Benefits of breast reduction
The decision to undertake a breast reduction procedure is extremely personal. Everything about breast reduction surgery and any concerns you have can be discussed during your initial consultation. Breast reduction recipients experience improved quality of life, satisfaction, and physical well-being. Results can include:
- Reduced breast size
- Firmer breasts
- A higher and more youthful breast position
- Diminished pain or discomfort
- Better fitting into clothing and intimate-wear
- Restored self-confidence
Find out if you are a candidate for a breast reduction
Breast reduction surgery is a good option as a restorative procedure for maturing women or for women who are no longer breastfeeding. Candidates for this procedure include women who are healthy enough to tolerate invasive surgical techniques. The most common reasons to seek breast reduction surgery include:
Pain and Skin Irritation
Women with overly large and heavy breasts can experience problems such as neck pain, shoulder pain, and back pain caused by stress on the musculoskeletal system. Some women also experience skin irritation or painful chafing.
Daily Attire and Intimate Clothing
Large breasts can pose problems with fitting into clothing or intimate attire. In particular, some bras can cause pain caused by uncomfortable underwire or straps.
Difficulty Performing Everyday Activities
Sometimes large breasts get in the way of everyday activities such as carrying objects or participating in gym class.
Low Self-Confidence
Large breasts can develop a less firm appearance over time, with a lower position on the chest. Breast reduction surgery can restore your appearance and self-confidence.
If you have underlying conditions requiring treatment, the surgery and rebates may be covered through Medicare Australia with a referral from your treating doctor.
Things breast reduction patients need to know prior to surgery
Breast reduction surgery can remove breast volume, improve breast shape, and improve breast augmentation. However, there are certain things to know prior to undertaking plastic surgery for breast reduction. Here are 5 important considerations:
- You must meet certain requirements: For a breast reduction procedure, you will need to meet general health requirements and specific requirements related to the surgery.
- You are at least 18 years old
- You don’t use nicotine products
- You are not currently breastfeeding
- You don’t suffer from bleeding or clotting medical conditions
- You might not get the exact cup size you want
Cup sizes vary between manufacturers and bra types, so talking in terms of cup size isn’t an exact science. Your surgeon will likely explain the procedure in terms of removing grams of breast tissue, as it is more exact.
- You may lose some sensitivity
You will probably experience decreased sensation in your breasts for some time after surgery. This is normal and is due to the anaesthetic used and your body’s natural healing process. Over time, full sensation should return.
- It could impact breastfeeding
Your surgeon may need to remove some of the milk ducts and glands during the surgical procedure. If this is a concern, please be sure to bring this up with your Me Clinic  surgeon.
- Be prepared for a recovery period
For most women, it takes around 2-6 weeks to return to all regular activities after breast reduction surgery. During this time it’s recommended you rest, avoid strenuous activities and have somebody assist you with difficult tasks.

How big do your breasts need to be to get a reduction?
Breast reductions can be as little as half a cup size or up to nearly any size you desire. Speak to your Me Clinic surgeon about your exact breast surgery goals for your procedure.
Is breast reduction painful?
A breast reduction is a relatively painless procedure, although you will need to factor in some post-operative downtime while you recover. The anaesthetic will make the operation itself completely painless.
