Breast reduction surgery   Breast Reduction

Surgical Indications
The main reason for breast reduction are:
1. To reduce the size of breasts to     improve posture, and back, neck
    and shoulder pain.
2. To improve self-confidence and
    self esteem
3. To allow more unrestricted activity.
4. To raise the position of downward     pointing nipples and areolars.
5. To reduce the likelihood of rashes     forming in the folds underneath
    the breasts.

Liposution Indications for Breast Reduction

Liposuction as a form of breast reduction can be indicated in young women who only require approximately one cup size reduction in breast volume and have a moderate amount of fat within the breast. It relies on the fact that skin following liposuction and the reduction in breast volume will retract to a more suitable size and the nipple position may also rise to a more appropriate level. Only selected patients are suitable
for this procedure.

Please contact Mr Banwell’s office. His staff can answer any questions you may have and can arrange for a quote and information regarding the procedure to be sent to you.

What type of anaesthetic?

Mr Banwell recommends a general anaesthetic undertaken by a specialist anaesthetist. The operation is usually performed with the assumption of an overnight stay.

How many times should I see Mr Banwell before the operation?

We generally like to see you at least twice prior to your surgery, although Mr Banwell welcomes and encourages you to visit as many times as you require to allay any concerns you may have about your surgery and at the same time confirm the size, look and expected outcome you are trying to achieve. It is vital that you are fully informed of what the procedure involves and the potential risks.

 

Breast Augmentation

What happens after the operation?
After the operation there are no stitches to remove as they are all internal. The hospital nurse or administrative staff member will contact you after the operation to ensure that you have no problems during your convalescence. You are generally in hospital 1-2 nights. There will be post-op visits at one week, then at two & six weeks and at 6 months months. A crop-top/ athletic bra is to be worn day and night for six weeks. We recommend no driving for two weeks post-operatively and no rigorous e
xercise for six weeks. At your first post-op visit we will discuss the best way to achieve the optimum scar result.

What size will I be after the operation?

Mr Paul Banwell will discuss with you how much breast tissue you would like removed and what cup size ideally you would like to be after the operation. Of course there can be no exact guarantee as to what cup size the breasts will be after the operation and he will make it as close to this size as possible.

What are the risks?
There are both general and specific risks and Mr Banwell will talk to you in detail regarding these. General risks include bruising and swelling, bleeding, wound
infection, problems with general anaesthetics, abnormal scarring and keloid scarring and blood clots in the legs and lungs. The specific risks of breast reduction include loss of sensation to the breast skin or nipple, bottoming out of the breast, interference with breast-feeding, continued neck, back and shoulder pain, fat necrosis or skin loss, wound breakdown and haematoma, asymmetry, nipples size difference, asymmetry in nipple heights and delayed wound healing.
