Introduction

Although there are many women looking to make their breasts larger, there are an equal number of women looking to have their breasts reduced as the extra weight can be a burden physically or they are just simply uncomfortable having such large breasts. During a breast reduction operation excess skin and breast tissue is removed and the remaining breast tissue is used to form the shape of the breast.

Reduction Mamoplasty (Breast Reduction)

Mamoplasty reduction (also called breast reduction)) is a surgical procedure which decreases the size of the breasts, by removing, breast tissue, skin and fat thereby making them smaller, lighter and firmer. This type of procedure is aimed at women with large breasts who experience problems due to the excess weight, such as skin irritation under the breasts, breathing problems and back and neck pain.

Post-op care

• • Make sure that you take all of the mediicine prescribed by your surgeon.
• • A corset should be worn for the first month after the procedure but in some cases the surgeon may suggest that you can wear a sports bra after the first week.
• • After this time period, you may discontinue wearing the corset and wear a bra that has no wire supports.
• • It is normal to have bruising or for the wound to seep after the operation. It is nothing you should be concerned about. However, If the fluid seeping through is a yellowish brown colour and smells, please contact your patient coordinator immediately.
• • Your first post-op shower: you may shower 10 days after the operation has taken place. Be sure to remove any bandages and avoid using shower gel whilst showering, instead use a natural soap. You should not shower for too long and the water ideally should be tepid (neither hot nor cold). As soon as you have finished taking a shower, you should dry the wound with a dry clean towel and then cover it with a guaze and padding before putting your bra back on..
• • Your second post-op shower: You may take your second shower 2 days after the first. You should not pick at the stitches or attempt to remove them. İn time they will disintergrate by themselves.
• • You can go for a light walk 1 week after the operation.
• • Do not reach up with your arms, carry and pick up heavy loads or drive for the first 2 weeks post-op.
• • You may commence light activities such as walking and dancing after the first 2 weeks post-op.
• • Light sports can be commenced 4-6 weeks after the procedure.

As there are medical and physical limitations as to how much fat can be safely removed, the procedure may not be suitable for those who are overweight. The procedure itself is best suited for body sculpting as opposed to weight loss.

People who get breast reduction with us often have some of the following procedures done too:

Arm lift (Brachioplasty)

The excess fat and skin under the arm can be one of the most difficult things to shift even after months of dieting. In such circumstances, an arm lift can be used to address this issue. By tightening the underlying supportive tissues and removing excess fat and skin our surgeons will be able to define the shape of your upper arm giving it a thinner and more aesthetic look.

Tummy tuck (Abdominoplasty)

Some of us are left with an excess of skin around our tummy area after losing a lot of weight or giving birth. As this skin cannot be lost through exercise or diet alone, a ‘tummy tuck’ can be used to surgically remove the excess skin to give your tummy a thinner more defined look. It is important to remember that a tummy tuck is not a weight loss procedure and may not be a suitable procedure for everyone.

Nose Job (Rhinoplasty)

Anyone who is unhappy with the way his or her nose looks or have some type of breathing problem may consider having a type of rhinoplasty procedure. The type of rhinoplasty you need will be decided by one of our surgeons. Sometimes, it is necessary to make an external incision in the fleshy part between your nostrils (Open Rhinoplasty) and occassionally from inside (Closed Rhinoplasty). There are also times when the bones and cartilage need to be operated on internally for both cosmetic and health reasons and often by straightening the septum (Septorhinoplasty). And finally anyone who has had a nose job are only suitable for Secondary Rhinoplasty.

Liposuction

As we age, lose weight or after we give birth, we may find certain pockets of fat are harder to remove than others through exercise and diet alone. Liposuction can help remove this fat by extracting it with a very strong vacuum. Outside of traditional liposuction, we also provide vaser liposuction which uses ultrasonic waves first to breakdown fat cells before extracting them. This often leads to less damage being done to the remaining tissue and thus enabling a quicker recovery time. Liposuction is a procedure which can be performed on all body parts.

Crowns

Crowns, which are also sometimes called caps, are carefully fitted sleeves that sit over an existing tooth in order to protect it from further damage or to improve your smile. Often applied as part of a root canal treatment, they can also hold together teeth that are cracked and support bridges. Not only this, they can also be used to cover and improve the look of teeth that have become discolored.

Vaginoplasty

Vaginoplasty can take on many different forms surgically and the type of procedure you recieve really depends on your goals or medical needs and may include the reconstruction or recreation of the vaginia using a multitude of techniques. Vaginoplasty is often sought after by those who are seeking to address defects caused by birth or trauma in order to improve sexual function as well as by those who need vaginal reconstruction after undergoing radiation therapy for cancer and other conditions. Vaginoplasty is also used to help address congenital abnormailities which may have affected the development of the vagina.

Labiaplasty

Labiaplasty - also known as labial reduction - is a form of plastic surgery that seeks to alter either the labia minora (the inner labia) or Labia majora (the outher labia) both of which are folds of skin surrounding the vulva. The procedure itself involves the shortening and reshaping of the labia by surgically removing unwanted tissue. This type of procedure is common among those who have congenital defects or experience discomfort during intercourse or simply for those who are unhappy with the physical appearance of having larger labia.
