HOW THE PROCEDURE IS PERFORMED
Step 1: Marking & Anesthesia
Dr. Hardik marks incision patterns and symmetry lines while you stand. The procedure is done under general anesthesia for comfort and control.
Step 2: Tissue Removal and Reshaping
Dr. Hardik restores core muscle alignment and tightens separated abdominal muscles to improve posture and core stability.
Step 3: Nipple and Areola Repositioning
The nipple-areola complex is repositioned higher on the breast mound for a youthful and natural appearance while maintaining sensitivity whenever possible.
Step 4: Closure and Support
Incisions are closed with fine sutures, and a surgical support bra is applied to maintain contour and reduce swelling.
RECOVERY AND POST-OPERATIVE CARE
Recovery after Breast Reduction focuses on comfort and gentle healing.
Typical Recovery Timeline:
- Days 1–3: Mild soreness and tightness; rest with arm movement limited.
- Week 1: Return to light daily activities. Continue wearing the support bra.
- Weeks 2–3: Sutures removed; swelling gradually subsides.
- Weeks 4–6: Resume normal activities and light exercise.
- Month 3 onward: Breasts settle into final shape and softness.
Aftercare Support Includes:
- Specialized support garment for 4–6 weeks
- Scar care plan and optional laser treatments
- Lymphatic drainage sessions to reduce swelling
- Regular follow-ups to monitor healing and symmetry
COMBINATION OPTIONS
Breast Reduction can be combined with:
- Breast Lift (Mastopexy) – for added firmness and contour
- Liposuction of the chest or flanks – for enhanced shaping
- Body Contouring Procedures – for proportional overall results
- Tummy Tuck or Mommy Makeover – for full-body transformation

BREAST REDUCTION Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is breast reduction?
A surgery that removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to reduce size and improve shape, usually relieving back/neck/shoulder pain, rashes, and bra-strap grooves.
2. Who is a good candidate?
People with symptomatic, heavy breasts (pain, posture issues, skin irritation), shoulder indentations, activity limitations, or difficulty finding clothes. You should be healthy, near a stable weight, and have realistic goals.
3. Will it also lift my breasts?
Yes. Reduction inherently includes a breast lift (mastopexy) to reposition the nipple-areola and reshape the breast.
4. What cup size will I be after surgery?
Cup sizes vary by brand and body. We plan by measurements and proportions, not labels. Tell us your desired look; we’ll match it to your anatomy safely.
5. What techniques are used?
Common skin patterns are vertical (“lollipop”) or inverted-T (“anchor”). Internally, tissue is reshaped and the nipple-areola complex is kept on a blood-supply pedicle. In select fatty breasts, lipo-only reduction may be considered.
6. Where are the scars?
Around the areola, a vertical line to the fold, and sometimes along the fold (anchor). Scars typically fade over 6–12 months with proper care.
7. Will my nipples be moved or resized?
Yes, the nipple-areola is elevated to a natural position and can be reduced in diameter if enlarged.
8. What about nipple sensation?
Most patients keep meaningful sensation, but temporary changes are common. A small percentage may experience reduced or, rarely, increased sensitivity.
9. Can I breastfeed after a reduction?
Many can, but breastfeeding may be less predictable after reduction. If future pregnancies are planned soon, discuss timing with your surgeon.
10. Will it help my back and neck pain?
Most patients report significant relief of back/neck/shoulder discomfort, improved posture, and better exercise tolerance.
11. Is breast reduction safe?
In qualified hands and an accredited facility, yes. Safety includes careful planning of blood supply to the nipple, VTE (blood-clot) prevention, meticulous hemostasis, and sensible operative times.
12. What are the risks?
Bleeding/hematoma, infection, delayed wound healing (especially at the T-junction), fluid (seroma), asymmetry, fat necrosis, altered nipple sensation, and very rare partial/total nipple loss. We plan conservatively to minimize risks.
13. What is recovery like?
Desk work: ~5–10 days (varies).
- Light cardio: ~2 weeks.
- Upper-body/impact exercise: ~4–6 weeks, as advised.
A support bra is worn for several weeks; swelling refines over 2–3 months.
14. Are drains used?
Sometimes, depending on the amount of tissue removed and intra-op factors. Many cases are drainless.
15. Will my breasts look natural?
Yes—the goal is proportionate, lifted, and soft. Shape continues to settle as swelling subsides.
16. Will tissue be sent for pathology?
Yes, removed tissue is typically routinely analyzed to check for unexpected findings
17. What if my breasts are uneven to begin with?
Mild asymmetry is very common. We plan reductions asymmetrically to improve balance; tiny differences may still remain.
18. Can breast reduction be combined with liposuction elsewhere?
Yes—axillary tail/bra-roll liposuction is commonly combined when indicated. Combination plans are individualized for safety and recovery.
19. How should I prepare?
Stop smoking, optimize nutrition, pause certain meds/supplements if advised, arrange help for the first 48–72 hours, and bring your support bras to surgery as instructed.
21. How long do results last?
Results are long-lasting, especially with stable weight and supportive bras. Natural aging, pregnancies, and weight changes still affect size/shape over time.
22. What does breast reduction cost?
Fees depend on technique, tissue volume, hospital/anesthesia time, and aftercare. You’ll receive a personalized quotation after consultation.
