Breast Reduction TREATMENT OVERVIEW
Breast Reduction or Reduction Mammoplasty is surgery to make the breasts smaller and reduce their weight. The procedure can also reshape and lift the breasts, so they are firmer and more pert.
Breast Reduction Surgery can be life-changing, easing back pain, improving posture, and increasing body-confidence.
Generally, if you haven't completed your family, then it’s sensible to avoid this surgery. During pregnancy, the breasts increase in size, therefore negate the effects of the operation.
Talk to your surgeon to fully understand the risks and benefits of surgery. It’s important to understand that Breast reduction surgery can damage nerves and milk-producing ducts and glands, making breastfeeding difficult. If your nipple and areola are still attached to the breast tissue beneath them, then there is a greater likelihood that you'll be able to nurse. However, if the nipple was removed and then placed on a reconstructed breast, damage to the nerves, milk ducts and breast tissue may diminish sensation in your nipples and limit your milk flow.
The nerve supply to the nipples is vital to breastfeeding, as they trigger the release of hormones that affect lactation and milk let-down. The overall length of time since surgery has an effect. With increasing time, you're more likely to regain nipple sensation and produce milk.
You won’t know how your milk supply will be affected until you start trying to nurse. If you still have sensation in the nipple, then you have a much better chance of having a full supply. There are several groups out there who help and guide women who have had breast reductions and are hoping to breastfeed.
Let your baby's doctor know about your surgery. They will need to keep a close eye on your baby's weight gain.

HEALING & SCAR PROGRESSION
Scars are a natural part of the healing process. The goal is to make your scar as small and discreet as possible. It is important to remember that cosmetic surgery scars and healing progression can vary depending on the type of procedure and the individual's healing process.
It is important to follow your surgeon's post-operative instructions carefully and attend all follow-up appointments to ensure the best possible healing and cosmetic results.
YOUR SIMPLE
5 STEP
JOURNEY
YOUR SIMPLE 5 STEP JOURNEY
Step 1. Free, no-obligation consultation
Bella Vou offers every client a free consultation with an accredited cosmetic surgeon. There is no obligation to proceed to treatment. The consultation is an opportunity to discuss the concerns you have with your body and the size you would like your breasts to be,
The expert aesthetic surgeon will evaluate your breast volume and position, your skin elasticity, the size and position of the areola, and your body shape. They will plan surgery to ensure the breast looks natural, in proportion, and correctly placed on the chest. Mr Amir Nakhdjevani says:
‘We make sure that we advise people correctly about whether surgery is right for them. We treat everyone as if they were our family. At Bella Vou, we never pressurise people or try to sell procedures. It's always about giving an honest opinion and honest advice.’
Step 2. Meet your surgeon
You will be offered a further appointment with your consultant before proceeding to Breast Reduction. This will give you a chance to find out more about the procedure and to ask any questions you may have.
The specialist surgeon will take your medical history, examine your breasts to check for lumps, and ensure you’re healthy and fit for surgery.
Step 3. Preparation for Breast Reduction
The Bella Vou team will give you individual pre-operative advice to reduce your chance of bleeding and infection. As soon as your operation time is set, they’ll also let you know when to stop eating and drinking in preparation for your general anaesthetic
It’s essential to tell the team if you're on any medications. You may be asked to stop taking aspirin or anti-inflammatory tablets, which can increase the risk of bruising. It's also important to stop smoking cigarettes and e-cigarettes before and after surgery because they can disrupt the healing process.
On the day of your surgery, you’ll be welcomed to Bella Vou, given a gown to wear and escorted to the state-of-the-art operating theatre.
Step 4. What happens during Breast Reduction?
Breast Reduction is carried out under general anaesthetic. You may need to spend one night in hospital to rest and recover.
The type of incision will depend on the size of your breasts, the look you want, and the amount of tissue to be removed. The surgeons usually use one of two types of incision:
The anchor incision is most frequently used. This is around the areola, extending vertically down to the natural breast crease and horizontally across the crease.
Lollipop incision results in smaller scarring. There is a circular scar around the areola, which extend in a downward vertical scar to the breast crease. Both scars heal well and usually fade to become unobtrusive.
The surgeon will excise excess fat, skin, and glandular tissue from the underneath and sides of the breasts. They will carefully measure the breast volume and plan the amount to be removed before your surgery, to ensure you get the results you want.
Your consultant will then lift and reshape the breasts to achieve a natural, youthful contour. They will also reposition the nipples and areola to enhance and rejuvenate the breasts. The size of the areola can also be decreased to suit the proportions and shape of your new breasts.
The surgeon will suture the incisions closed using absorbable sutures that don't need to be removed. Finally, a dressing and supportive sports bra are applied.
Step 5. Recovery from Breast Reduction
You may need to stay in hospital overnight following the operation. The staff at Bella Vou will offer safe and effective pain relief, carefully monitor your recovery, and provide support every step of the way
You will be given a supportive sports bra to protect the breasts and maintain your comfort as you heal. After one week, the nurse and wound care specialist will check your breasts and the scars. After two weeks, you will be able to increase activity gradually. However, excess arm movement and strenuous or repetitive activity should be avoided for up to six weeks, when you should be able to return to your usual routine.
At around six weeks, your surgeon will check your progress and ensure that you are healthy and happy with your results. The Bella Vou staff are always available if you have problems or questions at any time.

