BREAST REDUCTION
Breast Reduction Surgery in Singapore
Breast reduction surgery is a medical and aesthetic procedure designed to reduce breast size, relieve physical discomfort, and improve overall proportion.
At Azataca Plastic Surgery, our MOH-accredited surgeons perform breast reduction surgery in Singapore, tailoring each procedure to the patient’s anatomy, symptoms, and desired outcome.
ABOUT
About Breast Reduction
Breast reduction (reduction mammoplasty) removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to achieve a lighter, more balanced breast contour.
Beyond cosmetic refinement, breast reduction surgery is often performed to relieve:
- Neck and shoulder pain
- Back discomfort
- Skin irritation beneath the breasts
- Bra strap grooving
- Postural strain
PROCEDURES
Procedural Approaches
Breast reduction surgery may be performed using different incision techniques depending on breast size, skin elasticity, and desired lift.
Common surgical approaches include:
- Anchor (inverted-T) incision
- Vertical (lollipop) incision
- Periareolar incision (selected cases)
During surgery:
- Excess tissue is removed
- Breast shape is reshaped
- The nipple-areolar complex may be repositioned
- Symmetry is refined
The procedure is typically performed under general anaesthesia and may take several hours depending on complexity.
INDICATIONS

Breast reduction may be suitable for individuals who experience:
- Persistent neck, shoulder, or back pain
- Recurrent skin irritation
- Limitations in physical activity
- Difficulty finding supportive clothing

A comprehensive consultation is required to determine suitability and discuss expected outcomes.
