What is a Breast Reduction?

Breast reduction also helps with skin irritation under the breasts and allows for greater ease in exercise and daily activities.

Preparation & Aftercare
Follow these instruction to prepare for your procedure and to have a smooth post-operative recovery.
Pre-Op
Maintain a stable weight before surgery. Stop smoking 1 week before the procedure. Avoid blood-thinning medications or supplements. Arrange for a responsible adult to stay with you for the first 24 hours.
What to Avoid
Smoking, alcohol, and recreational drugs Heavy meals or eating after the time specified by your clinic Unapproved medications or herbal supplements Last-minute skincare treatments (peels, waxing) near the surgery site.
Post-Op
Wear supportive garments as recommended to reduce swelling and support healing. Take prescribed medications for pain and inflammation as directed. Avoid strenuous activities and heavy lifting for 2–4 weeks. Keep the incision sites clean and dry; follow wound care instructions. Attend all follow-up appointments to monitor your recovery.
TYPES OF PEDICLES USED
Superior
This method maintains the nipple’s connection to the upper breast tissue. It’s commonly used for smaller reductions and lifts, offering good projection and a more youthful breast contour.
Inferior
The inferior pedicle keeps the nipple attached to the lower breast tissue. It’s ideal for large reductions and preserves nipple sensation with reliable blood supply and long-term shape.
SupraMedial
Combining upper and inner breast tissue, this pedicle offers strong blood supply, great shape, and reliable nipple positioning. It’s ideal for moderate-to-large reductions with excellent long-term outcomes.
What to expect
During Your Breast Reduction Procedure
Breast reduction surgery, or reduction mammaplasty, is typically performed under general anesthesia and takes two to three hours depending on complexity. Dr. Ali Soueid will remove excess breast tissue, fat, and skin while reshaping the breasts and repositioning the nipples for a lifted, natural look. You’ll wake up in a recovery room with dressings, and may go home the same day or stay overnight based on your treatment plan.
Expect some swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort for the first week, which can be managed with prescribed pain relief. Most patients return to work and light activities within 10–14 days, with full results visible after swelling subsides in a few weeks. You’ll need to avoid heavy lifting, wear a surgical bra, and attend follow-ups with Dr. Soueid in London, Doha, or Dubai to ensure healing and symmetry. With expert care, breast reduction offers life-changing physical relief and long-lasting aesthetic improvement.
