Plain-English guidance on breast health, surgery and recovery - written in Miss Dua's own voice.
Who are the best candidates for breast reduction?
Most often, people come to us asking us for breast reduction surgery for their physical symptoms rather than because of the way they look.
Can you guarantee cup size?
Oh I love this weighty question. In short no, I don't work for Victoria's Secret and I am not a bra fitter.
Will my nipples be numb after surgery?
Well this is an interesting question and the result is variable to be honest. The flipside is that there will always be some women who feel very little after breast reduction surgery.
Do you ever do breast reductions in very young women?
Love this question. Forget the awards and accolades that a surgeon might aspire to.....the single greatest achievement of my life was the day I became a mummy.
How do I ensure that my breast tissue does not re-grow after surgery?
Great Question! and one that is often asked by younger women in particular. First it is NOT common.
What do I do if I find a breast problem like a lump?
Most national guidance will tell you to wait and see if the lump or pain settles on its own, but to come and see someone if after three weeks, or one cycle, it hasn't.
I have a breast problem. What happens when I come to the Brentwood Breast Clinic to meet Miss Dua?
First of all you are called in by a specialist breast care nurse who will put you at ease. Then you meet Miss Dua, who introduces herself and finds out a little more about why you are here.
I need a mastectomy - should I have a reconstruction?
So you have just received the shocking news that you need a mastectomy. I'm going to lay things out exactly the way I do in clinic.
A very important deadline!

Surgical Risks - What's Happening Under the Surface
Blood Supply Problems (One of the Most Important Risks). During breast reduction, tissue is removed and the nipple is usually left attached to a 'pedicle'.
Explant Surgery options.
People choose to remove breast implants (a procedure called explant surgery) for a range of medical, physical, and personal reasons. It's usually not just one factor.