Amir and his wonderful team are amazing! He is kind, clear and very honest about what he can do and what the results would be like. He and his team were welcoming, attentive, gentle and very kind during both my procedure, and my recovery from breast reduction. I was in no pain, and any little concerns were removed by chatting to one of the team. I even phoned the nurse for advice on New Year’s Day, and she was so helpful! The whole experience is second to none, and I would wholeheartedly recommend Bella Vou to anyone who is looking to have cosmetic surgery. I certainly wouldn’t go anywhere else.

Amir is amazing! I’ve felt supported and cared for since my first consultation. I wanted the procedure done for years but didn’t have the confidence to see anyone. During the initial consultation, Amir made me feel comfortable by explaining the procedure in a very detailed but light hearted way. I was extremely nervous on the day of surgery but I felt reassured when Amir came to see me and knew I was in good hands. I’m still recovering from the reduction and although it will take time to heal I know that what he has done has changed my life and I’m so grateful for that.

Well, Amir is just a genius at what he does! I’ve been wanting a breast reduction for many years, and finally, after lots of research, went to Bella Vou and had a consultation with Amir. I instantly felt at ease with him, the consultation was personalised to what he could do for me, whilst also listening to what I wanted as my end result. I was so happy that I booked my surgery date straight after the appointment!! I’m now just under 3 weeks post op and, honestly, I’m so happy with the results – I mean, really in love with them! They look incredible already, and still have a way to go in terms of healing. Amir really worked his magic!! This surgery is life changing and absolutely worth it. I just wish I’d done it sooner. The whole team at Bella Vou are outstanding and the attention to detail, is next level. Thank you, Amir, for changing my life. And thank you to the team for caring for me.

… From that moment of enquiry I received THE BEST service. Every member of the team I spoke to over the phone was so sweet and helpful. I instantly felt at ease… Amir greeted me with a big friendly smile! The examination lasted a minute or so and it didn’t feel awkward at all, as I imagined it would… Once Paddy has dropped me off I was greeted by Noula who saw me to my beautiful room! I felt right at home, and not like I was in a hospital. I received a gift and card on my bed which made me smile! I really didn’t expect such a wonderful greeting. I was seen by Scott again who got me ready for my surgery, and kept me laughing the whole time… Before I knew it I was waking up in my bed with Scott holding my hand and two wonderful nurses fluffing my pillows. I didn’t feel sick or dizzy at all, just very heavy headed and tired… Before my shower I had an opportunity to see my new boobs.. I cried. I was so happy… I went home with a bag of meds and other goodies that would help me on my healing journey… I wasn’t just someone going on for a procedure and being sent on my way immediately after. I felt like they really cared about how I was doing and that made such a difference… My life is forever changed, and it’s all thanks to the people at Bella Vou… They are amazing people, doing amazing things and I cannot thank them all enough. Im so happy with my results… I am so confident in the care that Bella Vou provide that I would recommend them to anyone considering surgery.

My journey with Amir and all of the Bella Vou team has been fantastic. They are so helpful, clear and supportive. From day one there hasn’t been a single doubt of their commitment to my care. They are so friendly and respectful and do absolutely everything to make you feel welcomed and safe. Amir was so clear and informative in my initial consultation, and every appointment since has been handled with care and professionalism. The day of my surgery the team sent a chauffeur to pick up me and my mum (free of charge). I was terrified and literally everyone took every care to help me into the theatre and feel okay. Lesley even gave me a hug because she could see how afraid I was. The procedure honestly went perfectly, Amir is an artist. I’m glad I trusted him with reshaping my breast to the perfect shape and size for my frame… Since my life has been transformed, and every time I go back for a follow up, the team can see how happy I am and check in on me. The free lymphatic massages included with the procedure have been incredible and I love chatting with Renata during. I am so grateful I went with Bella Vou. The team help you work towards you body goals and everyone from the person who welcomes you at the front door, to the photographer, to the incredible clinicians are just so warm and kind.

From the moment you walk into clinic, everyone treats you in a friendly and professional way, you could not be made more welcome. Amir is a lovely man who explains everything very clearly and treats you with respect. He is an excellent surgeon and I could not be more happy with the results. You are able to come into clinic as many times as you need, post surgery with any concerns you have, and are never made to feel a nuisance. I hasten to add, I had no major problems at all, but having never had surgery before, in the first few weeks had one or two queries. I would happily recommend Amir and his wonderful team to you.

I have followed Bella Vou for years on social media. I hated my beasts most of my life, like most of us we just put up with it! So one day I grabbed the bull by the horns and sent an enquiry! The rest is history. I am only six weeks on and I am so happy with them. It is the best thing I have ever done! I can wear normal-size bras, bikinis, sports bras and pretty little dresses! The service has been exceptional from start to finish. I would recommend Bella Vou without a doubt!
Thank you.

