What is Breast Lift & Areola Reduction in Kent?

Areola reduction & Breast lift (Mastopexy) surgery is a popular cosmetic procedure designed to reduce the diameter of the areola (the pigmented skin surrounding the nipple) and to lift, tighten, and reshape the sagging breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue, restoring a firmer, more youthful uplifted natural-looking breast.

It is ideal for individuals with large stretched areolas and or breasts that hang low, often losing firmness and youthful contour due to aging, weight loss, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or genetics.

If you plan to breastfeed in the future, it is important to discuss this with your surgeon beforehand. They will adapt the technique to protect the milk ducts and nerves as much as possible to support breastfeeding after your recovery.

Recovery is straightforward for most patients. Light activity is encouraged from the day after surgery, and showering is usually allowed after one week. A supportive sports bra should be worn day and night for three weeks to support healing and maintain results. Most people can return to work within one to two weeks, and full recovery is generally expected within six to eight weeks. To be considered for a breast lift/areola reduction at the Minor Surgery Clinic, you must be over 18, in good general health, and have realistic expectations about the outcome.

The Breast Lift & Areola Reduction Process in Kent

Areola reduction and or Breast Lift surgery is a straightforward outpatient procedure typically completed in about two hours under local anaesthetic. During surgery, the surgeon marks the desired areola size based on your goals and anatomy, then removes a circular ring of skin from the outer areola to reduce its size while keeping a natural look.

Incisions are typically made around the areola in order to minimise the scar. Care is taken to preserve blood supply and nipple sensation.The incision is closed with fine, dissolvable sutures to minimise scarring and support healing.

Most patients experience minimal discomfort and can return to normal activities within a few days, with full healing over the following weeks.A supportive sports bra should be worn day and night for up to eight weeks. Full healing of the wounds would take few months.

What are the risks?

95% of Dr Braham’s cases proceed without complications; however, complications may occur and can include:
  • Allergic Reactions
  • Bleeding or Haematoma
  • Swelling and Bruising
  • Infection
  • Delayed Wound Healing
  • Persistent pain, tightness, or discomfort in the breasts
  • Fat Necrosis
  • Scarring
  • Asymmetry
  • Partial or complete Numbness 
  • Loss of Pigmentation
  • Breastfeeding Difficulties (if future children are planned)
  • Unsatisfactory cosmetic outcome

What is the aftercare process?

Discharge: You will be allowed home shortly after the surgery.

Post-Surgical Symptoms: Mild to moderate pain, tightness, swelling, and bruising are common for up to three weeks after surgery. These are temporary and manageable with prescribed or over-the-counter pain relief.

Wound Care: Dressings are used to protect the incisions, keep them clean and dry, and follow all post-op instructions to prevent infection and aid healing. Protect the area from sun for at least six months to minimise scarring and discolouration.

Rest and Activity: Rest is crucial in the early recovery period. Limit activity for 5–7 days and avoid strenuous exercise, heavy lifting, or sleeping on your stomach for at least six weeks.

Support Garment: You will be advised to wear a supportive sports bra continuously—day and night—for up to eight weeks to minimise swelling and help maintain your new breast shape.

Results Over Time: Final result improves gradually as swelling reduces. The breast new shape and size will refine over weeks to months, often boosting body confidence.

Ongoing Support: Even after your scheduled follow-ups, our dedicated nursing team remains available for continued guidance and to answer any questions throughout your recovery.
