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:
- Removal of excess breast tissue and fat
- Reshaping and lifting the breasts as part of the surgical approach to address individual concerns.
- Repositioning the nipples to a more proportionate position
Our surgeons will recommend the most suitable technique based on your anatomy and goals, whether it’s the “anchor scar” method for larger reductions or the “short-scar” approach for minimal scarring.
The procedure is performed under general anaesthesia at accredited facilities in Sydney, ensuring the highest standards of care.

Your recovery is an essential part of the journey, and we’ll support you every step of the way. Here’s what to expect:
- Wear a compression bra for 6–12 weeks to aid healing and reduce swelling.
- Most patients return to light activities within a week.
- Avoid strenuous exercise for six weeks or as advised by your surgeon.
- Scars typically fade over 12 months with proper care and our scar management guidance.
Our team is available to answer any questions you have during your recovery.

Breast Implant Replacement and Revision with Dr Steve Merten
Breast implants may require review over time, and some patients consider implant replacement or revision due to changes in their preferences, concerns about their existing implants, or changes in breast shape or feel.
Breast implant revision surgery is individualised and may involve replacing implants, removing implants, or addressing other changes depending on the patient`s circumstances and clinical assessment.
If you have breast implants, ongoing review is important to help monitor their condition and discuss any concerns with your surgeon.
The outcomes shown are only relevant for this patient and do not necessarily reflect the results other patients may experience, as results may vary due to many factors including the individual’s genetics, diet and exercise.
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.
You should seek a second opinion from a Specialist Plastic Surgeon before proceeding.

Bilateral Mastectomies With Nipple Grafts with Dr Steve Merten
Gender-affirming top surgery is an individual decision, and surgical approaches vary according to each person`s anatomy, preferences and goals.
Bilateral mastectomy without nipple grafts involves the removal of breast tissue without reattaching the nipples as free nipple grafts. The suitability of this approach depends on individual circumstances and should be discussed during a consultation with your surgeon.
Dr Steve Merten can discuss the surgical options, incision placement, recovery, potential risks and post-operative care to help patients make informed decisions.
The outcomes shown are only relevant for this patient and do not necessarily reflect the results other patients may experience, as results may vary due to many factors including the individual’s genetics, diet and exercise.