After 10 years of careful consideration, I finally decided to have a breast lift and reduction. I have always had large breasts and they progressively made it hard to feel comfortable in my own body as they became increasingly saggy. Constant back pain, poor posture, dents in my shoulders from my bra, not being able to wear certain clothes, are all reasons that lead me to a breast lift and reduction. My experience throughout the surgical journey was very positive and something I am excited to talk about and share… I knew as soon as I met Dr. Nakhdjevani that he was going to be my surgeon and I was in safe hands, I trusted his judgement and was reassured by all the professionals at Bella Vou. He was very thorough and honest in his explanations and made sure I understood everything during our appointments. He is extremely meticulous which was very reassuring for me… I loved my experience at Bella Vou, the clinic it self is immaculate, the atmosphere welcoming and has the feel that you are at a 5* hotel. There are no words to describe the confidence I have gained following the breast reduction. The impact it has had on me physically, emotionally and mentally is astronomical. I’m so in love with my results and so happy to have found Dr. Nakhdjevani… all the staff at Bella Vou surpassed all my expectations! Thank you x

I had been wanting to get a breast reduction for many years but was unable to find a surgeon who I felt safe with. Immediately after finding Dr Amir and going for a consultation I knew that I would be going with him for my surgery. From start to finish I have been impressed. The team are helpful, kind and attentive. Dr Amir gave lots of advice and is always available to talk to if I had any worries or queries regarding aftercare. I went from a 32GG to 34C which has hugely helped with my confidence. I am so happy with the results and couldn’t recommend Bella Vou enough! Thank you to all the team at Bella Vou!

Had a breast reduction and uplift, with Amir Sadr on the 22nd Feb 2022 at Bella Vou Tunbridge Wells. What a fantastic surgeon he was from the first time I met him and even after. They always listened to me, and was always at the end of a phone if i had any questions to ask him. I was a 32GG wanted to be a C/D cup and that’s what he exactly got me down to. After care is fantastic. Also Bella Vou where i had my surgery is beautiful all the staff are so lovely and friendly. Would definitely recommend them and Amir Sadr.

I decided at 12 that I was going to get a breast reduction, however knew it was best to wait until I had finished university. The long wait gave me time to research all the surgeons in my area and decide who fit my needs best. I ended up with 3 I wanted to see and my first appointment was at Bella Vou. Amir was the only male surgeon I was seeing so was very nervous however as soon as I entered Bella Vou all my anxiety instantly lifted. My initial meet with Amir was so positive I cancelled my two other consultations that day and booked my surgery date in with him! He is an awesome guy and I have never met someone so passionate about their job, he is such a perfectionist and has given me so much confidence in my body that I didn’t know I could have. I am only 3 weeks post op but I am wildly in love with my new boobs! every time I look at them I am in shock they are mine, the whole experience still feels so surreal (in the best way). The whole team at Bella Vou have been so warm and supportive and I just couldn’t imagine going through this journey with any other group of people.
I couldn’t recommend Amir Sadr and Bella Vou more, they have changed my life.

My experience at Bella Vou was incredible, I waited several years before going ahead with my breast reduction surgery because I was absolutely petrified. I knew the moment I went into Bella Vou and met Amir and his fabulous team, I would be looked after.
The pre-operation process was easy and not daunting, the procedure was smooth and I was fully informed about the recovery. Amir and his team provided me with gold-level service. I can not thank them enough.

Amir Nakhdjevani is a surgeon with excellent talent and professional integrity. I would say these are the two most important things to look for when trusting someone with your body. I have had surgeries performed by Amir (tummy tuck, breast reduction, liposuction of chin, arms, thighs, back, and buccal fat reduction). I have also spoken to Amir about other procedures I was interested in, but he was very honest and said the risks and expected outcomes wouldn’t make it worth my money/time/risk. I very much appreciate this honesty and transparency in a consultant, as many others I’m sure would be happy to take my money and not be concerned about the outcome. Everyone at the Bella Vou clinic is very kind and seems to genuinely care about you as a patient. It sounds strange to say, but I have enjoyed my surgery journey and I feel very happy that I chose Amir Nakhdjevani and Bella Vou.

Beyond wonderful in every way. Amir is a wonderful surgeon, as well as a lovely man and he has truly changed my life by giving me the boobs I have dreamed of having forever. I was calm cool and collected when I went under because I knew I could trust Amir to deliver exactly what I wanted, he has done just that and so so so much more. From the first consultation, he went through absolutely everything with me thoroughly, I felt informed throughout, rather then just showing me all perfect images and “salesman” stuff, he also showed me the potential risks and what could go wrong with my recovery due to certain risk factors, so I felt fully informed before making my decision. This was important to me. I had been for 3 other consultations elsewhere and no other surgeon explained to me as well as Amir did. As well as this, Amir takes so much pride in his work and its very clear when he shows you his photos of his previous patients. I know im not fully recovered yet and I may have to go back but I know im in safe hands with this man as my surgeon. I am absolutely delighted with my boobs, the way I was treated throughout my surgery and my overall experience. Amir has been wonderful in every possible way, I know I can contact him and his team day and night if I have any worries or concerns. It’s hard to put into words what this man has done for me and my confidence as a woman, a mother and a wife. Truly life changing. Thank you.

