Why Breast Reduction Is Important
People opt for breast reduction for a number of reasons. The primary reason is inherent discomfort experienced from the large size of breasts, causing issues like back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, digging of bra straps on shoulder, rashes and poor posture. At our breast reduction clinic in Birmingham, we also offer breast reduction for purely aesthetic purposes, helping you achieve the body proportions and contouring you desire. Another popular reason for choosing breast reduction surgery in Birmingham, is to alleviate breast sagging in your chest region.
Our plastic surgery clinic offers effective breast reduction procedures for all these requirements and more. Your comfort and wellbeing are given paramount importance as you take a step closer to your desired proportions.
Breast Reduction Procedure
In general, breast reduction is performed under general anaesthesia to alleviate any pain and discomfort during the procedure.

Can I get breast reduction on the NHS in Birmingham?

Eligibility is assessed by NHS criteria and varies by Trust. Mr Jagadeesan holds NHS consultant roles at University Hospitals Birmingham.
What is the recovery time after breast reduction in Birmingham?
Most patients take 2 to 4 weeks off work following breast reduction in Birmingham. A supportive bra is worn for 6 weeks. Strenuous activity is avoided for 6 to 8 weeks. Swelling reduces significantly over 3 to 6 months and scars continue to mature for 12 to 18 months.
Will breast reduction affect my ability to breastfeed?
Breast reduction surgery may reduce or eliminate the ability to breastfeed depending on the technique used and the amount of tissue removed. Patients planning to breastfeed in the future must discuss this at consultation before proceeding. Mr Jagadeesan tailors the approach based on each patient's priorities.
What scarring should I expect after breast reduction in Birmingham?
Permanent scarring is an expected outcome of breast reduction surgery. Mr Jagadeesan uses techniques that position incisions around the areola and vertically downward, concealed by underwear and a bra. Scars typically fade to pale and flat over 12 to 18 months. Scar management advice is provided at follow-up.
Will I lose nipple sensation after breast reduction in Birmingham?
Temporary changes in nipple sensation are common after breast reduction and typically resolve over several months as nerve endings regenerate. Permanent loss of sensation is rare with standard techniques but is discussed at consultation as a known risk, along with the likelihood based on individual anatomy.
What bra size will I be after breast reduction in Birmingham?
The target size is agreed at consultation based on your goals, body proportions and what is surgically achievable. Most patients reduce by two to four cup sizes. A precise post-operative size cannot be guaranteed as individual healing affects final results. Mr Jagadeesan provides realistic expectations at consultation.
When will my breast tissue fully soften?
Your breast tissue will soften usually around a year after the surgery is completed. However, your breasts will feel lighter a couple months after the surgery.
When can I resume my usual routine?
You can resume your usual routine around 3-4 weeks after a breast reduction surgery. Keep rigorous exercise to a minimum for around 12 weeks, however.
