Diagnosis 

  • The diagnosis is done prior to the surgery where the surgeon or the doctor at CARE Hospitals in India will check for the blood pressure, sugar level, weight, and other related issues.

  • You’ll go through a physical examination and later the blood tests (if necessary). The doctors can also recommend other biological fluid tests as per the condition.

  • You’ll be checked for the medical and family history of related illnesses. 

  • The doctor may also conduct imaging tests like ultrasounds, or X-rays. The imaging would give a brief of the internal organs. The breasts may also be analysed with the help of a mammogram. 

  • Before the surgery, you'll visit the surgeon to discuss your medical history, including whether you've had a lump removed from your breast or have any other medical disorders that affect your breasts. The surgeon will also inquire about your family's medical history.

  • Be absolutely honest with the surgeon about your medical history and why you want a breast reduction. Prepare to talk about any emotional troubles you've had with your breasts, how your breasts have physically felt to you, and any physical conditions you've had.

  • The surgeon may measure your breasts, and discuss with you how much breast tissue will need to be removed to accomplish your goal. You will also learn about preparing for surgery and planning for your recovery. Prior to the operation, you may get a mammography and a breast exam.

  • During your consultation, the surgeon will inquire about your habits, like if you smoke and what medications you take. To ensure appropriate healing, you may be required to stop smoking for a period of time before and after surgery. Your surgeon at CARE Hospitals will instruct you on what you must do.

Treatment

  • Depending on the issues and other circumstances, you may be able to have breast reduction surgery in Hyderabad in an outpatient clinic or you may be required to stay in the CARE Hospitals for at least one night. 

  • It is only analysed after the proper diagnosis by the top surgeons in India.

  • In any case, you will be given general anaesthesia, which means you will be put to "sleep" for the procedure.

  • Breast reduction surgery will take between 2 and 5 hours, or it can be longer depending on the risk factors.

  • Depending on the form and size of the mammary, how much tissue needs to be removed, and how one wishes to look after surgery, the surgeon can opt for the following treatments-liposuction or vertical or inverted T.

  • Liposuction- The surgeon at CARE Hospitals will make small incisions in your skin and implant a thin tube connected to a vacuum that suctions fat and fluids from your breast. This approach is suitable for modest reductions and patients whose skin will "snap back" into place.

  • Vertical or “lollipop”- This procedure is intended for mild breast reductions with obvious drooping. The surgeon will make cuts around your areola and down to the crease beneath your breast to remove superfluous tissue and fat, restructure the breast, and raise it.

  • Inverted-T- The surgeon will make cuts across the areola's edge, from the areola to the breast crease, and along the crease underneath the breast. This sort of surgery is appropriate for big reductions and persons who have a lot of sagging or unevenness.

How to prepare for Breast Reduction Surgery?

What happens during the procedure?

During breast reduction surgery, which is also known as reduction mammoplasty, the following steps usually occur:

  • Anesthesia: You will be given anesthesia to ensure you are comfortable and pain-free during the procedure. The type of anesthesia (general or local with sedation) will depend on your surgeon's recommendation and your medical history.
  • Incision: The surgeon will make incisions on your breasts. The type and pattern of incisions vary based on the amount of tissue to be removed, your breast size, and your specific anatomy. Common incision patterns include:
    • Around the areola (periareolar)
    • Vertically down from the areola to the breast crease (lollipop or vertical)
    • Inverted T-shaped incision (anchor or Wise pattern), which includes a horizontal incision along the breast crease
  • Tissue Removal: Excess breast tissue, fat, and skin are removed from each breast according to the surgical plan discussed with you beforehand. The amount removed will depend on your desired breast size and shape.
  • Reshaping and Repositioning: After excess tissue is removed, the remaining breast tissue is reshaped and lifted to achieve a more proportionate and aesthetically pleasing breast contour. The nipple and areola may be repositioned higher on the breast mound to enhance symmetry and appearance.
  • Closing Incisions: The incisions are carefully closed with sutures, and sometimes surgical drains may be placed temporarily to remove excess fluid and reduce swelling.
  • Dressing and Bandages: Sterile dressings or bandages are applied to protect the incision sites and support the breasts during initial healing.
  • Post-operative Care: You will be monitored in a recovery area until you are awake and stable. Instructions for post-operative care, including pain management, activity restrictions, and follow-up appointments, will be provided by your surgeon.
