mammoplasty
Also known as lumpectomy, breast lump surgery is the procedure of removing the benign tumor from one
or both breasts. Lumpectomy is often performed for small breast lumps. This technique preserves the
breast tissues while removing the lump successfully. If multiple lumps of large size are present,
then the doctor may opt for mastectomy in which all or most of the breast tissues are removed.

What happens in breast reduction?
Diagnosis
Once you decide to undergo breast reduction surgery, the doctor needs to evaluate your health to
ensure that you are an ideal candidate for the procedure. The plastic surgeon will discuss the
following things to diagnose your health-
Your physical health includes the medical history of diseases, illnesses, surgeries,
immunizations, and current physical status.
The doctor will also review your diet and exercise regime.
Your mental health to ensure that you are making the decision to undergo surgery after careful
consideration.
Medications that you are currently taking, include supplements and vitamins.
Any allergies to medications, food items, environmental factors, etc.
Based on the discussion, the doctor will assess the risks and potential complications of the surgery
and provide instructions to prepare you for the surgery.
Procedure
As the method for breast reduction varies significantly, the procedure is different for each patient.
The steps involved in the procedure are explained below-
Anesthesia is administered by the anesthetist to sedate the body during the procedure. It can be
done using intravenous sedation and general anesthesia. The doctor will recommend the right type
after evaluating your health.
The incision is made based on the technique chosen for breast tissue removal. If the liposuction
method is chosen, then there won’t be a major incision above or around the breasts.
Through the incisions, the tissues are accessed and removed through excision. The areola size is
also excised as necessary to reduce its perimeter.
If required, the areola and the nipple might be removed and then transplanted to a higher
position on the breast.
The underlying breast tissues are lifted and reshaped accordingly and the incisions are closed
with the help of dissolvable stitches.
Your breasts will be covered with a gauze dressing or bandages. A
tube may also be placed to allow drainage of excess blood or fluid.

What happens if excess breast size is not addressed?
Some women long for fuller and bigger breasts, but the large size is not always a blessing. Excessively large
breasts, i.e., macromastia, have been linked with a variety of physical health issues, including-
Neck, shoulder, and back pain
Shoulder grooves
Rashes under the breast fold
Compression of nerves in the breast tissues, leading to numbness
Inability to exercise
Shortness of breath
Headaches
Though some women address these problems with the help of heat packs, massages, or physical therapy, they are
not long-term solutions. But all these problems can vanish with a breast reduction.