Absolutely excellent. I found about Bella Vou very indirectly via a friend who wanted to talk to Amir about another procedure so thought I would come and talk to him about breast reduction. He was immensely professional, reassuring and i felt instinctively that he would create the look i was hoping for having had two breast lifts by another surgeon, the latter being very unsatisfactory. Two weeks on, I am truly thrilled with the results and have had very little pain or discomfort. I would highly recommend Amir and the whole team at Bella Vou as being first class before, during and after.

I had a breast reduction by Amir yesterday and the whole experience from start to finish has been amazing. Big shout out to Scott and CJ who was great at looking after me and made me feel completely at ease. The customer care is out of this world and the talent of Amir is unbelievable! I couldn’t be happier and definitely recommend Bella Vou to everyone!
Thank you to everyone at Bella Vou!

I’ve had a Breasts Reduction Surgery at Bella Vou 6 weeks ago. It has been life changing experience. I suffered with back pain and shoulders pain for years due to bad posture from the heavy weight of my breasts… All the staff were friendly, professional and caring. I received fantastic support, especially from the night staff, whom were checking on me frequently to make sure that I was ok. Dr Amir was very friendly, skilful and he achieved everything what I wanted. I couldn’t be happier now. I gained lots of confidence with my body and my back pain is gone. It has only been 6 weeks since the surgery but I am already fully recovered and back to doing my daily routine. The communication with the clinic has been at very high standard throughout my treatment journey. I couldn’t imagine going abroad to have my surgery done as this amazing Bella Vou clinic is just on the doorstep. In regards to the cost, it was worth every penny and I even felt that I’ve underpaid when I’ve left the clinic fed, well rested with amazing body and post surgical bra included in the price. I would do it all again. THANK YOU Bella Vou.

… My journey started with Amir and his team last year, August 2019 when I chose him as my surgeon to have a breast reduction. This operation was something I had wanted for over 15 years at this point after developing large breasts very young and having maintained my weight continuously after losing 5 stone in the 2 years prior. As soon as I met Amir and his team I was made to feel like I had known them forever. No questions were too big or small and I often found myself having a text or phone call after some pre-op anxiety from one of the team, sometimes even Amir himself! Absolutely nothing is too much trouble for them and I know that in the future I wouldn’t go to anyone else. I travel to Bella Vou from Birmingham which is quite a distance but every time I arrive you forget the journey immediately. I will never have the words for the way that Bella Vou have changed my life- I am still on a long road to being able to love myself but I am now in a body which that has become a realistic goal! I have met people on this journey that I genuinely believe have made me a better person in so many ways. It isn’t a team you visit, it’s a family. I look forward to the future now, to things that I used to dread because of the body I was trapped in. I love you all so very, very much. Rosie xxx

Amir and his team are in a class of their own. This surgery has changed my life – I am over the moon and can’t praise everyone at Bella Vou enough. As they say on their website, you arrive as a client and leave as family – everyone you meet there is simply FAB and makes you feel special, cared for and in the best possible hands. Four days after my surgery I was back at work (albeit working from home), feeling amazing and just over the moon that I had gone ahead with this procedure. If you are thinking of having a boob reduction – please contact Amir and his team – the only regret you will ever have is that you did not do it sooner.

From first speaking to Amir and his team I was instantly looked after with the very best of care possible… This operation is something that I had wanted since a young age due to my breasts never forming properly and too large and being something that caused me a lot of pain and meant I had absolutely zero body confidence, every day of my life… Amir talked me through the surgery afterwards and checked the following day for any bleeds of which there were none, once I had managed to have some food I was sent home to recover! At home I was quite sore but this is to be expected with any sort of surgery. I have been managing the discomfort with ibuprofen and paracetamol when needed and have just been making sure that so rest and listen to my body!! The hardest thing has been sleeping elevated on my back but I have managed this with lots of pillows and cushions and I’m slowly getting better at it!.. I am so grateful for everything they have all done and the way they have treated me throughout the entire process to date… Already I feel like a different life is ahead of me where I will be able to wear what clothes I like, not worry about constant back pain, and most importantly for me I can look in the mirror and keep my eyes open!

