Elena’s ethos is summed up in this quote
“The one thing that matters most to me when I am with a patient is empathy.
“It is only when you are able to identify and understand your patients’ problems that you can begin to help resolve them satisfactorily. A good surgical outcome is not the only thing that matters. Everything that you do and say to a patient has to come from your heart.
Breast Reduction Process
As with any procedure, the process actually begins with a detailed initial consultation. This is your opportunity to talk and for Elena to listen and use her experience to recommend a best course of action.
This consultation allows you as a patient to come to a truly informed decision, you can also make a decision free of any pressure.
If a mammaplasty is booked in, it would be held at London’s wonderful Welbeck Hospital.
Typically, Elena would remove breast and fatty tissue as required and also re-shape and position the breasts to the optimal position and definition. It might be that the procedure also addresses any imbalance between the breasts.
The nipples will be repositioned, with an overall outcome of smaller, more youthful appearing breasts, breasts that are more in tune with your body shape and size.
The mammaplasty is carried out under general anaesthetic and usually takes between 90 minutes and three hours. Post surgery, a short period of recuperation is required including a couple of weeks of reduced activity.

Benefits of Breast Reduction
For those with breasts that are too large, the benefits are profound.
There is, of course, the physical change, the change to appearance. The breasts will be firmer, better proportioned, more desirable even.
Reduced breasts can also be far more comfortable. This is true in sport and exercise, but also in preventing back ache – over-sized breasts can be a constant source of strain, leading to ongoing pain.
However, the benefits can also extend far beyond this to mental health too, confidence and self-esteem. Addressing this aspect of appearance can make a woman feel happier in herself; as a leading female surgeon Elena Prousskaia realises just how important this aspect of the surgery is.
The change to attitude, confidence and happiness is one of the wonderful aspects of cosmetic surgery, seeing someone struggling with an aspect of appearance transformed into the best version of themselves.
