The benefits of breast reduction surgery?
While large breasts may be considered more appealing than small ones by some, some patients dislike having a very large bust. Large breasts can be cumbersome and can cause back pain, neck pain, bra strap grooving discomfort and emotional distress.
For patients with naturally large breasts that they feel are disproportionate, breast reduction surgery can help you achieve the pert, shapely breasts youโve always wanted.
With breast reduction surgery from Sinclair Gore, you can get breast reduction surgery that suits your needs and give you the perfect natural look. Alongside breast surgery, Sinclair Gore also offers abdominoplasty, which can be used in conjunction with breast reduction for patients that have lost significant weight and want to transform their body.

FAQ
Breast Reduction Surgery FAQs
Breast reduction surgery is usually not very painful directly following the procedure, but your breasts may feel tender and sore for some days. Sinclair Gore can recommend over-the-counter pain medication if necessary to help relieve the pain. This should subside after a few days.
There is no set breast size that is best for a breast reduction. What matters is that you want to reduce the size of your breasts and create a different appearance for yourself. Your surgeon can discuss your aesthetic preferences and find the right procedure or combination of procedures to achieve your aims. There is a spectrum of breast operations including breast reduction and mastopexy, all of which include reducing the size of the breasts and rejuvenating the shape of the breasts. These are overlapping techniques, and depending on your starting point, any bespoke plan for you may have more reduction or lift components included.
It usually takes between 2 and 6 weeks to recover fully from breast reduction surgery. Whilst most women feel they are back to all their normal activities by six weeks after surgery, scar maturation typically takes over a year. Good scar management during that time is important to ensure you get the best outcome from your surgery. Soreness and tenderness in your breasts is relatively uncommon after the first few weeks have passed.
