Breast Reduction

Breast Reduction, also known as reduction mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to achieve smaller, lighter, and more proportionate breasts. Many women with overly large breasts experience physical discomfort such as back pain, neck pain, skin irritation, and posture issues, as well as emotional challenges related to body image.

What is Breast Reduction?

Breast reduction surgery is performed to reduce the size and weight of the breasts while improving their shape and positioning. It is often chosen for both medical and cosmetic reasons, making it one of the most life-enhancing procedures in cosmetic surgery.

Candidates for breast reduction include women who experience:

  • Chronic back, neck, or shoulder pain
  • Shoulder indentations from bra straps
  • Skin irritation or rashes under the breasts
  • Difficulty with physical activities due to breast size
  • Emotional discomfort or self-consciousness

How is Breast Reduction Performed?

The surgery involves several steps:

Consultation & Planning – Assessment of health history, breast size, and goals.

Anesthesia – Typically performed under general anesthesia.

Incision Technique – Common patterns include:

  • Keyhole (vertical) incision
  • Anchor-shaped incision

Tissue Removal & Reshaping – Excess fat, glandular tissue, and skin are removed. The breast is reshaped, and the nipple may be repositioned.

Closing Incisions & Recovery – Sutures are applied, and recovery begins.

The procedure usually takes 3–4 hours, depending on the case.

Advantages of Breast Reduction

  • Relieves chronic pain and discomfort
  • Improves posture and physical mobility
  • Reduces skin irritation and rashes
  • Creates lighter, firmer, and more proportionate breasts
  • Enhances self-confidence and body image
  • Makes clothing and physical activities more comfortable

Recovery After Breast Reduction

Recovery is generally straightforward, with many patients returning to daily routines in 1–2 weeks. General recommendations include:

  • Wearing a supportive surgical bra
  • Avoiding strenuous exercise for 4–6 weeks
  • Taking prescribed medication for pain relief
  • Attending follow-up appointments for progress monitoring

Final results are visible once swelling subsides, typically after 2–3 months.

Risks and Considerations

Although breast reduction is safe and life-changing, possible risks include:

  • Temporary bruising, swelling, and discomfort
  • Scarring (which fades over time)
  • Changes in nipple sensation (usually temporary)
  • Difficulty breastfeeding (in some cases)
  • Rare need for revision surgery

At Badge Health, we prioritize safety, advanced surgical techniques, and comprehensive aftercare to ensure optimal outcomes and long-term satisfaction.