How to prepare for the surgery?
The plastic surgeon will guide you properly to prepare for breast reduction surgery. You will be asked to get
the following things done-
Evaluation of overall health and medical history
Discuss the expectations of breast size and appearance after the procedure
Breast examinations, including mammogram
Get all the necessary lab tests
Besides these, the doctor will also give you instructions regarding what to do and what not to do on the day
of surgery, such as-
Do not eat or drink anything after midnight on the day of surgery.
Do not take blood-thinning medications or anti-inflammatory drugs.
Ask someone to accompany you to the hospital and to take you home.
Risks & Complications
During the Surgery
The risks with breast reduction surgery are very similar to other procedures. The potential risks are-
Bleeding
Infection
Adverse reactions to anesthesia
After the Surgery
Along with the risks during the procedure, many complications can also arise after the procedure. These
complications include-
Temporary bruising
Scarring
Loss of sensation in the nipples and surrounding skin
Difficulty or inability to breastfeed
Asymmetrical results
What to expect after the surgery?
Immediately after the surgery, your breasts may feel tender and sensitive.
The doctor will prescribe pain medications to manage your pain and antibiotics to minimize the risk of
infection. The breasts will be swollen and bruised after the procedure. For that, the doctor will
suggest wearing an elastic compression bra to support the breasts.
You are most likely to get discharged on the same day. If necessary, you may
have to stay overnight in the hospital. The surgeon will provide a detailed recovery guide before the
discharge and enlist the follow-up schedule.
Why is breast reduction required?
Typically, breast reduction is needed for women whose breast size has increased significantly – a condition
known as macromastia. In this condition, the breasts become disproportionate and start causing physical and
emotional distress. The pain and discomfort further make it difficult for the woman to perform common
physical activities, including running, jogging, etc. A woman may opt for the surgical reduction to resolve
issues, such as-
Chronic back, neck, and shoulder pain
Chronic rash or irritation on the skin under the breasts
Nerve pain
Restricted activity
Low self-esteem due to large breasts
Difficulty fitting into the bras and clothing
Breast reduction addresses physical and psychological issues and helps to get rid of such problems
effectively. Along with undergoing breast reduction for medical reasons, there are many women who opt for
the procedure for aesthetic reasons to cite cosmetic concerns, such as social stigmas or wardrobe concerns.
Who is the right candidate for breast reduction surgery?
A woman is considered the right candidate for breast reduction surgery if she meets the following criteria-
The physical, mental, and emotional health are good and stable.
The breasts are too large for the body frame.
Body posture is affected by the weight of the breasts
The breast size restricts physical activity.
Large breasts cause self-consciousness.
The expectations from breast surgery are realistic.
Benefits of Breast Reduction Surgery
Breast reduction is a life-changing decision for most women. Every woman who was suffering due to the large
size of the breasts will get permanent relief and also experience other benefits too.
Some key benefits of breast reduction are given below-
Relief from chronic pain in the back, shoulder, and neck. As the breasts will be less heavy than
earlier, pain in the back and neck will disappear gradually.
Improve the back posture, which is usually hard to maintain with large breasts. The large breasts put a
significant weight which leads to rounding of the shoulders.
Freedom from irritation, chafing, and rashes under the breasts. There is a lot of friction and rubbing
under the breasts when they are excessively large. With the reduction, this problem is addressed.
Women with large breasts often don’t feel comfortable in certain types of clothes. But when the breast
size is reduced, they get a confidence boost that allows them to wear everything they like.
Physical activities become easier after a breast reduction. Large breast is always a concern for all
women. But after reduction surgery, they can return to an active lifestyle and participate in all
activities without any problem.
Improve sleep quality by undergoing breast reduction. Women with large breasts struggle to find a
comfortable position to sleep in. They often had to wear a bra while sleeping. This problem is also
resolved after the procedure.
In hindsight, you will also realize that it is better to find the right size of bra.
Other Options for Breast Reduction
Some non-surgical or natural methods to reduce breast size include the following-
Diet Changes- In most cases, breasts are composed of adipose tissues or fat. Thus, the
first step to reducing the size is making dietary changes and cutting down the calorie intake.
Exercise– Similar to diet changes, exercising can help to burn excess fat all over the
body, including the breasts.
Reduce Estrogen– Estrogen levels are generally higher in women who have a hormonal
imbalance and are taking medications for it. They can increase the size of breasts temporarily. However,
the effects will go away as soon as you stop taking the medicines.
Minimizer Bras- This is not entirely a reduction method, but using minimizer bras can
create an illusion that you have smaller breasts. Some bras also come with supportive straps that will
provide you relief from back and neck pain.
These methods are not as effective as surgery in reducing breast size.
Recovery & Results After Breast Reduction Surgery
The results of breast reduction surgery are clearly visible once the
reduction is done. The effects will be noticeable after the swelling subsides. The size of the breasts
will be smaller than before, and the backache, neck pain, and other problems will also disappear. The
scars from breast reduction surgery take some time to fade.
The average recovery time after breast reduction takes around 4 to 6 weeks.
Throughout that period, the patient has to take extensive care of the body to get the expected results.
The exact time may vary for each patient based on the overall health and the technique used.
Case Study
In Jan 2022, a patient, Sharon (name changed), came to us concerning the
large size of her breasts that were causing physical discomfort and backache. Her breast size was 38DD,
and they sagged to a great extent. She wished to undergo breast reduction surgery.
Dr. Sharad Mishra handled the case. Sharon was overall healthy and had an
ideal body mass index. The doctor ensured that she was an ideal candidate and then performed the
surgery. Her size was reduced to 4 cups through the Inverted T technique. As Sharon was overall in good
health, there were minimal risks, and the surgery took around 2 hours to finish. She was discharged on
the same day.
She is perfectly happy with her 34B breast size. She recovered quickly and is
now living a life without any type of back, neck, or shoulder pain.
Breast Reduction Surgery Cost In India
The
breast reduction surgery cost in India ranges from Rs. 70,000 to Rs. 1,50,000 approximately. The actual
cost will be different for each patient due to the following factors-
The patient’s profile (age, health, ptosis, size, etc.)
Doctor’s consultation and operating fee
Diagnostic tests and evaluations
The technique used for breast reduction
The goal of the procedure and extent of reduction
Choice of the hospital
Hospitalization expense
Medicines prescribed
Post-op care and consultations
Do I have to stay in the
hospital after breast reduction?
No, hospitalization is generally not necessary after breast reduction. The
patient is discharged on the same day of surgery. The doctor will only ask
the patient to stay longer if there is a risk of post-surgery complications.
How long do I need to wear a support bra
after reduction mammoplasty?
After breast reduction, you will have to wear a support bra 24×7 for the
first two weeks. Later on, the bra needs to be worn at least 12 hours a day
until the breasts heal completely.
Can I breastfeed after undergoing a reduction
mammoplasty?
Yes, you can breastfeed after undergoing a reduction mammoplasty. However,
the amount of milk that can be produced by the glands may be affected.
Is it safe to combine breast reduction and a
breast lift?
Yes, it is completely safe to combine a breast reduction and lift. It
provides aesthetically pleasing results and improves the shape of the
breasts. The size of the breasts is reduced considerably to make them
perkier and lifted.
Can I get a breast reduction
at any age?
Most surgeons recommend waiting until the breast development is complete
before getting the surgery.
Can I choose the reduction
size for my breasts?
You can discuss the goals with the surgeon before the surgery so that
he/she will have an idea of what your expectations are regarding the size of
the breasts.
Types of Reduction Mammoplasty
Liposuction for Breast Reduction
In many cases, breast reduction can be made using
liposuction alone. This technique involves using power-assisted,
laser-assisted, or ultrasound-assisted liposuction that breaks down the
fat tissues and suctions them out. It is a minimally invasive procedure
chosen for patients who have primarily fat tissues in the breasts. The
best candidates are the ones who desire only slight moderation in the
breast size and have good skin elasticity with no sagging.
Vertical or ‘Lollipop’ Breast Reduction
Patients who need a moderate reduction in breast size
and have noticeable sagging are the best candidates for vertical breast
reduction. This technique involves making two incisions, one is around
the edges of the areola, and the second one is vertically from the
bottom pint of the areola to the inframammary fold or the crease beneath
the breast.
This pattern allows the plastic surgeon to remove excess skin tissues
and breast tissues to reshape the breasts internally.
Inverted-T or Anchor Breast Reduction
For heavier and bulky breasts, the inverted-T method
is used. It involves making 3 incisions, one around the bottom edge of
the areola, one from the areola to the breast crease in the vertical
direction, and the third one along the crease underneath the breast.
This technique allows better tissue removal and reshaping. This approach
is preferable when the breasts are asymmetrical and have considerable
sagging.
