What is Breast reduction?
Breast reduction surgery, also known as reduction mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to reduce the size and volume of the breasts. This procedure can alleviate physical discomfort, improve body proportions, and enhance overall quality of life for women with disproportionately large breasts.
What applications is this used for?
- Physical Discomfort: Large breasts can cause back, neck, and shoulder pain, as well as skin irritation and rashes beneath the breasts.
- Posture Problems: Excess breast weight can lead to poor posture and discomfort when engaging in physical activities or exercise.
- Psychological Impact: Some women may experience emotional distress, self-consciousness, or difficulty finding clothing that fits well due to their breast size.
- Improved Quality of Life: Breast reduction surgery can improve physical comfort, mobility, and self-confidence, allowing women to lead a more active and fulfilling lifestyle.
The Procedure
- Consultation: Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation with Mr. Jeevan. During this session, you’ll discuss your goals, medical history, and any questions or concerns you may have about the procedure.
- Anesthesia: Breast reduction surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia to ensure your comfort and safety during the procedure.
- Incisions: Carefully planned incisions are made based on the desired reduction and breast shape. Common incision patterns include:
- Anchor Incision: Around the areola, vertically down to the breast crease, and along the breast crease (inverted-T or anchor incision).
- Vertical Incision: Extending from the areola to the breast crease (lollipop incision).
- Scarless Techniques: In some cases, scarless or minimal scar techniques may be used, depending on the patient’s anatomy and goals.
- Tissue Removal and Reshaping: Excess breast tissue, fat, and skin are removed to reduce breast size and create a more proportionate and aesthetically pleasing shape. The nipple and areola may also be repositioned to a higher, more natural position on the breast mound.
- Closing Incisions: Once the desired reduction and reshaping are achieved, the incisions are meticulously closed with sutures, creating minimal scarring.

Is breast Reduction right for you ?
Ideal candidates for breast reduction are in good overall health, have realistic expectations about the outcome, and are bothered by the physical and emotional effects of disproportionately large breasts. During your consultation, Mr Jeevan will assess your candidacy and help you determine if breast reduction surgery is the right option for you.
What is the recovery time ?
- Initial Recovery (1-2 Weeks): Expect some swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed medications. Most patients can resume light activities within a few days.
- Intermediate Recovery (3-6 Weeks): Gradually increase your activity level while avoiding heavy lifting and strenuous exercise. Follow your surgeon’s guidelines for wearing support garments.
- Full Recovery (6 Weeks and Beyond): Most patients fully recover within 6-8 weeks, with final results becoming more apparent as swelling subsides.
what patients say
Supportive..
Mr Jeevan is considerate and conscientious. He always makes time for his patients and goes above and beyond to make sure that they feel supported. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
Exactly what I had hoped for...
My final results are exactly what I had hoped for. I feel youthful and light again. They look lovely and the scars are barely visible and diminishing nicely. The 12 month check up aftercare has been brilliant. There’s nothing negative I can say. I’ve never had any kind of surgery before and the whole experience has been so reassuring. If you’re looking for a surgeon who gives great care and great results, look no further.
Perfect end result...
I recently had a breast augmentation with Mr Jeevan and it’s been the best decision I ever made. The end result is perfect and has give me some much needed confidence. Now let’s start with Mr Jeevan himself, he has been amazing throughout my Journey. From start to finish he really couldn’t do enough. From the very first consultation, he advised me on sizing, procedure and give me some much needed reassurance (I was a very nervous and squeamish patient). He has been very professional, approachable and accommodating
