THE AREOLA FRAMEWORK · R · REDUCE
Reduce
Less weight. More comfort. Better proportion.
Large or heavy breasts can affect comfort, posture, exercise, clothing and how a person feels in their body. Reduction removes breast tissue and skin and reshapes what remains, so the breasts sit in better proportion with the rest of the body.
Reduction is also a common step after major weight loss, when volume and skin laxity change the shape of the breasts.
Procedures under Reduce
Each page below explains one option in detail, including what it involves, who may consider it, recovery, scars and risks.
How the options differ
- Comfort and function. Many people consider reduction because of weight, shoulder or back strain, skin irritation or difficulty exercising. Benefits vary from person to person.
- Shape and proportion. Reduction is planned so the remaining breast tissue, nipple and areola sit in balance with your chest and frame.
- After weight loss. Reshaping may combine reduction, lifting and contouring, depending on the skin and tissue you have.
Questions worth asking
- How much reduction fits my goals and my anatomy?
- How will nipple position and sensation be considered in my plan?
- What will my scars look like, and how long is recovery?
- Is there anything about timing, weight or future pregnancy I should discuss?
Start with a conversation
A consultation covers your goals, an examination, the options that suit your anatomy, and the risks and trade-offs, so you can decide at your own pace. It might lead to surgery, to a different procedure, or to no surgery at all. Booking a consultation is not booking surgery.
