Recovery after breast reduction surgery is a process, and no two journeys look the same.

This reel offers a gentle glimpse into the early recovery period, where our focus is on comfort, wound care, mobility, and supporting the body as it heals. Some swelling, bruising and temporary changes in sensation are common and expected parts of recovery, and progress occurs gradually over time.

At De Lune, our postoperative care is not an afterthought. It is a considered, personalised, and guided by your procedure, your body, and your needs. We aim to provide clear education and close follow-up at every stage.

If you are exploring breast reduction surgery, a thorough consultation is essential to discuss suitability, risks, recovery expectations and individual outcomes.

If you’re considering breast surgery, you may have come across two common procedures: Breast Augmentation and Breast Mastopexy (lift). While they can sometimes be performed together, they serve different purposes:

Augmentation involves the use of implants to increase volume or fullness. It’s often chosen by those looking to increase breast volume.

Mastopexy, or a breast lift, focuses on repositioning and lifting the breast tissue without adding volume.

The right approach depends on your goals, anatomy, and lifestyle. During your consultation, we’ll discuss all options openly so you can make an informed decision that feels right for you.

This photograph shows a before and after result 6 weeks post surgery for gynaecomastia.

Gynaecomastia often has a glandular component, meaning liposuction alone may be insufficient. A tailored approach combining liposuction and excision allows more predictable contouring in selected patients.

A breast reduction operation may be suitable for those who experience physical discomfort and/or pain from their large breasts (eg. neck, shoulder or upper back pain). Occasionally headaches is also a common symptom!

The operation involves reducing breast volume, and commonly repositioning of the ni**le and reduction in ar**la size to provide symptomatic relief. Suitability and outcomes vary, and a personalised consultation is always essential.

Just Wowsa! Nurse Rachael spent the day with the amazing Niki from upskilling her ni**le and ar**la restoration knowledge and technique. Nurse Rach has been tattooing our mastectomy patients for a number of years now, but we wanted more. We wanted better! It’s safe to say we walked away buzzing - there was so much to learn, and we’re incredibly grateful for her time, expertise, and patience in helping us lift the standard of care for our breast cancer patients.

After any surgical procedure, your body works hard to heal in the quickest way possible.

Lymphatic drainage can help support the body's natural recovery process by reducing swelling, improve circulation & fluid drainage. It is therefore a very popular treatment modality in our body contouring patients and helps improve overall health and well-being.

At De Lune, we regularly incorporate tailored lymphatic drainage treatment into your recovery journey to aid and speed your recovery.

What does a "natural result" actually mean? After all, we do get LOTS of patients who come in asking for "natural results". Come to think of it, we also get just as many patients coming in stating that they are fearful of "looking fake" after surgery (cosmetic as well as medically necessary plastic surgery procedures). And for me as a surgeon, understanding your deepest fear is every bit as important as envisioning your ideal outcome.

In reality, no surgeon can ever totally promise or guarantee "natural results" - because at the end of the day, what looks natural (or fake) can be extremely subjective.

For us, the aim is for these changes to be subtle and in line with your overall appearance. We take great care to ensure that any changes, are respectful of your values, beliefs and individuality.
