Breast Reduction Surgery, medically called Reduction Mammoplasty, is a cosmetic and reconstructive procedure that removes excess breast fat, glandular tissue, and skin to achieve a smaller, firmer, and more proportionate breast size. This surgery not only enhances physical appearance but also relieves physical discomfort, such as neck, shoulder, and back pain, caused by large breasts. For many women, breast reduction also helps improve posture, mobility, and self-confidence, making daily activities easier and more comfortable.
India has become a leading destination for breast reduction surgery, with experienced plastic surgeons, state-of-the-art facilities, and affordable treatment costs. Through VivaVel Health, international patients can connect with India's top cosmetic surgery hospitals and board-certified surgeons, receiving end-to-end care and support from online consultation to recovery.
You may consider breast reduction if you experience:
Persistent pain or strain in the upper back, shoulders, or neck.
Skin infections or rashes beneath the breasts.
Numbness or tingling in the arms due to pressure.
Breast sagging or drooping (ptosis).
Difficulty exercising or sleeping comfortably.
Poor posture or breathing discomfort.
Breast reduction is often sought for both medical and aesthetic reasons, such as:
Chronic back, neck, and shoulder pain due to heavy breasts.
Skin irritation or rashes under the breast fold.
Shoulder grooves from bra straps digging in.
Postural issues or limited physical activity.
Asymmetry between breasts.
Difficulty finding well-fitting clothes.
Emotional discomfort or self-consciousness about large breasts.
Consult a board-certified plastic surgeon if:
Large breasts are affecting your daily life or self-esteem.
You have pain or postural issues caused by heavy breasts.
You wish to improve physical comfort and breast symmetry.
You have completed breastfeeding and maintain a stable weight.
You are in good health and have realistic expectations.
Before surgery, your cosmetic surgeon conducts a comprehensive evaluation that includes:
Medical history and physical examination.
Breast measurements and photographs for planning.
Mammogram or ultrasound, if required.
Assessment of tissue composition and skin elasticity.
Discussion of desired breast size, shape, and expectations.
Pre-surgical counselling regarding recovery and results.
Do's:
Wear your support bra 24/7 for the first few weeks.