Dr Schumacher was recommended to me by a friend and I can’t thank my friend enough for the recommendation. Not only did I have a professional consultation, but Dr Schumacher kept in contact with me right up to the operation date and afterwards. He really gives a personal approach and makes himself available to answer questions at any time… On the day of the op I was his last surgery of the day and even though he lives over an hour away from the hospital, he stayed at the hospital during my recovery period to ensure I was ok. Even the nurses commented that this is over and above what many other surgeons do and shows he is a good Doctor. He also took the time to contact my partner to let him know I was ok. His after care didn’t stop there as Dr Schumacher rang the hospital that night to check I was ok before he went to bed, and rang them again first thing the next morning to check I was ok before they discharged me… I wish I had found him years ago as had been putting this surgery off for fear of anaesthetic!… I can’t recommend Dr Schumacher enough, The surgery went perfectly and looks great…

I had a breast reduction last week with dr Schumacher and I couldn’t be happier. I have been putting this surgery off for a very long time. I was a 34 L and was in agony with my back, neck and shoulders. I have seen many surgeons over the years and never felt comfortable with any of them… When I met Dr Schumacher I immediately felt at ease and very comfortable with him. I told him my worries about surgery and Dr Schumacher gave me exercises to do at home to help with anxiety for the day of surgery. On my surgery day I saw Dr Schumacher and he made me feel at ease and he made me feel really calm. I saw Dr boon who was the anesthetist and again told him my concerns and he immediately started making me laugh and made me feel really safe and comfortable with him. I went down to theatre and Dr Schumacher, Dr Boon and his assistant made me laugh up until I went to sleep, I didn’t even realise that Dr Boon had put my IV in and before I knew it I was going to sleep. The whole process was a lot less painful then I imagined, it was easy and quite relaxing. I wish I had met dr Schumacher years ago, he has changed my life and I want to thank him for everything he has done for me. Highly recommend dr Schumacher.

As well as being the most kind and compassionate man Amir is an exceptional surgeon.

I found Mr Schumacher an excellent surgeon. He listen to what I wanted to achieve from my breast reduction surgery and also gave advice as to what what suit my frame best. I am extremely please with the outcome. In the appointments leading up to my surgery on the day of the surgery and follow up appointments his I felt extremely comfortable, able to ask as many questions as I liked and felt I was the only patient that mattered. Dr Schumacher was kind, caring and very professional at all times

Many women can relate to feeling uncomfortable, top-heavy and unable (or too self conscious) to play sport due to an over sized chest. While many women discussed breast enlargement, I dreamed of breast reduction, but fear always got the better of me, I was overwhelmed with a sense of dread whenever considering surgery and a general anaesthetic. Fortunately, I bumped into a longstanding acquaintance and, before long, we stumbled onto the subject of plastic surgery. My dear friend shared her experience with a, as she termed, ‘outstanding and highly respected surgeon’ and immediately, I was ‘all ears’. It was a whirlwind, from that moment. I was in consultation within a week (although they are unbelievably busy, they try desperately to be accommodating) and in surgery within a month. I am now well recovered and enjoying a new lease of life. My weekly routine of coffee mornings and luncheons have been traded for tennis, swimming and golf. The greatest indulgence has been an entire new wardrobe. Amir Nakhdjevani has given me a new life, one that is thoroughly enjoyable, with no aching back or shoulders and every reason to dress up and dance. Thank you Bella Vou and thank you Amir.

I was so happy that I booked my surgery date straight after the appointment!! I’m now just under 3 weeks post op and, honestly, I’m so happy with the results – I mean, really in love with them! They look incredible already, and still have a way to go in terms of healing. Amir really worked his magic!! This surgery is life changing and absolutely worth it. I just wish I’d done it sooner. The whole team at Bella Vou are outstanding and the attention to detail, is next level. Thank you, Amir, for changing my life. And thank you to the team for caring for me.

… From that moment of enquiry I received THE BEST service. Every member of the team I spoke to over the phone was so sweet and helpful. I instantly felt at ease… Amir greeted me with a big friendly smile! The examination lasted a minute or so and it didn’t feel awkward at all, as I imagined it would… Once Paddy has dropped me off I was greeted by Noula who saw me to my beautiful room! I felt right at home, and not like I was in a hospital. I received a gift and card on my bed which made me smile! I really didn’t expect such a wonderful greeting. I was seen by Scott again who got me ready for my surgery, and kept me laughing the whole time… Before I knew it I was waking up in my bed with Scott holding my hand and two wonderful nurses fluffing my pillows. I didn’t feel sick or dizzy at all, just very heavy headed and tired… Before my shower I had an opportunity to see my new boobs.. I cried. I was so happy… I went home with a bag of meds and other goodies that would help me on my healing journey… I wasn’t just someone going on for a procedure and being sent on my way immediately after. I felt like they really cared about how I was doing and that made such a difference… My life is forever changed, and it’s all thanks to the people at Bella Vou… They are amazing people, doing amazing things and I cannot thank them all enough. Im so happy with my results… I am so confident in the care that Bella Vou provide that I would recommend them to anyone considering surgery.

