Breast Reduction Surgery (Reduction Mammoplasty)

Disproportionately large breasts can cause physical discomfort and emotional distress. Breast Reduction Surgery, also known as Reduction Mammoplasty, helps make breasts smaller, firmer, and more proportionate to the body while relieving chronic pain and discomfort.

Why Consider Breast Reduction?

• Neck, shoulder and back pain
• Skin irritation and crease infections under the breast
• Difficulty wearing fitted clothes
• Emotional and social discomfort
• Difficulty detecting breast lumps

Breastfeeding potential is generally maintained after surgery. Some studies suggest that reducing overall breast tissue volume may lower individual breast cancer risk.

Goals of Surgery

• Make breasts smaller and proportionate
• Improve firmness and contour
• Relieve physical discomfort
• Enhance posture and confidence

Procedure Overview

Preoperative Planning

Detailed measurements and markings are done in a sitting position to ensure ideal nipple-areola positioning and balanced breast shape.

Surgical Technique

The technique depends on breast size, tissue volume to be removed, and degree of sagging. The commonly preferred method is the vertical shortest scar technique, sometimes combined with liposuction for improved contour.

Breast Reduction with Liposuction

Breasts with predominantly fatty tissue may be reduced using liposuction with extremely fine cannulas. This method leaves minimal scarring and is suitable in selected cases.

Procedure Details

• Duration: 2 – 4 hours
• Anesthesia: General anesthesia
• Return to Work: 1 – 2 weeks
• Avoid Strenuous Activity: 4 – 6 weeks
