A Breast Reduction is performed to both reduce the size of the breast as well as to achieve a balanced, proportional and lifted appearance to the breast.
This procedure is for women who have large breasts and wish to address the following symptoms:
Breast reduction surgery, also known as reduction mammaplasty, is a popular procedure for individuals experiencing physical discomfort or lifestyle limitations due to disproportionately large breasts. At Mode Plastic Surgery in Sydney, breast reduction is approached with careful attention to both medical safety and aesthetic balance, aiming to reduce breast size while achieving natural, proportional contours.
Many patients seek breast reduction surgery to relieve issues such as neck and back pain, shoulder grooves from bra straps, and skin irritation beneath the breasts. Others choose the procedure for aesthetic reasons or to improve ease of movement, clothing fit, or overall body confidence. Regardless of the reason, each patient is assessed individually to determine whether breast reduction is a suitable option for their goals and medical background.
Dr Aggarwal is a fully qualified plastic surgeon with extensive experience in breast procedures, including breast reduction. Based in Sydney, he provides personalised care from initial consultation through to post-operative follow-up. His approach focuses on understanding each patient’s concerns and ensuring the surgical plan is tailored to achieve a balanced, long-lasting result.

At your consultation, Dr Aggarwal will explain the procedure, recovery expectations, potential risks, and realistic outcomes in detail. Patient safety, informed decision-making, and a natural-looking result remain at the forefront of every procedure at Mode Plastic Surgery.

The advantage of this scar are:
The disadvantages are few but mainly that there are extra scars compared to the lollipop approaches. In general, we find that these scars heal well become more inconspicuous over time. Due to the T shaped scar, sometimes there is slower healing at the T junction.

To choose a recommended breast reduction surgeon in Sydney, prioritise a FRACS‑accredited Specialist Plastic Surgeon with hospital accreditation and documented experience in reduction mammoplasty. This combination indicates recognised specialist training and high safety standards.
Dr Shagun Aggarwal is a FRACS‑qualified Specialist Plastic Surgeon with fellowship training in cosmetic and reconstructive breast surgery, performing breast reductions in accredited Sydney hospitals including Sydney Adventist, Prince of Wales, and Royal Hospital for Women.
Recommended qualifications include:
1. FRACS (Plast) – Fellowship of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons

3. Accredited to operate in licensed private and public hospitals
4. Experience in reduction mammoplasty and breast reshaping techniques

Breast reduction is highly personalised – the surgical approach depends on breast size, tissue composition, degree of sagging, and patient goals. Surgeons who regularly perform reduction mammoplasty can tailor the technique for optimal shape, symmetry, and scar management.
Dr Aggarwal has performed a wide range of breast reduction procedures as part of his specialist plastic surgery practice in Sydney, supported by fellowship-level training in breast surgery.
Breast reduction (reduction mammoplasty) removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to achieve a size proportionate to your body and reduce discomfort caused by large breasts.
Unlike breast augmentation or lift procedures alone, reduction balances functional relief with aesthetic shaping. Correct breast sizing, nipple repositioning, and scar pattern selection are key to long-term comfort and natural contour.
Key factors when reviewing results include:
1. Proportionate breast size relative to body frame
2. Improved symmetry and shape
3. Balanced nipple height and orientation
4. Appropriate scar placement relative to reduction extent
