Breast Reduction (Reduction Mammoplasty) in Delhi

Breast reduction surgery (reduction mammoplasty) at Sama Hospital, South Delhi removes excess breast tissue, fat and skin to relieve the neck, back and shoulder pain of overly large breasts and create a lighter, better-proportioned, more comfortable shape — performed by experienced plastic surgeons in a NABH-accredited hospital.

Breast reduction, or reduction mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes excess breast tissue, fat and skin to bring the breasts into better proportion with your body. Beyond appearance, it relieves the physical strain of heavy breasts — back, neck and shoulder pain, poor posture, skin irritation and difficulty exercising.

You may benefit if overly large breasts cause chronic back, neck or shoulder pain, rashes in the breast fold, difficulty with physical activity, or trouble finding well-fitting clothes. Ideal candidates are in good health, at a stable weight, and non-smokers or willing to stop before surgery.

The surgeon removes excess tissue and skin, reshapes the remaining breast tissue, and repositions the nipple to a natural height, often improving symmetry at the same time. The goal is a lighter, firmer, well-proportioned breast that relieves symptoms and looks natural.

Breast reduction is performed under general anaesthesia and usually takes two to three hours. Incisions are placed around the areola and beneath the breast so they can be concealed by a bra or swimsuit. Our modern operating theatres, anaesthesia team and 24×7 critical-care support ensure a safe, closely monitored procedure and recovery.

Most patients stay in hospital for one to two days and wear a supportive garment while healing. Light activity resumes within one to two weeks and full activity by four to six weeks. Relief from the physical strain of heavy breasts is usually felt immediately, and the results are long-lasting.
