Breast Reduction Procedure – Live A Happy And Comfortable Life!

Women with breasts that are too large for body frame experience all kinds of discomforts like physical distress, back and shoulder pain, social embarrassment, difficulty to exercise and problems with right clothing. All these lead to diminishing self-confidence and feeling less attractive, resulting in poor lifestyle.

All these issues can be dealt with a breast reduction surgery, at Skinnovation Clinics.

The breast reduction surgery comprises of removing excess breast tissue and skin, making a considerable reduction in breast size, which is compatible to the body frame and easier to carry.

The lifestyle and physical issues that women with larger breast face are:

• Trouble finding right sized clothes that make them look presentable
• Trouble with exercising because of excess fat around chest area.
• Trouble finding right-sized inner wear due to large breasts.
• Bra straps digging into the shoulder skin due to excess weight they are managing.
• Pain in back and shoulders while trying to support large breasts.
• Skin under the breast becoming irritated and bruised.
• Feeling self-conscious about their appearance.

At Skinnovation Clinics, our board certified and experienced surgeons would give you a complete consultation before the actual procedure to induce you into it and tend to all your queries and dilemmas regarding a breast reduction surgery. A physical examination is performed prior to the surgery which includes 3D simulation (A 3-dimensional imaging software which provides results on patient’s self-image) to understand the current status and expected goals from the surgery. Evaluation of shape and size of the breast is done; also the skin and muscle tone are measured to predict the results.

If you are planning to go for a breast reduction, you would be required to go off smoking and drinking at least one week prior to the surgery. Any blood-thinning medicines or supplements also need to be stopped around the same time. Your eating and drinking times will be monitored a day prior to the surgery. You may be asked to get a pre-operative mammogram to detect any issues with the breasts before surgery.

It is always good to attain an ideal body weight before breast reduction surgery.

How is it done?

A breast reduction surgery at Skinnovation Clinics is performed under general anesthesia. Incisions are made around the areola down to the breast crease. Dr. Rajat Gupta uses short vertical scar superomedial pedicle technique. This technique limits the scar post breast reduction and enables good teardrop and natural shape to the breast. The size of the areola is also reduced and areola is repositioned to attain a symmetrical position. Once the breasts are newly shaped and the areola is in the correct position, the incision is closed using fine absorbable sutures.

How does the recovery take place?

Patients are advised to wear a surgical bra or a compression garment for several weeks after the surgery, which we develop custom sized here at Skinnovation Clinics. This keeps the swelling in control.

Most patients can resume normal routine within two to three days. But strenuous physical activity must be avoided for four to six weeks.

The results of a breast reduction immediately become visible after the surgery, but final results become more obvious after the swelling goes down and the breast tissues settle into their new position. It can take up to six months for this to happen, and for the scars to begin to fade.
