Ms Montag, reality star of the US hit series The Hills and Celebrity Big Brother in the UK, has purportedly undergone fresh surgery to reduce the size of her already-enhanced ample assets. Montag famously got her original breast implants alongside 9 other procedures all in one day. In addition to having her naturally-sized A breasts increased […]
Breast Reduction Surgery questions: Hello, I am seriously considering breast reduction surgery. Naturally I have some unanswered questions. If you wouldn’t mind answering these questions I would very much appreciate it: 1) If I ever lost or put weight on would this affect my new breast size? 2) If I were to have another child […]
There has been a reported rise in the number of teenage girls in the US seeking and receiving breast reduction to reduce the size of their breasts. This increase may be attributable to the fact that America’s young are bigger than they used to be and this includes their bust sizes. General guidelines both here […]
We’ve uploaded another new video testimonial to the website – this time from one of our Breast Reduction patients. In the video you’ll hear from Dorothy, who had her breast reduction with Aurora Clinics 8 weeks ago. She came to us because she was suffering from considerable neck and back pain, and generally found her breasts […]
If you read certain magazines, or watch certain TV programmes, you would be forgiven for thinking that all British teenage girls are obsessed with the idea of having bigger breasts. But the reality is quite different. According to official government statistics, a total of 647 British girls aged between 15 to 18 have undergone breast […]
According to a recent study, having very large breasts can take such a toll on a woman’s health that it can reduce her life by five years. It sounds dramatic, and it should be noted that it isn’t the large breasts themselves that shorten life. Rather than directly reducing lifespan, the fact that large breasts […]

Many women are currently having their breast implants removed or replaced. Some women simply need breast reduction surgery because they are unhappy with the appearance of their large breasts in clothing or feel the weight of them is uncomfortable. Either way, if you now wish to significantly reduce the size of your bust, a consideration […]
1 Week Post-Bilateral Breast Reduction Surgery I’m doing great and amazingly I’m not in any pain! We are travelling down tomorrow for my appointment at Aurora Clinics in Northampton (The Three Shires) to sort out my stitches. I can see a bit of bruising on the sides under my armpit but it doesn’t hurt. I spoke […]
I have been considering Blepharoplasty (eyelid) and Breast Reduction operations for some time. My eyes were beginning to look tired and it was difficult to apply eye make-up, my breasts felt heavy and I was suffering from back, shoulder and neck ache trying to keep my breasts supported. I would travel anywhere to choose the right […]
Adrian Richards explains everything you need to know about breast reduction surgery.
Free nipple grafts are a slightly old-fashioned breast reduction technique in which the nipple is completely removed from the breast and replaced as a skin graft. Free nipple grafts were used some years ago because they were believed to be a safer technique in performing very large breast reductions of 1 kilogram and over per […]
In our opinion, breast reduction surgery that involves free nipple graft should be used only very infrequently. Our surgeon Adrian Richards has not used this technique for over 10 years and he treats over a hundred people for breast reductions per year. The reason we feel free nipple grafting should not be used in most patients is […]
Having breasts that are not in proportion to your physique causes significant problems – including wearing clothing and the way they look. The main problems with large breasts are: Neck and shoulder ache. Cutting in of a bra strap in their shoulders. Infections in the fold underneath the breast where the skin surfaces rub together. […]
Many surgeons would not use the vertical scar technique which we have discussed in previous blogs for breast reductions which involve removing more than 500 grams from each breast. The reason for this is that the scar between the nipple and the fold underneath the breast is likely to be too long and will lead […]
A pedicle is the plastic surgical term for a bridge of tissue which connects one area of skin to another. In breast reduction surgery, the pedicle is used to bring blood and nerve supply to the nipple when the tissue around it has been removed. The pedicle (bridge of tissue connecting the nipple) can lie […]
There’s really no upper limit to the weight that can be removed in a breast reduction and operation. In most cases, the average weight removed will be between 400 and 800 grams of tissue. Over 800 grams per breast comprises a larger breast reduction and over 1.5 kilograms per breast classifies as a very large […]
If your breasts are relatively small and your surgeon anticipates they would be removing less than 500 grams of tissue per side, often a vertical scar technique or a short transverse scar technique might be appropriate for you. The advantage of these techniques is that the scar does not extend wholly along the crease under […]
Many people who are considering a reduction in the size of their breasts are very worried about the scars that can occur following traditional breast reduction techniques. If you are worried about the scarring from traditional breast reduction, liposuction may be an option for you. The advantages of liposuction are: Minimal scarring. Quick recovery. With […]
Here, Plastic Surgeon Adrian Richards shows you how each stage of the operation is performed. In the video he shows you: Which bit of the breast is removed. How the blood and nerve supply to the nipple is preserved. How the remaining breast tissue is shaped. The result at the end of surgery.
