Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery

Bigger is not always better for breasts, as large breasts can cause physical symptoms such as back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain and postural problems. If breasts are oversized and bring inconvenience, a breast reduction surgery can be considered. The purpose of the surgery is to restore the breast to more normal size by removing excessive breast tissue and skin. The surgery is usually done under general anaesthesia in three to four hours. Patients will need to stay in the hospital for two to three days, and will be able to return to work in one to two weeks.