My journey with Amir and all of the Bella Vou team has been fantastic. They are so helpful, clear and supportive. From day one there hasn’t been a single doubt of their commitment to my care. They are so friendly and respectful and do absolutely everything to make you feel welcomed and safe. Amir was so clear and informative in my initial consultation, and every appointment since has been handled with care and professionalism. The day of my surgery the team sent a chauffeur to pick up me and my mum (free of charge). I was terrified and literally everyone took every care to help me into the theatre and feel okay. Lesley even gave me a hug because she could see how afraid I was. The procedure honestly went perfectly, Amir is an artist. I’m glad I trusted him with reshaping my breast to the perfect shape and size for my frame… Since my life has been transformed, and every time I go back for a follow up, the team can see how happy I am and check in on me. The free lymphatic massages included with the procedure have been incredible and I love chatting with Renata during. I am so grateful I went with Bella Vou. The team help you work towards you body goals and everyone from the person who welcomes you at the front door, to the photographer, to the incredible clinicians are just so warm and kind.

From the moment you walk into clinic, everyone treats you in a friendly and professional way, you could not be made more welcome. Amir is a lovely man who explains everything very clearly and treats you with respect. He is an excellent surgeon and I could not be more happy with the results. You are able to come into clinic as many times as you need, post surgery with any concerns you have, and are never made to feel a nuisance. I hasten to add, I had no major problems at all, but having never had surgery before, in the first few weeks had one or two queries. I would happily recommend Amir and his wonderful team to you.

I have followed Bella Vou for years on social media. I hated my beasts most of my life, like most of us we just put up with it! So one day I grabbed the bull by the horns and sent an enquiry! The rest is history. I am only six weeks on and I am so happy with them. It is the best thing I have ever done! I can wear normal-size bras, bikinis, sports bras and pretty little dresses! The service has been exceptional from start to finish. I would recommend Bella Vou without a doubt!
Thank you.

I would happily recommend Bella Vou to anyone who is thinking of having a surgery.

After 10 years of careful consideration, I finally decided to have a breast lift and reduction. I have always had large breasts and they progressively made it hard to feel comfortable in my own body as they became increasingly saggy. Constant back pain, poor posture, dents in my shoulders from my bra, not being able to wear certain clothes, are all reasons that lead me to a breast lift and reduction. My experience throughout the surgical journey was very positive and something I am excited to talk about and share… I knew as soon as I met Dr. Nakhdjevani that he was going to be my surgeon and I was in safe hands, I trusted his judgement and was reassured by all the professionals at Bella Vou. He was very thorough and honest in his explanations and made sure I understood everything during our appointments. He is extremely meticulous which was very reassuring for me… I loved my experience at Bella Vou, the clinic it self is immaculate, the atmosphere welcoming and has the feel that you are at a 5* hotel. There are no words to describe the confidence I have gained following the breast reduction. The impact it has had on me physically, emotionally and mentally is astronomical. I’m so in love with my results and so happy to have found Dr. Nakhdjevani… all the staff at Bella Vou surpassed all my expectations! Thank you x

I had been wanting to get a breast reduction for many years but was unable to find a surgeon who I felt safe with. Immediately after finding Dr Amir and going for a consultation I knew that I would be going with him for my surgery. From start to finish I have been impressed. The team are helpful, kind and attentive. Dr Amir gave lots of advice and is always available to talk to if I had any worries or queries regarding aftercare. I went from a 32GG to 34C which has hugely helped with my confidence. I am so happy with the results and couldn’t recommend Bella Vou enough! Thank you to all the team at Bella Vou!

Had a breast reduction and uplift, with Amir Sadr on the 22nd Feb 2022 at Bella Vou Tunbridge Wells. What a fantastic surgeon he was from the first time I met him and even after. They always listened to me, and was always at the end of a phone if i had any questions to ask him. I was a 32GG wanted to be a C/D cup and that’s what he exactly got me down to. After care is fantastic. Also Bella Vou where i had my surgery is beautiful all the staff are so lovely and friendly. Would definitely recommend them and Amir Sadr.

I decided at 12 that I was going to get a breast reduction, however knew it was best to wait until I had finished university. The long wait gave me time to research all the surgeons in my area and decide who fit my needs best. I ended up with 3 I wanted to see and my first appointment was at Bella Vou. Amir was the only male surgeon I was seeing so was very nervous however as soon as I entered Bella Vou all my anxiety instantly lifted. My initial meet with Amir was so positive I cancelled my two other consultations that day and booked my surgery date in with him! He is an awesome guy and I have never met someone so passionate about their job, he is such a perfectionist and has given me so much confidence in my body that I didn’t know I could have. I am only 3 weeks post op but I am wildly in love with my new boobs! every time I look at them I am in shock they are mine, the whole experience still feels so surreal (in the best way). The whole team at Bella Vou have been so warm and supportive and I just couldn’t imagine going through this journey with any other group of people.
I couldn’t recommend Amir Sadr and Bella Vou more, they have changed my life.

My experience at Bella Vou was incredible, I waited several years before going ahead with my breast reduction surgery because I was absolutely petrified. I knew the moment I went into Bella Vou and met Amir and his fabulous team, I would be looked after.
The pre-operation process was easy and not daunting, the procedure was smooth and I was fully informed about the recovery. Amir and his team provided me with gold-level service. I can not thank them enough.

