Breast reduction is a procedure to remove extra fat, tissue, and skin from your breasts. Men with conditions such as gynecomastia may also undergo the surgery.
Surgery will take about 2 to 5 hours.The surgeon will make cuts around your areola and down to the crease beneath your breast, remove extra tissue and fat, reshape the breast, and lift it.He may use drainage tubes and then stitch up your breasts . You may also need to wear a surgical bra.
The doctor will write blood tests such as sugar, hemogram, and urine tests prior to the breast reduction surgery. A mammogram is also done to check for any problems. The doctor also evaluates the size, shape, and symmetry of your breasts and takes photographs for post-operative reference. The package typically includes the cost of these tests.
Any medicine taken before or after your admission to the hospital is not covered in the package. However, medicines that you consume at the hospital given by your doctor or nurse are a part of your package.
It's essential to get your breast examined post the surgery every 5 to 10 months for the first year. You will be prescribed pain medications and your surgeon may recommend placing ice packs wrapped in a cloth gently over sore sites to aid with pain and swelling.

Until recently, the only method of breast reduction available was a surgical procedure called breast reduction ( Mammoplasty). This procedure involves cutting out a section of the breast, repositioning the nipple and elevating the whole breast.
Breast liposuction can reduce breast size between 1/3 to 1/2 of the current size. The older patients usually have larger amounts of fat and therefore they have greater degree of size reduction.
Duration of surgery is 2 to 3 hours..
The whole procedure takes approximately 1.5 to 2 hours depending on breast size.
This surgery is done mainly by plastic or cosmetic surgeon.
The procedure is performed under general or local anesthesia the breasts are marked into sections with a marking pen then small incisions are made in the crease of the breast base. Tumescent fluid is infused into the breasts then gently sucked out with the fat through very fine micro cannula. Dressings are applied to the tiny holes after the procedure. This whole procedure takes approximately 1.5 to 2 hours depending on breast size. Patients are discharged on the same day.

This surgery is done under general anaesthesia, the recent method of breast reduction is liposuction. Small incisions (about 0.5mm) are made in the crease of the breast base. Tumescent fluid is infused into the breasts then gently sucked out with the fat through very fine cannula.
You have to wear surgical bra for few weeks after the surgery initially .Then after 4 to 6 weeks you can switch to wear free sports bra.
You should sleep with your head up, on your back, elevating your chest , keeping a pillow under your back for 1 to 2 months
Do not wear bra with underwire for 1 to 2 months, you should take medications regularly. Edema. soreness, pain, swelling is present few days after surgery, it should settle down in 1 to 2 weeks. One should sleep on back
Follow up visit is planned after 8 to 10 days to remove suture if they are non absorbable
In some cases the nerve connected to the nipple is damaged, which slowly regenerates and the sensation also recovers
The symptoms will improve within a day or two after surgery.
The small access holes are 1-2mm wide. There are usually 2-3 per side and these settle very quickly. They are not sutured after the procedure and essentially are invisible after a couple of weeks. As all the instruments used in this surgery are quite blunt, there is generally no change to how the nipple feels.
In general you should plan on taking 2 to 3 days off work. It would be about 3 weeks before normal
It is essential that a compression garment is worn for 3 – 6 months.
Tenderness, swelling and bruising around the breasts is normal and usually disappear within 2 weeks. It is normal for the tumescent fluid and a light staining of blood to seep from the holes for the first 24 – 48hours following the procedure. These small nicks heal quickly and are virtually undetectable over time.
Most patients are back at work within a few days or a week of their procedure due to the less traumatic nature of the procedure.
Scarring is not significant with breast liposuction due to the tiny incisions made. These small nicks heal in a short period with undetectable scar which continue to fade over a period of time.

The skin, fat and the tissues once removed will not grow back so the breast reduction is a permanent process. But if you gain weight in future then new fat cells will be deposited in the breasts which will make the size bigger.
