Benefits of Breast Reduction Surgery
Breast Reduction surgery, as the name suggests, reduces the size and weight of the breasts, addressing common issues associated with large breasts, such as neck pain, shoulder grooving, and skin irritation under the breasts. Beyond functional benefits, the procedure also delivers significant cosmetic enhancements.
Post-surgery, the breasts are lighter and more proportionate, providing greater comfort and mobility. They appear rounder, with nipples repositioned higher to the center of the breast mound for a more natural look. Additionally, the areolas are resized and reshaped if they have become stretched due to breast enlargement, further enhancing the overall appearance.
In summary, Breast Reduction is designed to:
-
Decrease overall breast size and weight.
-
Elevate the breast mound
-
Build a rounder breast shape
-
Raise the descended nipple-areolar complex
-
Reduce the areolas size
Who is a Candidate for Breast Reduction Surgery?
You may be a candidate for breast reduction if:
You have large breasts that affect your daily activities
You have large breasts that are causing symptoms
The weight of your breasts causes grooves in your shoulders from your bra
You have neck or back pain related to strain from heavy breasts
You breasts are too large for your preference
You want to correct droopy breasts and also want them smaller
Other Criteria for Candidates:
Fitness and Health
Patients should be generally fit and relatively healthy; Dr. Ahmad will make an assessment of your general health and suitability before undergoing any type of surgery.
No Smoking
Smokers should quit smoking at least 2 weeks prior to surgery.
Breastfeeding Recovery
Patients who are breastfeeding should wait 4-8 weeks after completing breastfeeding before having surgery so that the true breast size can be determined.
Realistic Surgery Goals
A patient should have realistic expectations about what can be accomplished through Breast Reduction.
Methods of Breast Reduction and Their Incisions
Any surgical procedure will leave some type of scar. A plastic surgeon specializes in obtaining the least visible scars and putting them in the least visible places. There are two main techniques of Breast Reduction leading to two different Breast Reduction incisions.
Technique
Shorts Scar Breast Reduction
Incision
Around the areola plus a vertical incision below the areola
Traditional Breast Reduction
Incision for a short scar Breast Reduction plus a horizontal incision in the breast fold
The method chosen for Breast Reduction depends on the degree of ptosis (drooping) and breast size. Smaller breasts with minimal drooping typically require fewer incisions, using a short-scar technique. In contrast, larger breasts with significant drooping often necessitate a traditional technique with more incisions.
During your consultation, Dr. Ahmad will assess your anatomy and recommend the most suitable approach for your needs. Regardless of the technique, scars are discreetly placed around the nipple and along the breast fold, making them easily concealed by clothing of any style.
The Breast Reduction Procedure
The Breast Reduction procedure is performed under general anesthesia, ensuring you are completely unconscious and pain-free throughout.
The surgery involves removing excess skin and breast tissue, primarily from the lower portion of the breast. The nipple is elevated to a more aesthetically pleasing position on the breast mound while remaining attached to the underlying tissue to preserve sensation and blood circulation. Additionally, the areola, often stretched with larger breasts, is resized to better match the new breast proportions.
Once the breasts are reduced and lifted, Dr. Ahmad adjusts the operating table so you are positioned upright. This allows him to assess breast shape and symmetry with precision. He makes any necessary refinements to ensure the most balanced and natural results.
To conclude, Dr. Ahmad carefully sutures the incisions using advanced plastic surgery techniques. Afterward, you are fitted with a surgical bra and gently awakened from anesthesia, ready to begin your recovery.
Recovery from Breast Reduction
Recovery From Breast Reduction Immediately After Surgery
After your Breast Reduction surgery, you will be taken to the post-anesthesia recovery area, where nurses will monitor you as you gradually wake up. Once the effects of anesthesia wear off, Dr. Ahmad will discharge you to go home, accompanied by a friend or family member.
Recovery From Breast Reduction at Home
At home, rest is essential. For the first day, limit your activities to sleeping, watching TV, or reading. You may experience chest soreness for the first 3-7 days. Dr. Ahmad will prescribe pain medication to manage discomfort and antibiotics as a precaution for the first 5 days. To minimize swelling and discomfort, sleep with your back elevated, either using extra pillows or a reclining chair, for the first 7-10 days. Most patients can return to non-strenuous work after about a week.
Follow-Up Visits After a Breast Reduction
Your first postoperative visit will take place one week after surgery. Dr. Ahmad will examine your incisions, remove stitches, and provide updated activity guidelines. Light exercise, such as walking, is typically permitted two weeks after surgery, while more strenuous activities like weightlifting, aerobics, or sports can resume after 4-6 weeks.
Swelling and bruising are normal in the first 1-2 weeks. During this time, wear the provided bra, even while sleeping, for optimal support and healing. The breasts may appear slightly unnatural initially, but this is temporary. It usually takes 1-3 months for them to settle into a more natural shape.
Follow-up visits are scheduled at 6 weeks and 6 months post-surgery to monitor your progress. At some appointments, post-operative photos will be taken to document your results. With time, your breasts will achieve their final shape and feel more natural.
Risks and Complication of Breast Reduction
As with any surgery, there are risks involved with having Breast Reduction. Although the procedure has a low risk profile, Dr. Ahmad will make sure to go through the pertinent potential problems associated with Breast Reduction at the time of your consultation.
Risks of Breast Reduction Surgery may include:
-
Anesthesia complications . Infection

