Breast reductions are life changing and finally gives you the body you were meant to have !
Have you ever hunched over to hide your breasts? No women want an unwanted attention because of the breast size. Heavy breasts can make you feel self-conscious and that can have a damaging effect on your confidence and overall happiness. Very large, heavy breasts can create a multitude of health problems. You may experience or have already experienced one or more problems among the following issues in relation to your heavy breasts, like:
A procedure to remove excess breast fat or glandular tissue and skin in order to achieve a proportionate breast size in ratio to your body or to get free of the discomfort caused by heavy breasts is known as Breast reduction or Reduction Mammaplasty.
Having disproportionate breasts can cause physical and emotional stress to the patients. Heavy breasts also cause physical pain in the areas associated to them like shoulders, back and chest. Breast reduction surgery is usually done to relieve the patient from the physical or medical pain and trauma caused by heavy breasts. Sometimes the breasts are heavy in proportion to the body. Few women undergo this procedure just to look good and develop confidence when they feel breasts are heavy in proportion to the body.
We, here try to make the procedure less painful and even lesser traumatic for you. We provide a surgical procedure which has a shorter recovery period and is less intense.
The best and appropriate technique of breast reduction will be determined on the basis of following factors by Dr Amit Agarwal and you:
Your condition, amount of reduction desired and your breast Composition and the surgeon's advice will decide which technique will used for the surgery.
In the first step, general anaesthesia is given by our very competent anaesthetist and intensivist.
In the second step, Breast Reduction Surgery is performed through incisions on your breast for the removal of fat, glandular tissues and skin. Incision option include:
Scars will be very faintly visiblealong the incision linebut are well hidden under the swimsuit or bra.
Third step includes removal of the extra hypertrophied breast tissues with repositioning of the nipple- areola complexon both the sides. The size of the areola is reduced by excising skin at the perimeter. The underlying tissues of the breast are reduced, lifted and shaped accordingly and nipple is positioned to a new natural height. Liposuction of the lateral chest wall area is combined usually to give better definition to the area.
In the fourth step, the incisions are closed to reshape the smaller breasts. Suturing is layered deep to support the newly shaped breasts. After re-draping and removal of the excess tissues, the remaining skin is tightened, and the incisions are closed with the help of skin adhesives over drains. Drains are placed under the skin to remove excess blood or fluid from the surgery. Incision lines fade and improve over time but are permanent.
The results of Breast reduction surgery are visible immediately. Over the time, swelling and bruising reducesand desired results are achieved.
Scarless Breast Reduction with liposuction
Scarless breast reduction adopts liposuction technique for breast reduction. Since breast is composed of fat and gland elements, liposuction can suck the fat out and reduce the size of the breasts.
This unique technique of liposuction offers several advantages compared to conventional technique which requires long skin incisions on the breast region. These include less trauma to the breast, faster recovery, very few visible scars as the incisions are very small (with two on each breast, each about 3 mm in length), almost invisible to the eye once healed and fewer postoperative complications, improvement in shoulder and neck pain, and more natural appearing results with very less downtime.
Conventional procedure is still definitely the gold standard method for breast reduction for women with large sagging breasts but there are more scars, the surgery takes longer and there are sutures and drains involved. Also, more complications are possible with this type of breast reduction. Liposuction assisted scarless breast reduction will produce a smaller version of the breasts that a woman had before the procedure but liposuction cannot decrease the breast size markedly when compared to conventional technique. The shape of the breasts will be quite similar before the surgery but will be smaller in size and is ideal for women who want smaller, proportionate and youthful breasts, and do not desire or require significant reduction. Women with good skin tone, limited sagging, and an excess of fatty breast tissue, rather than glandular tissue, may be good candidates for scarless breast reduction. Women with moderate to severe sagging and with excess glandular tissues and less fat are not good candidates for this procedure.
The suitability of the procedure and which technique would be best for you can only be assessed after examination by Dr Amit Agarwal in person. He will guide and help you in making the right choice. After consultation, we are sure you will take the best decision for yourself.
After the surgery, dressings are applied to the surgical area, and you are made to wear a compression garment to reduce swelling and to support your Breasts. You will be discharged next day of the surgery after the drains are removed followed by the weekly visits or as suggested by Dr Amit Agarwal.We may send you home with drain if there is excess fluid in the body. It might be preferable to remove the drain at a follow up visit. The complete result of Breast reduction Surgery will be seen after the swelling and bruising subsides. You should give your body 3 - 6 months' time for evaluation of best results.
You should always follow a healthy lifestyle to maintain your profile and confidence.

These are the risks and possible complication which should be discussed by you with your surgeon before the procedure.

You should always follow a healthy lifestyle to maintain your profile and confidence.
If you have heavy breasts and you are facing physical and medical problems, or your breasts are not in proportion with your body then you are a suitable candidate for the surgery.
The visibility of scars will fade with time but they will be permanent. The scars will be along the incision line but the incisions are made in such a manner that they are less visible or can be hidden finely under the bra.
You can get discharged on second day after the surgery after your drain is removed and with doctor's consent.
The results of this procedure visible immediately as it's a reduction surgery but are more prominently visible after the swelling and bruising subsides.
Breast feeding may be still possible, but it cannot be guaranteed because this surgery removes many milk ducts that lead to nipple. It is suggested that you should undergo the surgery after your family is complete. Pregnancy can loosen your breasts to some extent and breast reduction also involves breast lift of some degree, so it will be better to undergo the procedure after pregnancy.
Quitting smoking is a perfect solution even without surgery as it involves many health risks, but it's totally up to your wish that you want to quit or not. But you should surely stop smoking at least 2 weeks before the surgery.
You can resume work just after a week of the surgery, but you surely have to wear pressure garment for best results and proper healing and follow your doctor's instructions.
Indivisual results may vary from person to person.
