What Is Breast Reduction Surgery?

Breast reduction, or reduction mammaplasty, is a surgical procedure that aims to reduce breast size and reshape them. It may help individuals experiencing physical discomfort or other concerns related to larger breasts, including:

  • Neck, back, and shoulder pain
  • Skin irritation beneath the breasts
  • Limitations in physical activities
  • Challenges with clothing fit

At Pure Aesthetics, our experienced breast reduction surgeons in Sydney utilise techniques such as “short-scar” or “lollipop” methods. These approaches aim to reduce visible scarring where possible, while focusing on reshaping the breasts in a manner tailored to the individual.

What to Expect During the Procedure

Breast reduction surgery at Pure Aesthetics involves:

How long do Breast Implants last?

Breast augmentation is a significant decision, and understanding the longevity of implants is key. While breast implants aren’t lifetime devices, many can last 10 to 15 years without issues.

However, individual experiences may vary based on following factors:
◽ Implant Type – Silicone vs. saline implants have different durability.
◽ Capsular Contracture – Scar tissue formation may require intervention.
◽ Lifestyle Choices – High-impact activities & weight fluctuations can impact results.
◽ Routine Monitoring – Regular check-ups ensure implants remain in good condition.