-
How long is the recovery period?Most patients experience swelling and mild discomfort for 1–2 weeks. Full recovery and final results may take several weeks to months as the swelling subsides.
-
Will the implants look natural?When performed by a skilled surgeon, facial implants are designed to integrate seamlessly with your natural features, providing subtle yet noticeable improvements.

How Long Does the Nose Correction / Reshaping Last?For the majority of the Hyaluronic Acid to degrade, more than 12 months will be required. Nonetheless, around one-third of the injection will remain permanent.
-
How Much Does a Nose Job With Filler in Dubai Cost?The costs for a nasal injection containing up to 1 ml of Hyaluronic gel are determined based on the amount of effort and materials required. The price of this injection is AED 2000, excluding value-added tax. The doctor's schedule of fees will be used to determine the price based on the individual effort and materials used. Currently, there is a special offer available for AED 2,100, which is only valid for a few more days.
-
A Nose Correction Without Surgery - What Can I Expect?By undergoing a simple procedure known as Hyaluronic acid implantation, an experienced doctor can help you achieve a more proportionate and aesthetically pleasing nose by remodeling its tip or knob area. Observers often tend to notice any facial irregularities, and a nose that has been reshaped through this method will appear more regular and better integrated with the rest of your features, thereby giving the illusion of a smaller nose.
-
Which Hyaluronic Gel (Filler) Is Used?We typically utilize a gel containing synthetic Hyaluronic Acid, which mimics the natural water-retaining substance produced by our bodies. The difference between this synthetic form and the body's own version lies in its chemical stabilization through linking molecules. Other fillers with higher viscosity are less suitable for correcting nasal shape, particularly permanent ones on the nasal ridge, as they either have an unsuitable consistency or are prone to rejection by the body. The gel-like consistency of Hyaluronic Acid allows for a visible, albeit limited lifting effect beneath taut nasal skin. In the event of need, hyaluronidase can dissolve the Hyaluronic Acid gel.
-
How Does a Nose Job Without Surgery Proceed?To begin the procedure, the nose will be locally numbed as required. The Hyaluronic Acid gel will then be accurately implanted beneath the skin to correct the specific needs of the nose. If a local anesthetic is administered, its effects may last for approximately an hour following the treatment. There is no need for downtime or recovery time, and you may resume your daily activities right away.
-
What Unwanted Side Effects Are Possible?It is likely that the treated area will experience swelling and redness after being treated with Hyaluronic Acid. After a nose correction, small hematomas may appear, but they are not comparable to the significant bleeding that may occur after a Rhinoplasty operation. These hematomas can be concealed with make-up and typically disappear within three days. While vigorous massaging may shift the position of the Hyaluronic Acid slightly, it should only be done by the treating physician. Prior to treatment, you will receive information on the potential side effects of any intervention that affects the integrity of the human body, including rare but possible effects on blood and nerve supply, as well as the wound itself. These risks are similar to those associated with the injection of premium-quality Hyaluronic Acid for wrinkle treatment. If you are unsatisfied with the results, Nose Fillers can be dissolved using an appropriate enzyme.
-
Is the Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty with Nose Filler Safe?Hyaluronic Acid occurs naturally in human tissue and doesn't cause rejection reactions. When working with this substance, we use small amounts and needles. Nevertheless, any invasive procedure carries some degree of risk, and the safety of a non-medically necessary treatment should be paramount. Even a relatively safe procedure should not be promoted as entirely risk-free. The injection of Hyaluronic Acid into tissue involves the implantation of a foreign substance, which has mechanical, osmotic, and growth-modulating effects.
-
Is a Nose Job Without Surgery Painful?By administering a local anesthetic to delicate areas, the procedure can be comfortably endured, although some mild discomfort may still be present. Patients may have differing levels of pain perception; for instance, those who underwent a nose correction using Hyaluronic Acid gel may experience temporary, slight discomfort. By employing basic pain medication, we aim to maximize your level of comfort.

-
