Breast reduction surgery in Mumbai or reduction mammoplasty is a procedure by which we can reduce the size of your breast by removing glandular tissue and skin to achieve a firm and attractive breast.

Before the procedure
Before you meet your plastic surgeon in Goregaon, we give you a health declaration where you answer questions about your health, medical history and your general condition. If you wish, you will also receive papers home with you on how the procedure is done in practice. If you choose to proceed with your breast reduction, we will also send you all the information on how to prepare for your surgery.
During breast reduction surgery in Mumbai
Breast reduction is always performed under anesthesia and the operation takes about 90 minutes. Before surgery, incision markings are made on the breasts. For the best result and symmetry, all the tissue that is removed during the operation is weighed.
When the removal of the tissue itself is carried out, the wounds are sewn together. Partly with a thread that the body itself dissolves after about 4-8 weeks, and partly with a nylon thread at the edge of the skin. The nylon thread is removed at the clinic after about 10 days.
After your breast reduction
After surgery, the scars should be taped for at least six months for the best possible result. Wound drainage is placed in the breasts to remove blood and fluid. These drains can be removed on the same day as your surgery or the following day.
As standard procedure, the removed breast tissue is sent for microscopic analysis. A tape dressing is laid over the breasts.
Then you should have bought a sturdy sports bra to be used around the clock for 1 month and another month in the daytime. Sports bras can be purchased at the hospital.
The pain after a breast reduction is minimal or moderate and pain relief is taken if necessary. Post-checks take place 2-3 times in the first year after your surgery.

Scarring
When it comes to breast reduction, there are several different techniques, but all of them entail certain scarring.
Scars around the areola and in the natural crease under the chest
The most common technique produces scars around the areola, vertically underneath and in the natural crease under the chest (so-called anchor incisions). After breast reduction surgery in Mumbai, the scars are red but fade after a few months. The scars are narrow and discreet, but in some patients, they may be perceived as more powerful. Breast reduction can affect the sensation in the breasts. The loss of sensation is usually transient, but there are patients who have a permanent loss of sensation.
The ability to breastfeed can be affected after a procedure and the risk of not being able to breastfeed is usually estimated at 50%.
FAQ – Breast Reduction
How is my life affected after a breast reduction?
If you are bothered by pain as a cause of a large bust, your life will be greatly affected by a breast reduction. You may have previously had problems moving physically but also experienced pains in the neck, shoulders and thoracic spine. Through a narrowing of the breasts, breast tissue is removed, which makes the heaviness that previously caused pain disappear. Many people who undergo a breast reduction experience an increased quality of life.
What result can I expect?
During your consultation, we go through your specific wishes and conditions, including the size of the breasts. Next, we’ll talk about what result you can expect based on your particular personal situation.
Am I anesthetized during surgery?
Yes, the operation is done under anesthesia.
Does it hurt after surgery?
The pain afterwards is moderate and, if necessary, painkillers are taken.
Do I get depressed after surgery?
During a breast reduction, you are given strong medications, which can lead to some depressed mood after surgery. Our professional staff is used to dealing with the depressed mood that sometimes occurs.
How soon after surgery can I start working again?
When you can start working again depends on how physically demanding your job is. As a rule, you can go to work after 3-5 days after your breast reduction. Heavy lifting and other blood pressure-raising activity should be avoided for three months after your surgery. Especially after an intervention such as breast reduction (breast lift, breast reduction). You risk having impaired sensation in the nipples and your ability to breastfeed can be reduced.
Can I continue with birth control pills and other medicines after my surgery?
After your surgery, there is no problem eating birth control pills. During your consultation, however, we go through any medications that you take and then we make a decision on whether extra observation is required.
How long do I need to tape the scars?
To get as nice and discreet scars as possible, you should tape them for up to six months, but preferably longer. If your skin is bothered by surgical tape, there is silicone-based tape available for purchase at pharmacies.
