Breast reduction surgery (reduction mammoplasty) removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to reduce size and improve shape. Ideal candidates include women with very large or heavy breasts (macromastia) causing back, neck, or shoulder pain, bra strap grooves, skin rashes, or difficulty in physical activity. It is also suitable for those with breast asymmetry or significant sagging.
Candidates should be in good general health, have a stable weight, and realistic expectations. Smoking cessation is important for proper healing.
Recovery typically takes 4–6 weeks. In the first week, patients experience swelling, discomfort, and limited mobility; a support bra is worn continuously. Most can resume light work within 5–7 days. By 2–3 weeks, swelling decreases and normal daily activities can gradually resume. Strenuous exercise and heavy lifting are avoided for at least 4–6 weeks. Final results and scar maturation continue over several months.
Post-operative management includes proper wound care, wearing a compression bra, taking prescribed medications, and attending follow-ups. Silicone gel or sheets may help improve scars. Risks include scarring, altered ni**le sensation, infection, and possible impact on breastfeeding. Overall, the surgery provides significant relief from physical discomfort and improves quality of life
