Breast Reduction

Breast reduction surgery is a procedure commonly performed for women who suffer from the symptoms associated with large breasts, which include back pain, neck pain, & shoulder indentation from bra straps. This surgery reduces breast size and helps eliminate the symptoms of large breasts.

What's Involved

The procedure involves an overnight stay in hospital. Recovery is typically 2 weeks.

Breast Lift (Mastopexy)

A mastopexy or breast lift, is a procedure designed to address breast ptosis (sagging) by lifting and reshaping the breast(s). This often occurs as a result of pregnancy, breast-feeding, or from significant weight loss. It is normal and natural stage after these events. The skin can become stretched and the volume of the breast reduced.

What's Involved

A breast lift, is a day case procedure under general anaesthetic. Excess breast skin is removed, and the breast is re-shaped.

A bra must be worn post-surgery for 6 weeks. Recovery from the operation and return to work is typically 2 weeks

Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation, or breast enlargement is usually performed for patients who have small breasts, significant breast asymmetry, have lost breast volume after weight loss, or would like to be bigger breasted.

We use silicone breast implants which are of the highest quality. The implants are placed either under the muscle, above the muscle or a combination of both (dual plane). This is determined during the consultation between the surgeon and patient.

What's Involved

The procedure is performed as a day case under general anaesthetic.

Recovery time is typically 1-2 weeks. Patients can return to work within the same period of time. Avoiding any heavy lifting or intense exercise is recommended for 6 weeks following surgery

Nipple Inversion

Inverted nipples or hidden nipples, is a developmental condition. It is caused by either underdevelopment of the nipple, or often by tight bands that pull the nipple down into the breast. This operation corrects the inversion, and can restore projection of the nipple, through a small incision under the nipple.

What's Involved

It is performed as a day case procedure.
