Ideal for individuals with large breasts causing back, neck, or shoulder pain, skin irritation, or difficulty with physical activities.
Not suitable for those with certain health issues or unrealistic expectations.

How Safe Is It?

Generally safe when performed by an experienced surgeon. Risks include scarring, changes in sensation, or uneven results, though complications are uncommon.

Pros & Cons

Pros: Relieves physical discomfort, enhances appearance, and improves mobility.

Cons: Visible scarring; temporary swelling and bruising; possible impact on breastfeeding.

What is the recovery time?

Recovery typically takes 2-4 weeks, with most swelling and discomfort subsiding in the first few weeks. Full results may take a few months.

Will there be scars?

Yes, some scarring is expected, but skilled surgical techniques and proper aftercare can minimize their visibility over time.
