What Is Breast Reduction Surgery?
Breast reduction, also known as reduction mammaplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to achieve a smaller, more balanced breast size. It is commonly performed to relieve physical discomfort such as neck and shoulder pain, improve posture, and create a more proportionate silhouette.
Dr Parviz Sadigh, a UK-trained plastic surgery consultant, offers breast reduction in Dubai using advanced techniques that minimise scarring and maintain natural shape. Every procedure is tailored to the patient’s anatomy, lifestyle, and aesthetic goals — combining medical relief with cosmetic refinement.
How the Procedure Works
Surgical Technique
Breast reduction surgery typically involves making incisions around the areola and vertically down to the breast crease. Excess fat, glandular tissue, and skin are removed, and the breasts are reshaped and lifted to a more youthful position. The areola may also be resized if needed.
Anaesthesia and Duration
The procedure is performed under general anaesthesia and usually takes 2 to 3 hours, depending on the complexity and technique used.
Recovery Timeline
Patients typically return home the same day or after an overnight stay. Most can resume desk work within 1–2 weeks, with full physical activity after 4–6 weeks. Swelling and mild discomfort are common during the early healing phase.
Long-Term Results
Once healed, patients enjoy lasting relief from physical discomfort, better clothing fit, and improved body confidence. Results are permanent, though significant weight changes or pregnancy may alter breast size and shape over time.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do the results of breast reduction last?
Breast reduction surgery delivers long-lasting results. The tissue removed will not return, but weight fluctuations, pregnancy, or ageing may affect breast shape over time.
Is the procedure painful?
Mild to moderate discomfort is common for a few days after surgery, managed with prescribed pain relief. Most patients describe the recovery as very manageable.
What are the risks involved?
As with any surgery, there are risks of bleeding, infection, scarring, and changes in nipple sensitivity. Dr Sadigh takes every measure to reduce complications and ensure patient safety.
How long is the recovery period?
Most patients return to non-physical work within 1–2 weeks. Full recovery, including return to gym or high-impact activity, typically takes 4–6 weeks.
How should I prepare for surgery?
Pre-surgery preparation includes blood tests, stopping certain medications, and arranging time off for rest. Dr Sadigh will provide a personalised preparation guide during consultation.
Will there be visible scars?
Yes, scarring is inevitable but strategically placed. Over time, most scars fade significantly. Dr Sadigh uses techniques that aim for discreet, well-healed results.
