Most women who reach out to us about breast reduction have been thinking about it for years, not because of how their breasts look, but because of how they feel: chronic back pain, bra straps digging into their shoulders, skin rashes that keep coming back, and a discomfort that affects confidence, movement, and daily life.
COS MEDCONNECT coordinates breast reduction surgery in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, with an Australian team on the ground from your first enquiry to your flight home.
Breast reduction surgery, or reduction mammoplasty, removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to reduce breast size and weight. The nipple and areola are repositioned as part of the same procedure.
Women who consider breast reduction commonly experience:
Suitability depends on your anatomy, medical history, and goals. Your surgeon assesses all of this during your consultation.
Anchor (inverted-T) is the standard technique for moderate to significant reductions. Incisions run around the areola, vertically to the breast crease, and along the crease. Allows the greatest degree of reduction and reshaping.
Vertical (lollipop) suits moderate cases. Incisions run around the areola and straight down to the crease, with no horizontal scar along the fold.
Periareolar is used for minimal reductions only. The incision runs around the areola border and limits how much tissue can be removed.
Your surgeon will recommend the most appropriate technique during your consultation based on your anatomy and goals.
Breast reduction may be appropriate if you are in good health, maintaining a stable weight, and are experiencing symptoms related to breast size.
Surgery is generally not recommended if:
Final suitability is determined by your surgeon at consultation, not before.
Breast reduction surgery in Vietnam starts from $8,000 AUD, covering consultation, surgeon fee, anaesthetist, hospital stay, and post-operative care. Recovery accommodation is a separate selection based on your preference.

Yes, breast reduction leaves permanent scars. They typically appear red to purple in the first few months, then gradually fade over 12 months. Scars do not disappear completely, but how much they fade depends on skin tone, technique, and post-operative care.
Breast reduction carries a real risk of affecting your ability to breastfeed, and this cannot be predicted in advance. If breastfeeding is important to you, discuss this with your surgeon before proceeding so it can be factored into your decision.
Temporary changes are common and usually resolve within a few months. Permanent changes are possible but less common. Your surgeon will discuss your individual risk at the consultation.
Most patients stay 12 days. This covers surgery, overnight hospital monitoring, daily wound checks, and a final surgeon review with flight clearance before flying home.
Most patients return to desk-based work around two to three weeks. Physical roles requiring lifting should wait until surgical clearance at six weeks.
Upper body exercise avoided until six weeks with clearance. Full training from three months with surgeon approval.
Initial reduction is visible immediately. Final shape and scar appearance settle over six to twelve months as swelling resolves.
Direct flights from Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane to Ho Chi Minh City are 8 to 9 hours. The time zone difference is one to three hours depending on your city.
COS MEDCONNECT coordinates procedures at Ministry of Health-licensed hospitals, with surgeons selected for their training and surgical volume. As with all surgery, risks exist and are discussed fully at consultation. Our Australian team is on the ground throughout your stay.
