Breast reduction surgery (Reduction Mammoplasty) is a procedure designed to remove excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to reduce breast size and weight. The surgery also reshapes and lifts the breasts to create a firmer, more youthful contour.
This procedure not only improves appearance but also significantly reduces physical discomfort associated with overly large breasts.
Dr. Pushpendra Kanaujia selects the surgical technique based on breast size, degree of sagging, and desired outcome.
This technique is typically used for significant breast reduction. It involves incisions around the areola, vertically down to the breast crease, and along the fold of the breast. It allows maximum tissue removal and reshaping for dramatic size reduction.
Suitable for moderate reduction, this technique involves fewer incisions—around the areola and vertically down to the crease. It provides effective reshaping with reduced scarring compared to the traditional method.
For selected patients with good skin elasticity and minimal sagging, liposuction alone may be used to reduce breast volume. This method involves smaller incisions and minimal scarring but is not suitable for significant lifting.
Breast reduction surgery offers both physical and emotional benefits. By reducing breast weight and volume, patients experience significant relief from chronic back, neck, and shoulder pain. Improved posture and easier movement allow for a more active lifestyle. The procedure enhances body proportion, making clothing fit more comfortably and attractively. Many women report increased confidence and improved self-esteem following surgery. In addition to size reduction, the breasts are reshaped and lifted, creating a firmer and more youthful appearance.
Your journey begins with an in-depth consultation where Dr. Kanaujia:
Evaluates breast size and symmetry
Assesses skin quality and elasticity
Reviews medical history
Discusses desired breast size and shape
Explains surgical options and expected outcomes
A personalized surgical plan is created to ensure safe and proportionate results.
Breast reduction surgery is performed under general anesthesia in a fully equipped surgical facility.
During the procedure:
Excess breast tissue, fat, and skin are removed.
The remaining tissue is reshaped to create a natural contour.
The nipple and areola are repositioned for a lifted appearance (while preserving sensation whenever possible).
Incisions are closed with precise sutures.
The surgery typically takes 2 to 4 hours depending on complexity.
After surgery:
Mild swelling and discomfort are expected
Supportive surgical bras are worn
Pain is manageable with prescribed medication
Most patients return home the same day or after short observation
Detailed post-operative care instructions are provided to promote proper healing.
Recovery after breast reduction surgery is gradual. During the first week, patients may experience swelling, tightness, and mild discomfort. Light activities can usually be resumed within 7 to 10 days. Most patients return to non-strenuous work within two weeks. Swelling continues to decrease over the following weeks, and scars gradually begin to fade over several months. Final results are typically visible within 3 to 6 months as the breasts settle into their new shape and size. Wearing a supportive bra during recovery helps optimize healing and long-term results.

Yes. One of the main benefits of breast reduction surgery is relief from chronic back, neck, and shoulder pain caused by heavy breasts. By removing excess tissue and reducing weight, the procedure significantly improves posture and physical comfort.
Breast reduction does involve surgical incisions, so scars are permanent. However, they are placed strategically around the areola and along natural breast contours. Over time, scars fade and become less noticeable with proper care.
In many cases, breastfeeding is still possible, but it cannot be guaranteed. The ability depends on the surgical technique used and individual anatomy. This is discussed in detail during consultation with Dr. Pushpendra Kanaujia.
The amount of reduction depends on your body proportions, skin elasticity, and personal goals. Dr. Pushpendra Kanaujia carefully plans the procedure to achieve a size that looks natural, balanced, and comfortable for your frame.
Most patients return to light daily activities within 7–10 days and resume non-strenuous work in about two weeks. Full recovery, including swelling resolution and scar maturation, continues over several months.
