Chennai Plastic Surgery offers breast reduction surgery in India to help women experiencing mild to severe breast enlargement caused by overdeveloped milk glands, excess fat tissue, or a combination of both. Large breasts can lead to breast reduction for back pain, neck pain, shoulder strain, breathing difficulties, sleep disturbances, and poor posture. Additionally, sagging due to gravity can make the breasts aesthetically unappealing and physically uncomfortable.
Breast skin volume is permanent and cannot be reversed through weight loss alone. Non–surgical procedure options provide minimal relief and are not a permanent solution. For women seeking relief due to discomfort, surgical intervention remains the most effective option.
What is Breast Reduction surgery?
Reduction mammoplasty in India is a safe breast reduction procedure that removes excess glandular tissue, fat, and skin to achieve a breast size more proportionate to the body. This procedure helps alleviate discomfort, restore mobility, and improve self-confidence. By reshaping the breast, reduction mammoplasty enhances both function and appearance, making everyday activities more comfortable.
Why Consider Breast Reduction?
Women with disproportionately large breasts may face chronic pain, difficulty exercising, and emotional distress. Many experience breast reduction for back pain, shoulder and neck pain, as well as skin irritation from rashes under the breasts or deep indentations from bra straps. Heavy breasts can restrict physical activity, limit clothing options, and reduce self-confidence. Breast reduction surgery not only provides physical relief but also improves overall well-being.

What to Prepare Before Your Breast Reduction Surgery
Once you have consulted a board-certified plastic surgeon and have decided to get the procedure done, you will be required to do the following:
Workup for general anesthesia includes blood tests, chest X-rays, and ECG in older women.
Sono mammogram has to be done to evaluate your breasts and rule out any breast lumps, if any.
Avoid taking aspirin, and herbal supplements at least a week before the surgery
Avoid smoking at least two weeks before the surgery
You should be advised to fast for eight hours before the surgery.
What to Expect During Breast Reduction Surgery
Depending on your breast size, skin elasticity, and desired results, different surgical techniques are used:
Scar-less liposuction – Ideal for small, slightly sagging breasts
Periareolar scar reduction – Minimal incision around the areola
Short vertical scar technique – Suitable for mild to moderately large breasts
J-shaped incision – Used for moderate breast reduction
Classical inverted-T incision – Recommended for breast reshaping surgery in larger breasts
Inverted-T with free nipple graft – Necessary for extremely large or sagging breasts
The procedure will be done usually under general anesthesia.
Regardless of the approach, the nipple-areola complex is repositioned while maintaining blood and nerve function. The procedure is designed to preserve natural symmetry and long-term breast function.
Recovery and Post-operative Instructions
Patients will be shifted to the post-operative ward, where trained staff will closely monitor them. Most patients can be discharged on the same day. Those with comorbid conditions may be asked to stay overnight for observation.
Post-procedure dressings will be applied over the incision lines. Patients will be discharged with oral antibiotics and painkillers for five to seven days. The first follow-up would be after 48 hours. Dressings will be changed, and the patient will be asked to wear a sports bra to support the breasts and minimize swelling.
The sutures will be removed on the seventh day after surgery. One can resume normal daily activities from the third day. Patients can resume their routine in a week and start mild exercises by the second week. Restriction of cardio for three weeks and muscle workouts for six weeks is advised. Vigorous exercises and swimming should preferably be resumed only by week six.

Sometimes, age and gravity are not the causes of breast sagging. Right from adolescence, a small percentage of women develop breasts that are not naturally firm. Some others may experience sagging or a loss of shape due to aging, genes, weight loss, pregnancy, and breastfeeding. Most women seeking breast correction or improvement can benefit from a lift, regardless of age. Ideal breast lift candidates have nipples below the crease level under the breast, where the breast meets the rest of the body.
Breastfeeding is always good for the baby and the mother. However, some Mastopexy procedures require your surgeon to cut the milk ducts while repositioning the breasts, which can negatively impact breastfeeding. However, the risk is minimal. Patients must discuss this during consultations with the surgeon and decide after carefully weighing all the considerations and criteria.
The patient opting for a breast lift mustn’t smoke for at least two weeks before the surgery. The body needs to rid itself of all nicotine before the procedure. At Chennai Plastic Surgery, the surgeons conduct a blood check for nicotine levels before the procedure. If a woman has recently smoked, the mastopexy will be cancelled.
One of the benefits of mastopexy is that stretch marks in areas where excess skin is removed during surgery, particularly on the lower breasts, may also be eliminated. Additionally, the skin tightening process can help smooth the appearance of any remaining stretch marks, enhancing the overall texture and contour of the breasts.