Amir Nakhdjevani is a surgeon with excellent talent and professional integrity. I would say these are the two most important things to look for when trusting someone with your body. I have had surgeries performed by Amir (tummy tuck, breast reduction, liposuction of chin, arms, thighs, back, and buccal fat reduction). I have also spoken to Amir about other procedures I was interested in, but he was very honest and said the risks and expected outcomes wouldn’t make it worth my money/time/risk. I very much appreciate this honesty and transparency in a consultant, as many others I’m sure would be happy to take my money and not be concerned about the outcome. Everyone at the Bella Vou clinic is very kind and seems to genuinely care about you as a patient. It sounds strange to say, but I have enjoyed my surgery journey and I feel very happy that I chose Amir Nakhdjevani and Bella Vou.

Beyond wonderful in every way. Amir is a wonderful surgeon, as well as a lovely man and he has truly changed my life by giving me the boobs I have dreamed of having forever. I was calm cool and collected when I went under because I knew I could trust Amir to deliver exactly what I wanted, he has done just that and so so so much more. From the first consultation, he went through absolutely everything with me thoroughly, I felt informed throughout, rather then just showing me all perfect images and “salesman” stuff, he also showed me the potential risks and what could go wrong with my recovery due to certain risk factors, so I felt fully informed before making my decision. This was important to me. I had been for 3 other consultations elsewhere and no other surgeon explained to me as well as Amir did. As well as this, Amir takes so much pride in his work and its very clear when he shows you his photos of his previous patients. I know im not fully recovered yet and I may have to go back but I know im in safe hands with this man as my surgeon. I am absolutely delighted with my boobs, the way I was treated throughout my surgery and my overall experience. Amir has been wonderful in every possible way, I know I can contact him and his team day and night if I have any worries or concerns. It’s hard to put into words what this man has done for me and my confidence as a woman, a mother and a wife. Truly life changing. Thank you.

Absolutely excellent. I found about Bella Vou very indirectly via a friend who wanted to talk to Amir about another procedure so thought I would come and talk to him about breast reduction. He was immensely professional, reassuring and i felt instinctively that he would create the look i was hoping for having had two breast lifts by another surgeon, the latter being very unsatisfactory. Two weeks on, I am truly thrilled with the results and have had very little pain or discomfort. I would highly recommend Amir and the whole team at Bella Vou as being first class before, during and after.

Big shout out to Scott and CJ who was great at looking after me and made me feel completely at ease. The customer care is out of this world and the talent of Amir is unbelievable! I couldn’t be happier and definitely recommend Bella Vou to everyone!
Thank you to everyone at Bella Vou!

I’ve had a Breasts Reduction Surgery at Bella Vou 6 weeks ago. It has been life changing experience. I suffered with back pain and shoulders pain for years due to bad posture from the heavy weight of my breasts… All the staff were friendly, professional and caring. I received fantastic support, especially from the night staff, whom were checking on me frequently to make sure that I was ok. Dr Amir was very friendly, skilful and he achieved everything what I wanted. I couldn’t be happier now. I gained lots of confidence with my body and my back pain is gone. It has only been 6 weeks since the surgery but I am already fully recovered and back to doing my daily routine. The communication with the clinic has been at very high standard throughout my treatment journey. I couldn’t imagine going abroad to have my surgery done as this amazing Bella Vou clinic is just on the doorstep. In regards to the cost, it was worth every penny and I even felt that I’ve underpaid when I’ve left the clinic fed, well rested with amazing body and post surgical bra included in the price. I would do it all again. THANK YOU Bella Vou.

So I am 3 weeks since my op I had no pain I had VDL and boob job best thing I did. Didn’t even notice I had a boob job no pain I must admit I was a little uncomfortable with my stomach but no pain so happy. Only problem is one part of my scar not healing great Dr Amir has been great seeing me all the time keeping an eye on it and so now I have a vacuum pack on to help the smallest part to heal. Everything else has healed so well the boobs look great and I am so happy. Bella Vou has been the best, nothing too much for them email them and they reply straight away, call they help I highly recommend feel like I have been looked after so well, and it shows with the results I have.

… My journey started with Amir and his team last year, August 2019 when I chose him as my surgeon to have a breast reduction. This operation was something I had wanted for over 15 years at this point after developing large breasts very young and having maintained my weight continuously after losing 5 stone in the 2 years prior. As soon as I met Amir and his team I was made to feel like I had known them forever. No questions were too big or small and I often found myself having a text or phone call after some pre-op anxiety from one of the team, sometimes even Amir himself! Absolutely nothing is too much trouble for them and I know that in the future I wouldn’t go to anyone else. I travel to Bella Vou from Birmingham which is quite a distance but every time I arrive you forget the journey immediately. I will never have the words for the way that Bella Vou have changed my life- I am still on a long road to being able to love myself but I am now in a body which that has become a realistic goal! I have met people on this journey that I genuinely believe have made me a better person in so many ways. It isn’t a team you visit, it’s a family. I look forward to the future now, to things that I used to dread because of the body I was trapped in. I love you all so very, very much. Rosie xxx

Amir and his team are in a class of their own. This surgery has changed my life – I am over the moon and can’t praise everyone at Bella Vou enough. As they say on their website, you arrive as a client and leave as family – everyone you meet there is simply FAB and makes you feel special, cared for and in the best possible hands. Four days after my surgery I was back at work (albeit working from home), feeling amazing and just over the moon that I had gone ahead with this procedure. If you are thinking of having a boob reduction – please contact Amir and his team – the only regret you will ever have is that you did not do it sooner.

