If you’re considering breast reduction to improve your quality of life, Mr Wilson is the trusted choice for exceptional results and personalised care.

Breast reduction surgery is a highly effective procedure that is tailored to meet your unique preferences and goals, and Mr Wilson utilises advanced techniques to ensure optimal results. By reducing the size and reshaping the breasts, this surgery enhances comfort, improves posture, and restores a balanced, proportionate figure. The procedure is performed under general anaesthesia and typically takes 3-4 hours to complete.

Anchor incision is a common technique that involves incisions around the areola, vertically down to the breast crease, and along the inframammary fold. It’s ideal for significant reductions and reshaping. A vertical incision technique may be used for moderate reductions and involves incisions around the areola and vertically down to the breast crease. In some cases, a liposuction-assisted reduction may be performed, which is suited to those whose large breasts are contributed to by excess fat. This technique is less invasive and involves small incisions and less scarring.

During the procedure, Mr Wilson carefully removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin, reshaping the breasts for a more proportional size and position. The nipples and areolas are repositioned for a natural appearance, and adjustments can be made to reduce areola size if necessary. Mr Wilson prioritises symmetry and harmony, ensuring the results suit your unique body shape.

Each breast reduction procedure is customised to meet your individual needs and concerns. Mr Paul Wilson takes time during the consultation to understand your motivations for surgery, health history, and anatomy. Factors such as breast size, skin elasticity, and lifestyle play a crucial role in shaping the surgical plan. This personalised approach ensures that results are both functional and aesthetically pleasing, allowing you to feel more confident in your appearance

Post-Operative Recovery

You may experience swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort immediately after surgery, which can be managed with pain relieving medication. You will need to wear a surgical bra or compression garment to help reduce swelling and support healing. In the 1-2 weeks that follow, swelling will start to ease. You may find you can return to work at this point (job dependent), and resume light activities, avoiding heavy lifting and strenuous exercise. You will have your first follow-up appointment at 1 week, with further appointments arranged at 6 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months after surgery. Most patients can resume moderate physical activities and enjoy noticeable improvements in breast size, shape, and posture at the 4-6 week mark. This is also the time when you can expect incisions to start to heal. At 3-6 months post-surgery, the final results start to become apparent as swelling fully resolves and breasts settle into their new shape. At this stage, you should be more comfortable, have better mobility, and feel a significant boost in self-confidence. From here on, scars will continue to fade and improve.

FAQ

Breast reduction surgery is generally safe when performed by a qualified, experienced plastic surgeon like Mr Paul Wilson.

However, Mr Wilson uses contemporary techniques and meticulous care to minimise these risks. The surgery is performed in state-of-the-art facilities under general anaesthesia, ensuring the highest standards of safety and care. Patients are given thorough pre- and post-operative instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.

The results of breast reduction surgery are long-lasting but are not immune to natural changes. The procedure significantly reduces the size and shape of the breasts, providing immediate and lasting relief from physical discomfort. However, factors such as ageing, weight fluctuations, pregnancy, and hormonal changes can alter breast size and shape over time. Maintaining a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle helps preserve the results. Mr Wilson ensures patients understand what to expect and provides guidance on maintaining their new, proportionate breast size for years to come.

After breast reduction, patients are advised to wear a supportive surgical bra to minimise swelling and promote healing. Mr Wilson recommends avoiding strenuous activities, heavy lifting, and sleeping on your stomach for around 4-6 weeks. Pain or discomfort can be managed using pain relieving medication. Regular follow-up appointments allow Mr Wilson to monitor healing and address any concerns, Scar care is also discussed, including the use of silicone ointment to improve their appearance over time. Following these guidelines ensures a smooth recovery and optimal results.

Patients can typically resume driving around 1-2 weeks after breast reduction surgery, depending on their comfort and recovery progress. It’s important to have full mobility and are pain free before driving.  Additionally, you must have stopped taking any prescribed pain medication, as they can affect reaction times. Mr Paul Wilson evaluates each patient’s recovery during follow-ups and provides personalised recommendations regarding when it’s safe to drive again. Prioritising rest and recovery help ensure a quicker return to normal activities, including driving.

Breast reduction surgery is treated as an in-patient procedure, with one overnight stay. The surgery typically lasts 3-4 hours, followed by a short observation period in the recovery room. You will need someone to drive you home and provide assistance for the first 24-48 hours. In some cases, such as for patients with certain medical conditions, an extended observation is required for additional monitoring. Mr Wilson ensures each patient’s care plan is tailored to their specific needs, providing a safe and comfortable recovery period.
