If your breasts are getting heavy and causing hindrances to regular activities, you can choose breast reduction surgery to reduce the size and volume of the breasts.

Reduction mammoplasty, popularly known as breast reduction surgery, aims to give aesthetic breasts complementing or proportionate to your body. Breast reduction in Gurgaon and elsewhere helps reduce the heavy breasts that can affect the body structure and lead to severe neck and back pain. Larger breasts also contribute to low confidence and can make one self-conscious.

Breast reduction surgery removes extra fat, tissues, and skin of the breasts to ease discomfort and achieve the desired breast size.

While addressing the aesthetic and health issues, breast reduction surgery may be considered in the following cases.

• If one breast is larger comparatively than the other
• If breasts look larger than normal
• If heavy breasts cause chronic problems related to neck and back pain
• If you feel your breasts are heavy and have stretch marks over them
• If you have saggy or drooping breasts which are very heavy
• Heavy breasts developed post-pregnancy

Why Breast Reduction?

Breast reduction surgery is usually preferred by people who have problems related to large breast size.

Women with heavy, uneven breasts can have issues like:

• Chronic neck and back aches,
• Constant shoulder pain,
• Grooves under the breasts and on shoulders from bra straps,
• Skin rashes or irritation under the breasts,
• Radiating nerve pain,
• Breast soreness while performing certain activities,
• Reduced self-image and confidence,
• Bras and clothing become too tight and suffocating.

Breast reduction surgery, medically termed mammoplasty, eliminates fat and breast tissues from heavy, large breasts. This helps ease the pain and discomfort of large, sagging breasts while improving one’s appearance and self-image.

Preparing for Breast Reduction Surgery (Pre, During & Post)

Here is what one can expect pre, post, and during a breast reduction surgery.

Before Breast reduction surgery

While you prepare for a breast reduction surgery, your surgeon will take you through the following before the procedure.

• A thorough evaluation of medical history and overall health status,
• A detailed discussion on the expectations and desirable breast look, risks, and advantages associated with breast reduction surgery,
• Examination of the breasts, size, and volume,
• Medically record through pictures the pre-surgery breast size,
• Conduct diagnostic procedures like- routine blood analysis and baseline mammogram.

You will need to quit smoking and avoid taking anti-inflammatory drugs, anti-coagulants, or herbal supplements a couple of days before and after surgery.

During Breast reduction surgery

During the breast reduction surgery, you can expect general anaesthesia administration, surgical incisions around the breasts, and reduced areola in rare cases.

The incision scars reduce over time but do not completely vanish. Sometimes, during the surgery, the nipples and areola may be removed and reattached in a different position to re-contour the breasts.

After Breast reduction surgery

Immediately after surgery, the breasts will likely be covered by dressing and bandages. A tube that drains excess blood and fluids may be placed under the breast crease. Medications and pain relievers help reduce the risk of infections and pain.

After a week of surgery, breasts may seem tender, sensitive, swollen, or bruised. It may take a few months for these symptoms to subside. To protect and comfort the breasts, the surgeon recommends post-operative compression bras or sports bra. Avoid underwire bras for a couple of months after the surgery. You may also have to refrain from heavy physical activities for two to four weeks post-surgery.

Breast Reduction: Recovery

After a breast reduction surgery, you will need to wear a protective bra or a compression vest for at least 6 weeks that can help heal the chest wounds. Recovery from a breast reduction can take a few months.

• Side effects, like inflammation, bruising, bleeding, or irritation, can be seen 48 hours after the surgery. 
• Take the prescribed antibiotics and pain relievers.
• However, you can continue with your regular activities 3 days post-operation. 
• You will have to avoid strenuous activities and intense workout sessions for 6-8 weeks after the procedure or until the surgeon instructs you to. 

It will take a few weeks for the breast tissues to settle and for you to notice the final surgery outcome.
