Breast Surgery

Many women may be unhappy with the size or shape of their breasts, feeling that they are too big, too small, or uneven in size due to a variety of causes, including genetic makeup, or factors such as weight loss, weight gain, pregnancy/breast feeding, or menopause and the natural ageing process.

This can impact self confidence, make buying the right size of underwear difficult. There are a variety of procedures available to help improve the appearance and volume of the breasts and
help restore self confidence. Enlargement of the male breast, (gynaecomastia), can also
cause similar physical and psychological problems.

Breast Reduction

Large breast size may be due to different factors, such as age
(adolescence or menopause), hormones (including HRT
treatment), height, weight and genetic inheritance. They can
cause discomfort of the neck, back and shoulders due to their
size, while also causing social embarrassment, difficulty with
exercising and finding fashionable clothing.

A breast reduction operation makes the breasts smaller, by
removing fat, breast tissue and skin. The remaining breast
tissue and nipples are uplifted leaving smaller breasts. A breast
reduction can also help to improve symmetry in uneven breasts.

Breast Augmentation

Breast size and shape is genetically determined, but can change throughout life in response to weight changes, pregnancy/breast feeding and ageing.

As part of the natural ageing process, the elastic tissues of the breast and skin tend to droop/sag (ptosis). This can also be seen

after pregnancy, breast feeding and weight loss. It is normal for most women to have two breasts which are slightly different in size and shape. If this difference is significant, then they may also seek surgical correction.

Breast Asymmetry

Breast asymmetry is very common and is usually due to unequal breast development but can also follow previous breast surgery. Correction of the asymmetry may require surgery to one or both breasts, by the same or different surgical techniques.

An assessment of the size and shape of each breast is made at the outpatient consultation, after which a discussion is had about matching results with goals and expectations.

Male Breast Reduction (Gynaecomastia)

Some men can suffer from a condition called gynaecomastia (man boobs), where there is an excess of breast tissue in the chest.
A breast reduction procedure can improve the appearance of the chest and increase self-confidence.

Having never had surgery or general anaesthetic before I was very nervous, however Mr Bahia listened to my concerns and was extremely reassuring.
The surgery went exactly as explained to me, the scars healed quickly and are very neat. Aftercare was excellent too and I cannot recommend Mr Bahia and the staff at Refine Plastic Surgeons highly enough.

I had implant removal, reduction and uplift by Mr Bahia at Spire Hospital Edinburgh. At my first consultation Mr Bahia explained in full detail what the operation would entail. Mr Bahia was very friendly, polite & professional throughout and helped put my mind at ease by answering any questions I had.
My operation went very well and I am over the moon with the results. I really can’t thank him enough.