From first speaking to Amir and his team I was instantly looked after with the very best of care possible… This operation is something that I had wanted since a young age due to my breasts never forming properly and too large and being something that caused me a lot of pain and meant I had absolutely zero body confidence, every day of my life… Amir talked me through the surgery afterwards and checked the following day for any bleeds of which there were none, once I had managed to have some food I was sent home to recover! At home I was quite sore but this is to be expected with any sort of surgery. I have been managing the discomfort with ibuprofen and paracetamol when needed and have just been making sure that so rest and listen to my body!! The hardest thing has been sleeping elevated on my back but I have managed this with lots of pillows and cushions and I’m slowly getting better at it!.. I am so grateful for everything they have all done and the way they have treated me throughout the entire process to date… Already I feel like a different life is ahead of me where I will be able to wear what clothes I like, not worry about constant back pain, and most importantly for me I can look in the mirror and keep my eyes open!

Dr Schumacher was recommended to me by a friend and I can’t thank my friend enough for the recommendation. Not only did I have a professional consultation, but Dr Schumacher kept in contact with me right up to the operation date and afterwards. He really gives a personal approach and makes himself available to answer questions at any time… On the day of the op I was his last surgery of the day and even though he lives over an hour away from the hospital, he stayed at the hospital during my recovery period to ensure I was ok. Even the nurses commented that this is over and above what many other surgeons do and shows he is a good Doctor. He also took the time to contact my partner to let him know I was ok. His after care didn’t stop there as Dr Schumacher rang the hospital that night to check I was ok before he went to bed, and rang them again first thing the next morning to check I was ok before they discharged me… I wish I had found him years ago as had been putting this surgery off for fear of anaesthetic!… I can’t recommend Dr Schumacher enough, The surgery went perfectly and looks great…

I had a breast reduction last week with dr Schumacher and I couldn’t be happier. I have been putting this surgery off for a very long time. I was a 34 L and was in agony with my back, neck and shoulders. I have seen many surgeons over the years and never felt comfortable with any of them… When I met Dr Schumacher I immediately felt at ease and very comfortable with him. I told him my worries about surgery and Dr Schumacher gave me exercises to do at home to help with anxiety for the day of surgery. On my surgery day I saw Dr Schumacher and he made me feel at ease and he made me feel really calm. I saw Dr boon who was the anesthetist and again told him my concerns and he immediately started making me laugh and made me feel really safe and comfortable with him. I went down to theatre and Dr Schumacher, Dr Boon and his assistant made me laugh up until I went to sleep, I didn’t even realise that Dr Boon had put my IV in and before I knew it I was going to sleep. The whole process was a lot less painful then I imagined, it was easy and quite relaxing. I wish I had met dr Schumacher years ago, he has changed my life and I want to thank him for everything he has done for me. Highly recommend dr Schumacher.

As well as being the most kind and compassionate man Amir is an exceptional surgeon.

I found Mr Schumacher an excellent surgeon. He listen to what I wanted to achieve from my breast reduction surgery and also gave advice as to what what suit my frame best. I am extremely please with the outcome. In the appointments leading up to my surgery on the day of the surgery and follow up appointments his I felt extremely comfortable, able to ask as many questions as I liked and felt I was the only patient that mattered. Dr Schumacher was kind, caring and very professional at all times

Many women can relate to feeling uncomfortable, top-heavy and unable (or too self conscious) to play sport due to an over sized chest. While many women discussed breast enlargement, I dreamed of breast reduction, but fear always got the better of me, I was overwhelmed with a sense of dread whenever considering surgery and a general anaesthetic. Fortunately, I bumped into a longstanding acquaintance and, before long, we stumbled onto the subject of plastic surgery. My dear friend shared her experience with a, as she termed, ‘outstanding and highly respected surgeon’ and immediately, I was ‘all ears’. It was a whirlwind, from that moment. I was in consultation within a week (although they are unbelievably busy, they try desperately to be accommodating) and in surgery within a month. I am now well recovered and enjoying a new lease of life. My weekly routine of coffee mornings and luncheons have been traded for tennis, swimming and golf. The greatest indulgence has been an entire new wardrobe. Amir Nakhdjevani has given me a new life, one that is thoroughly enjoyable, with no aching back or shoulders and every reason to dress up and dance. Thank you Bella Vou and thank you Amir.
