Breast Reduction and Breast Lift (Mastopexy)

Whilst we so often hear about women seeking Cosmetic Surgery to obtain breast implants and increase the size of their breasts, many women are choosing Cosmetic Surgery to obtain a breast reduction and or a breast lift.

For these women, their large breasts can be uncomfortable, cumbersome and painful. Other women describe how their large breasts limit their ability to exercise comfortably and without embarrassment, or how they struggle to find clothes to fit them that they like or find attractive.

Some women have always had large breasts and some women find their breasts become disproportionately large following pregnancy and breast feeding. These women require a breast reduction and lift.

Other women find that they previously had large breasts, however, following breast feeding the breasts have “deflated” and lost volume and ultimately sag due to the redundant skin. A breast lift and occasionally breast augmentation as well will help women achieve a natural and shapely breast.
