Breast Reduction Surgery
Perfect and proportional breasts are every woman’s dream. However, many women are born with a much larger breast size than is suitable for their body type. One may think that this is a dream but it is a nightmare! There are many reasons like hormonal issues and genetics, which result in women having heavier breasts that are out of proportion with the overall body.
Women with extremely large breasts are in immense physical pain and feel frustrated and traumatized due to them. Having such disproportionately large breasts also affects their day-to-day lives. They have trouble finding properly fitting clothes and bras. Large breasts also get in the way of physical activities like running, exercising, etc. They try all sorts of things to reduce their cup size like breast reduction creams, medicines, and pills. But most of these are not solutions to the problem. At Vanity Cosmetic Clinic in Mumbai, Dr. Santosh Bhatia performs a simple and effective procedure called “Breast Reduction Surgery” which solves this problem forever while also leaving the patient with beautiful, aesthetically pleasing smaller-sized breasts.

What is
breast reduction surgery?
Breast reduction surgery involves the removal of excess skin, fat, and tissue from the breasts to have properly proportioned breasts. It is also often referred to as reduction mammoplasty.
Dr. Santosh Bhatia, a Board-certified, well-known Mumbai based Plastic Surgeon explains that this surgery is a safe and effective way to get rid of all the issues that come due to extremely large breasts.
What are
the problems associated with overly large breasts?
Sometimes, women tend to have massive breasts. This issue is also called gigantomastia. Having heavier breasts results in back pain, shoulder pain,and arm pain. Women with gigantomastia are prone to skin inflammatory reactions since the breast skin constantly rubs against the abdominal wall or the chest wall. They also create a hurdle for the woman to engage in vigorous exercise or heavy physical activities thus affecting her health adversely.
Having heavier breasts not only affects physical health, but also psychological well-being. As it becomes difficult for women to get relevant-sized clothes and bras, they can develop inferiority – complex regarding their looks and appearance. Breast reduction surgery helps them deal with these problems and improve their lives.

What
Alternative Methods Do Women Try To Reduce Breast Size?
Women with large breasts try many different ideas to reduce their breast size. “How to reduce breast size” and “how to reduce cup size” are very common search terms on Google. Women will try diets to reduce chest fat, and take supplements, pills, or medicines to regulate their hormones. Some people even use chest binders to make their breasts appear smaller. These days there are even breast reduction creams! But there is no definitive proof that any of these methods help reduce breast size. These so-called “quick fixes” like medicines, breast reduction cream, and pills rarely work. The safest and most efficient way to reduce breast size and get proportionate breasts is through breast reduction surgery performed by an experienced plastic surgeon.
Who Is
an ideal candidate for breast reduction surgery?
Dr. Santosh Bhatia, of Vanity Cosmetic Clinic in Mumbai, has listed down certain conditions that make a woman an ideal candidate for breast reduction surgery. If you fit into the criteria, then you can choose to undergo breast reduction surgery:
- An overall healthy woman.
- A non-smoker (or ready to give up smoking for a period prescribed by Dr Bhatia). The woman is not pregnant or currently breastfeeding.
- The woman is not pregnant or currently breastfeeding.
- The woman has massive breasts and is suffering from physical or mental discomfort due to their size.
Please note that getting breast reduction surgery is not a good idea if you are succumbing to societal or peer pressure. Undergoing breast reduction surgery should be a well-thought decision that you make for yourself.

Breast Reduction Surgery: A Perfect Solution To Reduce Large Breasts.
What to expect before the
procedure of breast reduction surgery?
Dr. Santosh Bhatia, of Vanity Cosmetic Clinic in Mumbai, will need to know the entirety of the medical history to carry out the breast reduction surgery smoothly and without any complications. The doctor will also ask you to undergo a few blood tests to check for any impending issues.
Also, a mammogram might be advised to determine the current condition and health of the breasts.
How is
breast reduction surgery performed at vanity cosmetic clinic?
There are certain methodologies through which breast reduction surgery is performed at Vanity Cosmetic Clinic, Mumbai. The two involve:
- Breast reduction surgery through incisions
- Breast reduction surgery through liposuction
Breast reduction through a simple incision is the most common method used for breast reduction surgery. In rare cases, Dr. Santosh Bhatia may opt for liposuction during the surgery. Liposuction is performed only if the breast tissue/fat is excessive to the point where removal through incisions will not deliver best results. Otherwise, liposuction is not performed in conventional breast reduction surgery.
In the conventional method, breast reduction surgery is performed through the following incisions:
- Circumvertical: In this case, a circular incision is made around the nipple areolar complex and a vertical scar is made going downwards at the 6 ‘o’ clock position towards the infra-mammary crease. The scar that remains, although very light, is in this particular shape.
- Anchorship: In case of very heavy breasts, this type of incision is preferred. It resembles the shape of an anchor.
- Sometimes, if possible, the incision is made only around the nipple areola complex which results in a practically invisible scar.
Dr Santosh Bhatia explains that on an average, about 200 to 300 grams of breast tissue is removed. However, in some cases he has also removed about 800 grams of breast tissue.
What
procedures can be combined with breast reduction?
Breast reduction is often combined with other body contouring cosmetic procedures, such as tummy tuck or liposuction, in order to achieve optimal results.
What is
the recovery procedure after a breast reduction surgery?
After breast reduction surgery, the patient has to stay at the clinic for one night to keep a check on the healing process and monitor the vitals.
In the case where a large amount of breast tissue is removed, drains may be placed in order to extract any fluids that might accumulate.
Bandages are placed after the surgery, and the patient must visit Dr Santosh Bhatia on the 3rd day to remove the dressing and on the 10th day to remove the stitches.
Medications might be given in order to alleviate the pain and soreness that are common after the surgery. These must be taken as prescribed by the doctor.
Patients have to mandatorily wear a sports bra for 3 weeks and avoid vigorous exercise as it might hamper the healing process.
Regular follow-ups must be taken with Dr. Santosh Bhatia of Vanity Cosmetic Clinic in Mumbai, at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and a year to analyze the recovery and results.
What are
the risks associated with breast reduction surgery?
Dr. Santosh Bhatia, of Vanity Cosmetic Clinic in Mumbai, gets a lot of questions regarding the potential risks and side effects of breast reduction surgery. Most common questions involve the sensation in the nipple area and about breastfeeding later in life. He explains that breast reduction surgery is performed with utmost care to not hamper the sensation of the nipples and lactation. However, in very rare cases, one might find numbness in the nipple area or trouble breastfeeding.
Some other complications of breast reduction involve:
- Persistent pain
- Bleeding
