What is Breast Reduction?
Breast reduction, or reduction mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure to remove excess breast tissue, fat, and skin in order to achieve a smaller, more proportionate breast size. At La Belle Forme in Glasgow, our experienced surgeons focus on achieving balanced, natural-looking results tailored to your body.
Many women choose this procedure to ease physical discomfort such as back and neck pain, improve mobility, and feel more comfortable in clothing. It may also help reduce skin irritation and improve posture.
This procedure can significantly improve quality of life by alleviating both physical and emotional discomfort related to overly large breasts.
What Happens During Surgery?
Breast reduction surgery is typically performed under general anaesthetic. During the procedure:
- Excess breast tissue, fat, and skin are removed
- The breasts are reshaped and lifted to a more youthful position
- The nipples may be repositioned to suit the new shape (keeping them attached to preserve sensation in most cases)
Our surgeons take great care to maintain proportion, symmetry, and natural aesthetics throughout the process.
Is Breast Reduction Right For Me?
You may benefit from this surgery if you:
- Experience back, neck, or shoulder pain from large breasts
- Struggle with posture or physical activity
- Feel self-conscious about your breast size
- Suffer from bra strap grooves or skin irritation beneath the breast fold
During your consultation, your surgeon will assess your goals and medical history to determine if breast reduction is suitable for you.
- Relief from back, neck, and shoulder pain
- Easier movement and exercise
- Improved clothing fit and posture
- Enhanced body confidence and symmetry
All surgeries carry potential risks, which may include:
- Temporary bruising, swelling, or discomfort
- Scarring (usually well-concealed in the breast fold)
- Changes in nipple sensation (temporary or permanent)
- Difficulty breastfeeding in some cases
- Asymmetry or delayed wound healing
Your surgeon will fully explain the risks and steps we take to minimise them at your consultation.

FAQ's

Yes, but they are usually placed around the areola and in the crease beneath the breast. Scars typically fade over time with proper aftercare.
This varies depending on your goals and body proportions. Your surgeon will work with you to determine an appropriate new size.
Many patients experience improved posture after surgery due to reduced strain on the back and shoulders.
Yes, results are long-lasting. However, weight changes, pregnancy, or ageing may affect breast size over time.