Typically, tissue is removed from around the areola and below the breast, as found necessary. This tightens the breast tissue and allows the nipple to be moved to a higher position to create the “lift”.
Yes. Many patients opt for larger-scale body improvements and choose to undergo liposuction or a tummy tuck alongside their Mastopexy. These procedures can help reverse signs of aging or correct the problems that commonly develop following pregnancy. The surgery can be coupled with breast enlargement or reduction. Individual goals are discussed in detail with every patient before the operation.
Recovery varies for each patient. Most women rest at home for five to seven days, taking mild pain medication and avoiding driving or operating machinery. Light activities, like walking, can resume after a week, while vigorous exercises, such as running or weight training, should wait about three weeks.
Returning to work typically requires at least two weeks, longer for physically demanding jobs. Post-surgery care may differ if combined with other procedures. Regular follow-ups ensure optimal healing, and patients are encouraged to contact the clinic with any concerns during recovery.
Scarring will happen. Every patient must weigh the benefits of their breast lift against the drawback of scarring for themselves before deciding on going in for a Mastopexy.
Every person’s skin changes over time. Years after surgery, the breasts may gradually show signs of stretching or sagging. An improved breast contour is less likely to degrade over time than skin tension.
There is a risk of losing sensation around the nipple area. Almost every breast lift requires incisions around the nipple. Patients may need to wait for the nerves to grow back if this complication occurs. If the sensation has not returned after two years, the nipples may never regain their normal sense of touch.
Loss of Sensitivity in the BreastsSeveral patients experience temporary loss in breast sensitivity after Mastopexy. This is because the nerve endings were cut during the operation and needed to heal over time, sometimes several months, for the normal sensation to return. In some rare cases, the procedure can lead to a permanent loss of sensation in the breasts and/or areola area.
Scarring
Any injury results in scars. And Mastopexy is no exception. But, these scars are usually not problematic. A lowdown on the kinds of scars:
Hypertrophic scars are red, raised, and lumpy
Keloids are overgrowths extending past the incisions made during surgery or the development of inner scar tissue.
Smokers or those who have a medical history of abnormal scarring are at greater risk for developing more apparent breast lift scars. Scar gels and silicone gel sheeting can help minimize scarring. It’s important to remember that scarring looks worse just after surgery and begins fading over time.
Wound Separation (Dehiscence)
Revision surgery isn’t usually required to treat wound separation. Smokers and diabetics are among those who may experience separation of the operating wound edges. If wounds do separate, take care to keep the area as clean as possible. Women who experience wound separation will take longer to recover completely from their Mastopexy.
Breast Skin or Nipple Loss
Due to the effects on blood circulation during a breast lift, there is a risk that part of the breast skin, or the nipple, could turn black. This risk is much higher, however, in diabetics and smokers, and for this reason, Mastopexy surgery is not performed on these patients.
Breast Asymmetry
Naturally, all women have some level of asymmetry. When this asymmetry is noticeable and causes distress and discomfort, surgery must be performed to correct it and achieve a more balanced look.
Blood Loss
Although not common, excessive blood loss may require a blood transfusion. If the bleeding fails to stop independently, it needs immediate medical attention. To reduce the risk of postoperative bleeding, patients are instructed to avoid the use of anticoagulant medications and supplements like vitamin E, garlic tablets, and aspirin.
Hematoma
A hematoma is caused by blood collecting and clotting in a body cavity. It could cause swelling, pain, develop scar tissue, infections and other complications. Patients would know a hematoma has developed when one breast becomes significantly bigger than the other, even 2-3 times bigger! It would also become very painful – a sure sign that the doctor must know and medical care must be administered immediately.
Fat Necrosis
When fat lacks a proper blood supply, it becomes necrotic or perishes. The affected tissue turns orange and begins to weep. This is a problem and could lead to major infections. Patients must seek immediate treatment to remove the necrotic tissue. However, it is a rare occurrence in breast tissue and can be seen in smokers, women who suffer from diabetes, or circulatory problems. Those who have undergone radioactive/chemotherapy treatment are at an increased risk of developing necrosis.
Infection
Normally, infections show up within three days following surgery. The signs are severe swelling, redness, significant pain that shows no sign of improvement, discharge, a foul smell, a fever of 38 degrees Celsius or higher, and intense heat stemming from the operated area.
General Dissatisfaction with Surgical Results of Mastopexy
Dissatisfaction will not occur if patients have realistic expectations from their breast lift surgery. In any surgery, skin is cut. Therefore, scarring is a given. You need to accept that in your mind. Anyway, these scars are never visible in public. When you know what to expect, you automatically keep your expectations real. And we at Chennai Plastic Surgery are known to exceed expectations positively.
