Breast Reduction Tunbridge Wells, Kent

THE PROCEDURE

A breast reduction is an excellent procedure to address both the functional and aesthetic concerns you may have about being large (and heavy) breasted. It combines a volume reduction with a breast lift, leaving scars around the areola, down towards the breast crease, with an additional scar in the breast crease sometimes needed.

WHAT DOES IT INVOLVE?

Surgery to reduce breasts takes place in hospital with you asleep. When you wake up, you will normally be wearing your post-surgical bra, with special surgical tapes on the wounds.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?

The benefits of a breast reduction are not only aesthetic, but also functional, due to the reduction in weight and strain on the neck, back and shoulders. At the same time, a breast lift is provided achieving better breast aesthetics and proportions.

Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty Surgery Procedure

Surgery to lift the upper eyelids (upper blepharoplasty) is one of the most popular local anaesthetic plastic surgery procedures. It has a quick recovery and the results are very natural, giving a refreshed and brighter appearance to the face. Upper blepharoplasty can be performed as a procedure on its own, but is frequently combined with other procedures, such as surgery to the brow, facelifts, or other plastic surgery operations.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does surgery take?

Depending upon the size of the breast reduction, and the amount of breast lifting that is being incorporated, the surgery takes between 2 and 3 hours

What is the recovery period?

For a breast reduction, it takes 2-3 weeks to recover, but no exercise is recommended for 6 weeks after surgery. Most people are able to return to light duties at work at 2-weeks, but if you can take longer off work, it is helpful.

How long before daily activities may be resumed?

Emphatic activity should be cast aside for at least 2-weeks. You may be capable to drive after this period, but remember that you need to be relaxed in performing an emergency stop or similar maneuver. If you drive too initial and you need to do an emergency stop, the injuries may come apart from pressure of the seatbelt.

What are the possible complications?

he risks and complications for breast reduction include:

Delayed wound healing and possible wound infection
Development of a post-operative collection of blood in the wound – this might require draining in the operating theatre
As the nipples are being repositioned and the breast is being tightened, there is a small risk that the nipple can undergo necrosis (die), but fortunately this is rare.
Other issues with nipples can include numbness and shape changes. There will inevitably be a degree of differences between your breasts – some breast asymmetry is normal
All operations carry a risk of blood clots occurring the in legs (DVTs) that can migrate to the lungs (PEs) which, whilst rare, are serious.
Revision surgery might be needed to make any adjustments in your result
