| Breast Reduction Quick Facts: Operation: Breast Reduction Description: Breasts that are very large, can, and often do, cause a much distress as small breasts, and there are physical effects too in the form of back pain. Removing some breast tissue and outer skin can improve appearance as well as relieve symptoms such as the back pain or bad posture. Length of Operation*: 3-3.5 hours Recover time**: 2 Weeks Back to work in**: 2 Weeks Discomfort during Recovery**: Moderate Large breasts can be a physical and embarrassing problem for many women. Many women suffer from back pain associated with the excess weight, and some women also suffer intense embarrassment associated with large breasts. The techniques employed by our surgeon ensure there is minimal bruising and more importantly minimal scarring. This means more and more younger women consider it an option rather than having to suffer in the future from problems such as neck and back pain. Whatever the motivation for having this surgery, you can be assured that we will deal with you in a most professional and confidential manner. Breast Reduction at Castlefield Clinic is carried out under local anaesthetic with sedation which minimises the risks normally associated with a general anaesthetic. The technique of anaesthesia also means that there is less bruising and a quicker recovery time with no need for an over night stay.
