Breast Reduction

What is Breast Reduction?

Breast Reduction, or Reduction Mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to achieve a smaller, lighter, and more lifted breast shape.
It is ideal for individuals experiencing physical discomfort or emotional distress due to overly large or heavy breasts.

This is not just a cosmetic procedure — it is often a life-changing solution to chronic pain, posture problems, and lifestyle limitations.

Common Symptoms That Lead to Breast Reduction

✔ Neck, back, or shoulder pain
✔ Skin irritation or rashes under the breasts
✔ Grooves in the shoulders from bra straps
✔ Difficulty exercising or finding fitted clothing
✔ Emotional discomfort or self-consciousness
✔ Asymmetry due to one breast being larger than the other

Who is a Good Candidate?

You may benefit from breast reduction surgery if:

✔ Your breasts are disproportionately large for your body
✔ You suffer from physical discomfort or limited mobility
✔ You’re in good physical and emotional health
✔ You are not currently breastfeeding or pregnant
✔ You have realistic expectations and seek a long-term solution

This surgery is popular among women of all ages, including young adults and post-pregnancy patients.

What to Expect from the Procedure

Surgical patterns include:

🔹 Lollipop (vertical scar) — for moderate reductions
🔹 Anchor (inverted-T) — for large or pendulous breasts

Recovery Timeline

🕒 Days 1–3: Swelling, soreness, compression bra worn
🩺 Week 1–2: Sutures removed, mobility improves
🕒 Weeks 3–4: Return to light activities and work
🕒 Week 6+: Resume sports and full physical activity
🕒 Months 3–6: Final shape stabilizes, scars begin to fade

Most patients feel instant relief from pain and heaviness after surgery.

Benefits of Breast Reduction

✅ Significant pain relief in back, neck, and shoulders

✅ Easier exercise, movement, and clothing fit
✅ Restored breast symmetry and proportion
✅ Natural, lifted breast appearance

Are the Results Permanent?

Yes — breast reduction offers long-lasting and often permanent relief.
Future pregnancies, weight changes, or aging may still affect the breast size or shape, but results are usually stable for years.
