Breast Reduction and Lift

Breast reduction and lift surgery is designed to improve both comfort and appearance for women who feel weighed down by heavy, enlarged, or sagging breasts. At Manchester Private Hospital, this combined procedure is performed by experienced consultant plastic surgeons in a CQC-regulated hospital setting, offering safe, personalised care from consultation through recovery.

Many women choose a boob lift and reduction not only to enhance their shape, but to relieve physical discomfort, improve posture, and feel more confident in daily life.

What Is Breast Reduction and Lift Surgery?

Breast reduction and lift surgery combines two procedures into one:

Breast reduction removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to reduce size and weight.
Breast lift (mastopexy) reshapes and repositions the breasts to a higher, more youthful position.

Performing these together allows the surgeon to create breasts that are lighter, lifted, and proportionate, rather than simply smaller. This approach is often referred to as a boob reduction and lift, and it addresses both functional and aesthetic concerns at the same time.

Who Is a Suitable Candidate?

You may be a good candidate for breast reduction and lift if you experience:

Heavy or oversized breasts causing discomfort
Neck, back, or shoulder pain
Skin irritation beneath the breasts
Drooping, stretched, or asymmetrical breasts
Difficulty finding comfortable clothing or bras
A desire for improved shape and balance

Ideal candidates are generally in good health, at a stable weight, and have realistic expectations about outcomes and recovery.

Benefits of a Combined Breast Reduction and Lift

Women choose this procedure for both physical and emotional benefits, including:

Lighter, more comfortable breasts
Improved breast shape, position, and symmetry
Reduced back, neck, and shoulder strain
Better posture and ease of movement
Improved clothing fit and confidence
Long-lasting, natural-looking results

Many patients report that the improvement in comfort is just as life-changing as the aesthetic result.

Breast Reduction and Lift Techniques

Surgical techniques are carefully selected based on breast size, degree of sagging, and skin quality. Your surgeon will discuss the most appropriate approach during consultation.

Techniques may involve:

Removal of excess tissue and skin
Reshaping the breast mound
Repositioning the nipple and areola
Creating balanced, proportionate contours

Incision patterns vary and are chosen to achieve the best shape while keeping scarring as discreet as possible.

Your Consultation at Manchester Private Hospital

Your journey begins with a one-to-one consultation with a consultant plastic surgeon. This appointment focuses on understanding your concerns, goals, and expectations.

Your consultation includes:

Physical assessment and measurements
Discussion of symptoms and lifestyle impact
Explanation of surgical options and techniques
Honest discussion of risks and recovery
A personalised treatment recommendation

There is no pressure to proceed — the aim is to provide clarity and confidence.

The Breast Reduction and Lift Procedure

Surgery is performed under general anaesthetic in a fully equipped hospital operating theatre. The procedure typically takes several hours, depending on complexity.

Your surgeon carefully removes excess tissue, reshapes the breasts, and repositions them to create a balanced, natural appearance. Depending on individual needs, an overnight stay may be recommended.

Recovery and Aftercare

Recovery is gradual, and comprehensive aftercare is provided throughout.

Most patients can expect:

Swelling and bruising in the early weeks
Mild to moderate discomfort, managed with medication
A supportive surgical bra worn during healing
Gradual return to normal activities over several weeks

Follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor healing and ensure optimal results.

Scarring and Long-Term Results

All surgery involves scarring, but incisions are placed carefully and fade over time. Scar appearance varies between individuals and continues to improve for many months.

Results are long-lasting, especially when weight remains stable. Breasts typically remain lighter, lifted, and better proportioned.

Breast Reduction and Lift Before and After Results

Viewing real patient results is an important part of the decision-making process. Breast reduction and lift before and after images help demonstrate what can realistically be achieved in terms of shape, size, and symmetry.

Patients considering this surgery often find reassurance in seeing breast lift with reduction before and after examples that show natural proportions rather than dramatic or exaggerated changes. Your surgeon will guide you through appropriate results during consultation.
