Breast Reduction Surgery

Relieving discomfort while restoring comfort, balance, and confidence

Breast reduction surgery is a cosmetic procedure that reduces excess breast tissue and skin to achieve a more comfortable and proportionate breast size. Dr. Muddappa P. P., an experienced Plastic & Cosmetic Surgeon in Bangalore, performs breast reduction with a focus on safety, function, and natural shape.

Overly large breasts can cause physical discomfort as well as emotional distress. Many women experience back pain, neck strain, shoulder grooves from bra straps, posture problems, and skin irritation due to heavy breasts. Breast reduction surgery helps relieve these symptoms while improving breast shape and proportion.

At his practice in Bangalore, Dr. Muddappa P. P. offers breast reduction surgery that is carefully planned to suit each patient’s body structure and lifestyle. The goal is not just to reduce size, but to create breasts that feel lighter, balanced, and natural in appearance.

What Is Breast Reduction Surgery?

Breast reduction surgery involves removing excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to reduce breast size and weight. The nipples and areolae are repositioned to a more natural height while maintaining blood supply and sensation.

The procedure also improves breast shape, lifts sagging tissue, and creates better symmetry. The final breast size is decided after detailed discussion to ensure comfort and aesthetic balance.

A Thoughtful and Personalised Approach

Every patient’s body and concerns are different. Dr. Muddappa begins with a detailed consultation to understand symptoms, expectations, and medical history. Breast size, skin quality, posture, and overall body proportions are carefully assessed.

As a trained plastic and reconstructive surgeon, Dr. Muddappa focuses on preserving breast function and natural contour while achieving meaningful relief from discomfort. Clear communication about scars, recovery, and long-term outcomes helps patients make confident decisions.

The Breast Reduction Procedure

Breast reduction surgery is usually performed under general anaesthesia. The procedure typically takes three to four hours, depending on the amount of reduction required.

Excess tissue is removed, the breasts are reshaped, and the nipples are repositioned. Incisions are placed strategically so scars fade well over time. Patients usually stay in the hospital for a short period after surgery.

Recovery and Healing

Swelling, soreness, and tightness are common in the initial weeks and gradually improve. Most patients return to light activities within two weeks, while strenuous activity should be avoided for a few weeks longer.

Supportive garments are advised during healing. Dr. Muddappa provides detailed aftercare instructions and regular follow-up visits to ensure smooth recovery and optimal results.

Patients often report immediate relief from neck, back, and shoulder pain once healing begins.
