What is breast reduction?
Also known as reduction mammaplasty, breast reduction surgery removes excess breast fat, glandular tissue, and skin to achieve a breast size in proportion with your body and to alleviate the discomfort associated with overly large breasts. Breast reduction is needed in patients who develop excessively large breasts either genetically or due to some underlying condition — enlarged breasts cause pain in the shoulder and neck, and infection of skin folds, in addition to social embarrassment.

Is breast reduction right for you?
- You are physically healthy with realistic expectations

- You’re bothered by the feeling that your breasts are too large
- Your breasts limit your physical activity

The breast reduction procedure
Breast reduction surgery takes 2–3 hours under general anaesthesia. It consists of removal of excess skin, fat, and breast tissue, with repositioning of the nipple — essentially achieving a breast lift (mastopexy) at the same time. After surgery, a supportive sports bra is worn. Occasionally, patients may only need breast liposuction to reduce size, especially where breast enlargement is mostly fatty rather than glandular.
Breast reduction may also be part of a mommy makeover, combined with tummy tuck or body lift. See tummy tuck (abdominoplasty).
Benefits of breast reduction
- Relief of neck and shoulder pain
- Greater social and physical comfort
- Breast shape proportionate to body size
Recovery
When the procedure is complete, dressings or bandages are applied to the incisions, and an elastic bandage or support bra is worn to minimize swelling and support the breasts while healing. A small, thin drain tube may be temporarily placed under the skin. Recovery generally takes 2–4 weeks. Results are long-lasting, though breasts can still change over time due to aging, weight fluctuations, hormonal factors, and gravity.
Risks & side effects
- Difficulty breastfeeding in the future
- Changes in nipple or breast sensation, which may be temporary or permanent
- Bruising and swelling for a short duration
- Unfavorable scarring or breast/contour asymmetry
- Infection, bleeding (hematoma), or poor wound healing
- Fluid accumulation, or, rarely, partial loss of nipple/areola tissue
Your surgeon will discuss your individual risk profile in detail during consultation, including any family history of breast cancer and results of prior mammograms or biopsies.
