Breast Reduction
Breast Reduction Surgery
At Bollin Clinic, we understand that overly large breasts can lead to physical discomfort, emotional distress, and difficulty with everyday activities. Our expert surgical team offers safe, tailored breast reduction procedures to help you feel more comfortable, confident, and in control of your body.
Who is Breast Reduction For?
You may be a good candidate for breast reduction surgery if you:
- Suffer from back, neck, or shoulder pain due to breast size
- Experience skin irritation or indentations from bra straps
- Feel self-conscious about your breast size
- Struggle with exercise or physical activity
- Have difficulty finding well-fitting clothing or bras
- Breast reduction isn’t just cosmetic, it can significantly improve your quality of life, confidence, and health.
Process of Breast Reduction Surgery
-
1. Initial Consultation
Meet with one of our specialist consultants to discuss your goals, medical history, and any concerns. We'll take measurements and talk through your ideal breast size and shape.
-
2. Pre-Operative Assessment
Once we confirm you're a suitable candidate, we’ll arrange medical assessments with one of our surgeons and guide you through every step to prepare for your surgery.
-
3. The Procedure
The operation is usually performed under general anesthetic and takes 2–3 hours. Excess breast tissue, fat, and skin are removed, and the breasts are reshaped and lifted. We priorities a natural, balanced result with minimal scarring.
-
4. Recovery & Aftercare
Patients typically stay one night in our clinic. Recovery time varies, but most return to work and light activity within 2–3 weeks. We provide full aftercare support, including follow-up appointments and scar management.

Frequently asked questions
Will there be visible scarring?
Yes, there will be some scarring, but we use modern techniques to minimise visibility. Scars typically fade significantly over time and are placed to be hidden by most clothing and bras.
Will I lose nipple sensation?
Some temporary or permanent changes in nipple sensation are possible. Your surgeon will discuss this with you based on your anatomy and surgical plan.
Can I breastfeed after the surgery?
Breastfeeding might be affected, depending on the technique used. We will discuss this in detail during your consultation if you plan to have children in the future.
