Surgery: Breast Reduction Surgery In Mumbai
You will have a detailed consultation with your surgeon in which he will ask about your previous medical history, and any medicines you are taking. He will request mammography to eliminate the chance/risk of breast cancer.
The surgery is performed mainly under general or local anesthesia with intravenous sedation.
In the first step, the doctor places the incision across the lower side of the areola, and on the lower crease of the breast. After that, he removes extra skin, fat, and glandular tissues and closes the incisions with sutures. Sometimes, the surgery involves the repositioning of the areola and nipples.
In some cases, the doctor removes extra fat with the help of liposuction. Sometimes, only liposuction is enough when fat cells contribute mainly to larger breast size.
The duration of the surgery varies from 3 to 5 hours and is performed in a doctor’s facility or at a hospital. Patients don’t need to stay at the hospital and can go home the same day.
