Breast reduction, like any surgical procedure, carries certain risks that individuals should be aware of before making a decision.

Common risks associated with breast reduction include infection, bleeding, adverse reaction to anaesthesia, scarring, changes in nipple or breast sensation, asymmetry, dissatisfaction with the aesthetic outcome, and the need for future revision surgeries. Breastfeeding is usually possible after a breast lift, but some individuals might experience difficulties in producing sufficient milk.

If you are having a reduction with implants – complications specific to breast implants such as rupture, rippling, or capsular contracture (scar tissue formation around the implant) are also possible. Recent news has highlighted a potential association between textured breast implants and Anaplastic Large-Cell Lymphoma (ALCL).

It is crucial to consult with an appropriately qualified surgeon, thoroughly discuss all the potential risks, and carefully weigh the benefits against the risks to make an informed decision.

Can you claim breast reduction on Medicare?
Medicare and/or your Private Health Insurance may provide some coverage for breast reduction surgery (also known as reduction mammoplasty) if it’s deemed medically necessary. Breast reduction surgery may be considered medically necessary if the large size of the breasts causes physical discomfort, such as chronic back, neck, or shoulder pain, skin irritation, or interference with daily activities. However, each case is assessed individually, and specific criteria must be met to qualify for Medicare coverage. Contact MINKST to help you understand if you can claim any part of your breast reduction surgery on Medicare and/or Private Health Insurance.

When can I exercise after breast reduction surgery?
After breast reduction surgery, refrain from strenuous exercise for several weeks to allow for proper healing. Light activities like walking can usually be resumed soon after surgery to promote circulation. However, avoid high-impact or intense exercises until cleared by your MINKST doctor / surgeon, typically after 6+ weeks. Follow your surgeon’s post-operative instructions closely for optimal recovery and to minimise the risk of complications.
