Breast Reduction Surgery in India

What is a Breast Reduction?

Breast reduction, also known as reduction mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to decrease the size and weight of the breasts. It works by removing excess fat, glandular tissue, and skin, while reshaping the remaining breast tissue and repositioning the nipple to create a more balanced and lifted appearance.

However, do not worry, as our premier Mumbai Cosmetic surgeon Dr. Parag Mahadik is a true master of his craft, and effectively personalizes every procedure to match your unique anatomy and goals. Whether you’re looking for a modest reduction to alleviate discomfort or a more significant transformation to achieve your ideal silhouette, he ensures the results look and feel natural—perfectly suited to your body frame.

YOUR BREAST REDUCTION PROCEDURE

Breast reduction is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes 2 to 4 hours. Most patients are discharged the same day, though a short observation period may be required to ensure your comfort and safety.

Preoperative Markings:
Before the procedure begins, Dr. ParagMahadik carefully plans the surgery by marking the areas of tissue to be removed and determining the new position of the nipple. This step ensures precision and symmetry in your results.

Incisions Are Made:
The incisions are designed based on the amount of lift and reduction needed. The most common patterns are the "lollipop" (around the areola and vertically down to the breast crease) or the "anchor" (adding a horizontal incision along the crease). These techniques help achieve a natural shape while minimizing visible scarring.

Excess Tissue Is Removed:
Excess skin, fat, and breast tissue are carefully removed to reduce the size and weight of the breasts. This step is key to creating a lighter, more proportional silhouette.

Reshaping and Repositioning:
The remaining breast tissue is reshaped to create a smooth, natural contour. The nipple-areola complex is then moved to a higher position on the breast mound, enhancing the overall lift and youthful appearance.

Closing the Incisions:
The incisions are closed with dissolvable sutures, which means no suture removal is needed. This helps simplify your recovery process.

Drains and Supportive Dressing:
In some cases, small drain tubes may be placed temporarily to prevent fluid buildup and promote healing. A surgical bra is applied to support your new shape, reduce swelling, and keep you comfortable as you heal.

RECOVERY AND RISKS OF BREAST REDUCTION

Day 1–3: Focus on resting and wearing your supportive surgical bra to help with healing. Any discomfort can be managed with prescribed medication—most patients find this period manageable with proper care.
Week 1: Your dressings will be changed, and you’ll be encouraged to ease into light activities around the house. This is an important time to take it slow and let your body heal.
Week 2: Many patients feel ready to return to desk work or light daily routines. However, it’s best to avoid heavy lifting or strenuous activities for now—your body still needs time to recover.
Weeks 4–6:You can gradually reintroduce exercise into your routine, starting with lighter activities and slowly building up to more intense workouts. Always listen to your body and follow Dr. Mahadik’s guidance.
3–6 Months: Your final results will settle during this time, and scars will continue to fade and soften. Patience is key here—your results will only improve as your body fully heals.

While complications are rare, it’s important to be aware of the following:

- Infection, bleeding, or wound healing issues: These risks are minimized with proper aftercare and our renowned Mumbai Cosmetic surgeon specialist, Dr. Mahadik’s meticulous technique. If any concerns arise, they can typically be addressed promptly.
- Temporary or permanent changes in nipple sensation: It’s common to experience some numbness or heightened sensitivity initially, but sensation usually returns to normal over time. Permanent changes are rare but possible.
- Breast asymmetry or scarring: While Dr. Parag Mahadik prioritizes symmetry and natural-looking results, minor differences or scarring may occur. Scars are carefully placed to blend discreetly into your skin and fade significantly over time.
- Rare loss of nipple or areola tissue: This is extremely uncommon but can happen in complex cases. Dr. Mahadik takes every precaution to preserve tissue health and ensure the best possible outcome.
