Choose the body you want

Unfortunately, certain bodily features are ones that we don’t get to choose for ourselves. Although we do get a say in whether they remain. Adnova Clinic’s breast surgery options serve as a way to take control of your body.

What can be achieved through breast reduction?

The goal of our breast reduction treatment is to reduce the size and weight of overly large breasts, which often cause discomfort and place strain on the body. Breast reduction surgery is a popular choice for individuals with large breasts as it seeks to create more proportionate and balanced breasts. This is done through the removal of excess tissue, followed by expert reshaping of the breasts to fit your chosen aesthetic. In addition to the potential physical benefits, a breast reduction may also lead to increased body confidence and boost positivity.

We don’t just offer breast reduction, we also offer many other procedures such as Breast Augmentation, Breast Uplift, and even Gynaecomastia Correction.

Breast Reduction Before and After

What happens during breast reduction surgery

Prior to any breast surgery, patients will have a consultation with the surgeon to plan various aspects of the surgery. During the consultation, your surgeon will assess your breast size and shape, discuss your desired outcome, and provide detailed information on the reduction procedure, including potential risks and benefits.

Aftercare and recovery from breast reduction

The recovery process after breast reduction surgery varies for each individual, with an aftercare plan being created especially for you. It is essential to follow your surgeon’s post-operative instructions carefully to ensure proper healing and optimal results. This may include wearing a special surgical bra, avoiding strenuous activities, and attending follow-up appointments to monitor your progress.

I took my daughter to Adnova to see Mr Biggs about a nasty hockey injury to her nose. After an excellent consultation, she decided to go ahead with the surgery. On arrival, the Adnova team was incredibly friendly and efficient. She was particularly nervous about the anaesthesia, but her anaesthetist Marcus Fletcher was outstanding with her. His calm manner and gentle confidence was exactly what she needed. We were sent home same day with everything we needed to keep her comfortable at home and the results have been amazing. The piezo method used by Mr Biggs meant that bruising and swelling was limited and her confidence has re-emerged. I had definitely underestimated the incredible effect this kind of surgery can have on self-confidence. I am incredibly grateful to the Adnova team, the amazing Mr Biggs and our unsung hero of the OR, Marcus Fletcher. Thank you.
