Areas Treated with Breast Reduction
Breast Reduction centers on decreasing the size of the breast tissue and giving the breast its new form.
- Tissue of breast: This entails removal of excess breast tissue to decrease the breast size.
- Skin of breast: Excess breast skin is eliminated in order to obtain a firm breast shape.
- Breast Shape: The breast tissue left behind is given a new shape.
- Nipple and Areola Placement: Nipple and areola position is changed if necessary according to the new breast form.
Patients who want to enhance breast volume while addressing sagging may consider Breast Augmentation Mastopexy Surgery, which combines breast augmentation with a breast lift.
What to Expect After Breast Reduction Recovery
Recovery after Breast Reduction Surgery takes time as the breasts heal and gradually settle into their new shape. Swelling, tenderness, and tightness are common during the early healing period.
- First Few Days: Rest and proper aftercare are important during the first few days. Swelling, tenderness, and mild discomfort gradually improve as the initial healing begins.
- Daily Activities: Light daily activities gradually become easier as recovery progresses. Avoid movements that strain the chest or cause discomfort during the early healing period.
- Exercise and Heavy Lifting: Heavy lifting, intense workouts, and strenuous activities require additional healing time. Gradually return to exercise based on your recovery and Dr. Sohrab’s advice.
- Follow-Up Appointments: Follow-up visits allow Dr. Sohrab to check your healing and monitor the breast shape. He also provides further aftercare instructions throughout your recovery.

As with any surgery, there are risks and complications associated with breast reduction surgery. Scars from surgery will be present and only improve with time. You will experience a loss of feeling and changes in sensation of your breasts and nipples. Other complications like infection and bleeding will also occur. It will be difficult for you to determine your ability to breastfeed after surgery and there is also a chance that you will not be able to breastfeed.
Some differences in your breasts will remain or develop after surgery. Complications and unsatisfactory results may occur to the extent that additional surgery will be necessary to correct the situation.For more information about the possible complications and safety considerations, read this guide to breast reduction surgery risks and safety from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.
Differences Between Breast Reduction and Breast Lift
Breast lift is a procedure that lifts droopy breasts by removing excess skin and rearranging the breast tissues. This process helps in making the breast tissues firmer and gives the appearance of lifted breasts. The nipples and areolas can also be shifted to balance the breasts.
Breast reduction surgery involves the surgical removal of excess breast tissue, fat, and skin in order to decrease the size of the breast and also its weight. This is done in order to relieve the patient from the pain caused by the heavy weight of the breasts including neck pain, back pain, and pain in shoulders.

Procedure of Breast Reduction Surgery
Breast Reduction involves several stages, from surgical planning to reshaping the breast tissue.
1. Surgical Planning
Dr. Sohrab marks the breasts before surgery and plans the amount of tissue and skin to remove. The incision pattern depends on breast size, skin excess, breast shape, and the degree of reduction required.
2. Removing Excess Tissue
During surgery, Dr. Sohrab removes excess breast tissue and skin to reduce the overall breast volume. The amount removed depends on the planned reduction and the existing breast anatomy.
3. Reshaping the Breasts
After excision of the excess tissues, the breast tissues that have been left behind are sculpted into an appropriately smaller and symmetrical form. The surgeon repositions the nipples and areolae when necessary to suit the new breast shape.
4. Closure of the Incisions
Once the surgeon achieves the desired breast shape, they close the incisions. The surgical technique determines the final scar pattern.
