Service Description

Breast Reduction Surgery (Reduction Mammoplasty) is a procedure designed to reduce the size and weight of overly large breasts. Excess breast tissue, fat, and skin are removed to create breasts that are lighter, well-shaped, and proportionate to the body. Many women suffer from physical discomfort such as neck pain, back pain, shoulder grooves, skin irritation, and difficulty in physical activity due to very large breasts. Breast reduction surgery helps relieve these symptoms while improving body contour and self-confidence. At Tanvi Laser Cosmetic & Plastic Surgery Center, Shimoga, the procedure is performed by an experienced plastic surgeon using modern surgical techniques to ensure safe results, minimal scars, and natural breast shape. Who Can Benefit From Breast Reduction? You may be a good candidate if you have: Very large or heavy breasts (macromastia) Chronic neck, shoulder, or back pain Skin irritation or rashes beneath the breasts Shoulder indentations from bra straps Difficulty in exercise or physical activities Poor posture due to breast weight Self-consciousness about breast size The surgery is usually recommended once breast development is complete. How Breast Reduction Surgery is Performed The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia and takes about 2–3 hours. Steps include: Surgical markings are made to plan the new breast shape. Incisions are made around the areola and lower breast. Excess breast tissue, fat, and skin are removed. The breast is reshaped to a smaller, lifted contour. The nipple and areola are repositioned to a natural level. Incisions are closed carefully to minimize scarring. The result is smaller, firmer, and well-proportioned breasts. Benefits of Breast Reduction Patients experience several physical and emotional benefits: Relief from neck and back pain Improved posture Easier physical activity and exercise Better fitting clothing Improved breast shape Enhanced self-confidence and body image Recovery After Surgery Recovery is generally smooth with proper care.
