# Breast Reduction

Breast reduction is one of the most consistently high-satisfaction procedures in plastic surgery, because it addresses genuine symptom load rather than cosmetic preference. Women who've been managing chronic neck and shoulder pain, back strain, skin irritation under the breast, postural changes, and the practical difficulty of exercising or finding clothing that fits tend to describe the operation as life-changing once recovery is done. The procedure removes excess breast tissue, reshapes what remains into better proportion, and resets the nipple-areola complex to a higher position on the chest wall. It's a well-established operation with a long clinical track record and one of the few breast procedures where Medicare rebates commonly apply.

Dr Scott J Turner is a Specialist Plastic Surgeon (FRACS) with Sydney clinics in Bondi Junction and Manly, where he performs breast reduction for patients across Sydney's Eastern Suburbs, Northern Beaches, and wider metropolitan area.
