing a challenge.

At LIFE X CLINICS, breast reduction is performed by Dr Robert George, a Specialist Soft Tissue Surgeon (MBBS MS FRACS). Dr George guides each patient through the process with care, ensuring they feel informed and supported at every stage, from the first consultation through to recovery. Depending on your circumstances, the procedure may be eligible for a Medicare or private health insurance rebate.

What breast reduction can help with:

• Relief from chronic back, neck, and shoulder pain
• Reduced skin irritation and discomfort from bra straps
• Greater ease and comfort during exercise and daily activity
• Improved proportion and balance between breast size and body frame
• Increased confidence in clothing fit and overall self-image

Your consultation:

The process begins with a thorough consultation, where your reasons for considering breast reduction are discussed alongside a full evaluation of your medical history. Dr George will explain the surgical technique, expected outcomes, and potential risks in detail, giving you the information you need to decide whether breast reduction is right for you.

The procedure:

Breast reduction is typically performed under general anaesthesia. The specific technique used depends on the amount of tissue to be removed and the desired final result, and is planned around your individual anatomy and goals. Following surgery, you'll be provided with detailed aftercare instructions to support a smooth and comfortable recovery.

A personalised approach:

For many patients, breast reduction is a life-changing procedure, offering relief from physical pain and greater freedom in daily life. Dr George's priority is ensuring the surgery is safe, effective, and tailored to your unique needs, with support from our clinical team, throughout your journey.
