Breast Reduction: The lighter side of life<br />
Nicolas Parkhouse has worked as a Consultant Plastic Surgeon at <strong>Nuffield</strong><br />
<strong>Health</strong> <strong>Haywards</strong> <strong>Heath</strong> <strong>Hospital</strong> since 1994, where he has been performing<br />
breast reductions for 20 years. Patients benefit from his extensive skill,<br />
experience and dedicated continuity of care. Patients also have access to top<br />
class physiotherapists who can aid their recovery and rehabilitation.<br />
Breast reduction is a well-established procedure with a high success rate<br />
and low complication rate. It reduces the encumbrance and discomfort of<br />
excessively heavy breasts.<br />
During the operation, a pre-planned area of breast tissue is excised and<br />
the nipples lifted to a normal position. The wounds are sutured with buried<br />
absorbable stitches and a light adhesive tape dressing applied. Patients are<br />
given an elasticated support for the first two weeks and then a sports bra<br />
is worn for a further six weeks. There is usually a one to two night hospital<br />
stay. Post-op appointments are scheduled as part of the treatment plan and<br />
advice is given regarding scar management to achieve the optimum result.<br />
Patients can also benefit from physiotherapy where a series of exercises<br />
will be prescribed to help improve posture. Most women will resume driving<br />
within a week to 10 days and, on average, will be back at work within three<br />
weeks.<br />
