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.

Whether due to pregnancy, weight loss, or ageing, abdominoplasty is a powerful surgical option to remove excess skin and tighten the abdominal area. But there’s one critical factor that can influence your results—weight stability.

Why weight matters . . .
Abdominoplasty outcomes are most successful when your weight is stable before and after the procedure. Significant weight gain post-surgery can stretch the newly tightened skin and abdominal wall, potentially undoing some of the benefits. On the other hand, dramatic weight loss can lead to new skin laxity, reducing the firmness and contour that abdominoplasty was meant to achieve.

Abdominoplasty isn`t just about what happens in the operating room. They’re about long-term lifestyle alignment. Maintaining a consistent, healthy weight is essential for preserving your surgical results and overall body contour.

All surgery carries risks and requires a recovery period and post-operative care regime including wearing of surgical garments. More information is available from the relevant procedure page on our website.

Fasting means not eating or drinking (including water) for a set period before surgery, usually 6–8 hours. This prevents food or liquid from entering your lungs while you`re under anaesthesia, which can be dangerous. Chewing gum is also not allowed, as it increases saliva and stomach acid.

Did you know that Facial Feminisation Surgery is more than just surface-level changes?

It starts with one`s bone structure. The shape and density of one`s facial bones play a crucial role in determining the techniques used to achieve a softer, more traditionally feminine appearance.

These key factors are considered in surgical planning:
◽ Frontal Bone Shape
◽ Jaw and Chin Structure
◽ Cheekbone Contours
◽ Mandibular Angle
◽ Nasal Structure

Every face is unique, and so is every Facial Feminisation Surgery procedure. Want to learn more about the key factors and Facial Feminisation Surgery in-detail?
