Breast Reduction Mammoplasty Before and After Photos
Women who have large breasts often experience physical discomforts such as back and neck pain, skin irritation, and limited mobility. A breast reduction mammoplasty can alleviate these discomforts by reducing the size of the breasts. It can also address cosmetic concerns associated with the current breast size.
Please take the time to look at our breast reduction mammoplasty before-and-after photos to see Dr Norris’s work.
The outcomes shown are only relevant for this patient and do not necessarily reflect the results other patients may experience. Results may vary due to many factors, including the individual’s genetics and lifestyle.
The Breast Reduction Mammoplasty Procedure
A breast reduction mammoplasty takes two to three hours to complete and is performed under general anaesthesia. After Dr Norris makes his incisions, he removes excess skin, fat, and tissue from the breasts and repositions the nipples. He then closes the incisions with sutures.
Suitable Candidates for Breast Reduction Mammoplasty
At Form and Face clinic in Sydney, the first step to determining candidacy for breast reduction mammoplasty is to consult with Dr Norris. Suitable candidates present with the following conditions:
Increased breast size that leads to physical discomfort or hinders daily activities
Shoulder indentations from bra straps due to breast weight
Persistent irritation in the breast crease area
Noticeable asymmetry with one breast larger than the other
Good overall health
Realistic expectations
What to Expect After a Breast Reduction Mammoplasty
Dr Norris will apply dressings to your incisions following the surgery. A small, thin tube may also be placed under the skin to drain excess blood or fluid. You will also need to wear a compression garment to help support your breasts as they heal.
You will need to take some time off work to rest following a breast reduction mammoplasty. However, most patients can return to all normal activities, except for strenuous exercise, within two weeks.
