Breast Reduction Perth & Breast Lift Perth Australia
Breast Reduction Surgery
Breast reduction surgery - also called reduction mammaplasty - can greatly benefit women who are experiencing problems as a result of exceptionally large breasts. It is a procedure that removes excess breast tissue and skin, making your breasts more proportional to the rest of your body. The areola (the pigmented skin surrounding the nipple) may be reduced and repositioned as well. See Gallery for before and after images of breast reduction surgery.

Breast Lift Perth
A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure to raise and reshape sagging breasts. Factors such as pregnancy, nursing, and the force of gravity take their toll on a woman's breasts over the years. If your breasts are small or have lost volume, after pregnancy for example, breast implants inserted in conjunction with a breast lift can increase both their firmness and their size.

You may be a good candidate for breast reduction if you have large breasts and want to resolve one or more of the following associated problems:

- breasts that are too large in proportion to your body frame

- feelings of self-consciousness or self-esteem problems
- one breast that is much larger than the other
How is Breast Reduction Surgery Done?
In breast reduction surgery, Dr. Briggs removes excess skin, fat, and glandular tissue from breasts, and sculpts them into a smaller, firmer, better-contoured shape. Dr Briggs favors a minimally invasive approach and in most breasts is able to utilise a vertical-only scar.
Best Candidates for a Breast Lift Procedure
The best candidates for a breast lift are physically healthy, emotionally stable women who are realistic about what the breast lift surgery can accomplish. The best results of breast lift surgery are usually achieved in women with small, sagging breasts. Breasts of any size can be lifted, but the results may not last as long in heavy breasts. See Gallery for before and after images of breast lift surgery.
How is Breast Lift Surgery Done?
In breast lift surgery, the incision outlines the area from which breast skin will be removed and defines the new location for the nipple. When the excess skin has been removed, the nipple and areola are moved to the higher position. The skin surrounding the areola is then brought down and together to reshape the breast. Stitches are usually located around the areola, in a vertical line extending downwards from the nipple area, and along the lower crease of the breast.
