BREAST PROCEDURES
ABOUT
BREAST REDUCTION
Breast reduction is a surgical procedure designed to decrease the size and weight of overly large breasts for improved comfort and proportions.
By removing excess breast tissue and skin, this technique reshapes the breasts, resulting in lighter and smaller breasts.
This procedure effectively reduces physical discomfort, often experienced in the neck and back. As well as issues such as skin irritation, posture problems and limitations in physical activity, enhancing overall quality of life.
A STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE
THE BREAST REDUCTION
PROCEDURE EXPLAINED
On the day of your surgery, you will check in at the surgical facility, where the admission process for your procedure will begin.
Here’s what you can expect:
ADMISSION
Upon arrival, you'll be greeted, admitted, and undergo a pre-operative assessment by clinic staff and your anaesthetist to ensure you are prepared for your procedure.
PREPARATION
After changing into surgical attire, the nurses will accompany you to the operating theatre, where the anaesthetist will administer anaesthesia to ensure your comfort during the procedure.
PROCEDURE
Dr Frank will create incisions according to the specific results you wish to achieve. He will then remove excess breast tissue, fat, and skin, reshaping the remaining breast tissue to form smaller, more balanced breasts that enhance your overall proportions.
AFTERCARE
Following your procedure, you’ll be monitored in a recovery ward until you are ready for discharge. Depending on your needs, an overnight stay can be arranged for added comfort.

WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER
BREAST REDUCTION
RECOVERY
Following surgery, patients are advised to follow their personalised recovery guidelines from Dr Frank to ensure a smooth postoperative journey.
WEAR A
SUPPORTIVE BRA
A soft, supportive surgical bra will need to be worn continuously for several months. This helps reduce swelling, supports healing tissues, and ensures the breasts heal in their newly sculpted shape.
EXPECT A LIGHTER,
FIRMER FEELING
Following a breast reduction, many patients experience immediate relief from the discomfort caused by overly large breasts, including reduced pressure on the neck, shoulders, and back. Over time, swelling will decrease, and the breasts will take on their final shape.
RESTRICT ARM
MOVEMENT
It’s essential to avoid lifting your arms above shoulder level or engaging in any activities that may strain your chest muscles during the first few weeks of recovery to prevent stress on the healing incisions.
FOLLOW CARE
INSTRUCTIONS
Adhere closely to Dr Frank’s post-operative care guidelines, including managing your medications, attending follow-up appointments, and monitoring incision sites for any signs of complications to ensure a smooth recovery.
