Ideal candidates have physical symptoms (neck/back/shoulder pain, rashes, bra-strap grooves), stable weight, and realistic goals. A consultation confirms suitability and medical history considerations.
Most reductions require a vertical (“lollipop”) or inverted-T/anchor pattern for safe tissue removal and reshaping. We plan for discretion and provide a scar-care programme once healed.
Many desk workers return in 10–14 days. A support bra is worn for ~6 weeks. Expect swelling and tightness initially; avoid heavy lifting and chest strain for about 6 weeks or as advised.
General: bleeding, infection, anaesthetic risks, scars, wound-healing issues. Specific: asymmetry, changes in nipple/areola sensation or position, fat necrosis, delayed healing at T-junctions, need for revision. We discuss these in consent and monitor closely.
Coverage varies and typically depends on clinical indications and scheme rules. We can provide medical reports and photographs where appropriate, but authorisation is determined by your medical aid.
