Breast surgery is far and away the most popular form of cosmetic surgery in the world.
To many people, that means breast enlargement (also known as breast augmentation) – but it doesn’t have to. ‘Enhancement’ is defined in the dictionary as any form of improvement, and for some ladies, breast reduction can be the improvement that they’re seeking, and there are lots of reasons why.
Over-large breasts can be a real problem to women – apart from being uncomfortable, large breasts can lead to constant physical problems.
Women can suffer from back, neck and shoulder pain; they can develop a rash known as intertrigo, caused by sweating around the breasts and even normal everyday activities can become extremely uncomfortable.
Then there are the psychological issues caused by having exactly the same feelings of being ‘different’ to other women – not wanting to take part in sport or exercise (which can lead to health problems all by itself), that you’re unattractive and, yes, the unwanted attentions of unpleasantly coarse men.
Like all procedures, it’s not something to be considered lightly. First, if you’re overweight, shedding some pounds in general will help to reduce your breast size, so you may not need the surgery. But if you’re going ahead, we advise you take at least two weeks off work to recover, and you’ll need to attend your post-surgery review appointments.
However, once it’s been done, breast reduction can help to make a real difference to women’s lives.
One lady who had the procedure said “I was delighted to have normal breasts again! I feel great about myself and it’s made a massive difference to my life. I can go to the gym, finding clothes is so much easier and my confidence has soared.”
Breast reduction is now very popular,and it’s growing steadily in popularity, too as more women become aware of the benefits of the procedure. Prices are less than you may think too – from under £5,000. You may see even lower prices abroad, but choose carefully and don’t risk poor aftercare. A safer option is a respected provider such as Why Go Abroad, where surgery is available in top UK hospitals, with a considerable saving on the usual prices!
I had implants a year ago and was very pleased with the results I had always had a 34C cup before having my children (two) and it was advised that rather than have any (anchor) scars that a larger implant would be better. I am now a 32E and a size 8 as I always have been, but I feel they have ‘dropped’ and seem a bit far apart. Can you suggest my options?
Kind regards

It may be that an uplift is required to achieve your desired results, but we’d recommend a surgeon to assess your physiology and requirements in person and provide advice. There’s no obligation, so it’s worth spending some time with an expert to get advice.
