BRAEST REDUCTION SUREGRY

---

This surgery is usually done under general anaesthesia. After surgery drains will be connected to both breasts to remove collection of blood. Patients can go home usually in 3-4 days time after breast reduction surgery. You are advised to wear a sports bra to support the breasts for the first 3 weeks.

Usually  breast reduction is done by inverted T shaped incision or a vertical incision method. The scar will be running below the nipple vertically downward and then sideways. This sideways scar will be below the breast in the fold so that it won't be visible. The scar fades away massage and scar therapy.

In breast reduction surgery the lactiferous ducts which carry milk  to nipple will be preserved. But still 10-15% risk of duct injury is described in the literature. If such complication happens milk will be collected in the breast without being able to be expressed.

Breast Reduction surgery usually costs upto 1.2- 1.5 lakhs which include surgical costs and hospital expenses.
