Breast Reduction
When your breasts feel too heavy for your body, reduction can feel like a weight lifted off your shoulders.
“Breast reduction is not just making the breasts smaller but also to create a proportion that suits your body" — Dr Gaurav Patodia
Your breasts may be affecting more than just appearance?
Large or heavy breasts can become a daily physical problem.
Shoulder and neck discomfort.
Back pain.
Bra straps digging into the shoulders.
Skin irritation beneath the breasts.
Difficulty exercising comfortably.
Difficulty finding clothes that fit well.
And sometimes, even after losing weight, the size and shape of the breasts don’t change enough.
Find out what Breast Reduction could mean for you.
- Sometimes the breasts are heavy because of excess glandular tissue and fat.
- Sometimes there is significant sagging or loss of shape.
- Sometimes the breast has become larger after weight gain, pregnancy or hormonal changes.
- And sometimes, the patient wants reduction and a better position and shape.
That’s why breast reduction may involve a combination of:
Breast Tissue reduction.
Liposuction.
Breast lifting (mastopexy).
Reshaping and repositioning.
The important question isn’t simply:
“How much smaller can they be?”
It’s:
“What size, shape and position will work best for you?”
Breast Reduction surgery in Dhanbad
Breast reduction surgery can reduce excess breast tissue and fat to create a lighter, more comfortable and proportionate breast shape. Dr Gaurav Patodia provides personalised breast reduction surgery in Dhanbad for women experiencing discomfort, heaviness, skin irritation or concerns related to breast size and shape. Depending on individual anatomy, treatment may involve tissue removal, liposuction and breast lifting (mastopexy).
Breast reduction can also address breast sagging when reshaping and lifting are required to achieve a balanced result.
BENEFITS
Reduces breast weight and volume — Removes selected excess tissue and fat to create a lighter breast shape.
Can improve physical discomfort — Reduction may help with symptoms associated with heavy breasts, including neck, shoulder and back discomfort.
Improves breast proportion — The breasts can be reshaped in relation to your overall body proportions rather than simply reduced in size.
Can address sagging at the same time — When required, breast reduction can be combined with a breast lift (mastopexy) to improve breast position and shape.
Liposuction can refine selected areas — In suitable patients, liposuction may be used as part of the procedure to address excess fat and improve contour.
FAQ
1. Is breast reduction the same as a breast lift?
Not exactly. Breast reduction removes excess breast tissue, fat and skin to reduce size and weight. A breast lift (mastopexy) primarily reshapes and raises the breast without necessarily reducing its volume significantly. The two procedures can be combined when both size and sagging need to be addressed.
2. Can liposuction be used during breast reduction?
Yes, in selected patients. Liposuction may be used to reduce excess fat in specific areas and refine the breast or surrounding contour. Whether it is appropriate depends on your breast composition, skin quality and desired result.
3. Will breast reduction leave scars?
Breast reduction requires incisions, so scars are expected. The pattern depends on the amount of tissue being removed and the surgical technique used. Over time, scars generally mature and become less noticeable, although they do not disappear completely.
Wondering whether you need reduction, lifting — or both?
A consultation can help determine what is contributing to your breast size and shape, and whether reduction, mastopexy, liposuction or a combination would best address your goals.
