What Breast Reduction Surgery Involves?

Breast reduction, also called reduction mammoplasty, reshapes the breast to a size that suits your body and relieves the strain that large breasts place on the back, neck, and shoulders. Dr. Dhruv Chavan removes surplus glandular tissue, fat, and skin, then lifts and reshapes the remaining breast.

The technique is usually a vertical short-scar reduction, with an anchor technique used for larger reductions. Surgery is performed under general anaesthesia, most patients are discharged the next day, and the amount of tissue removed ranges from 200 grams in a small reduction to 2 kilograms or more in a large one. Dr DC also uses 3D body scanning to plan the procedure and set realistic expectations before surgery.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does breast reduction surgery cost in Pune?

Breast reduction surgery at Dr DC Plastic Surgery in Pune ranges from around Rs. 2,00,000 to Rs. 4,00,000 depending on the amount of tissue removed and the technique used. The package covers the surgeon fee, anaesthesia, facility charges, room stay, and follow-up consultations.

Additional costs such as pre-operative tests, medications, and the surgical garment are extra. A full cost breakdown and 0 percent interest EMI through Fibe are explained at the consultation.

How much smaller will my breasts be after surgery?
Breast reduction typically reduces the breast by 1 to 4 or more cup sizes, depending on how much tissue is removed. Dr. Dhruv Chavan removes between 200 grams and 2 kilograms or more per breast, aiming for a size that is proportionate and comfortable for your body. The goal is a natural, balanced result rather than the smallest possible size. Your target size is discussed and planned at the consultation using 3D body scanning.
Is breast reduction covered by insurance in India?
Breast reduction may sometimes be claimable through health insurance when it is performed to relieve a functional problem such as chronic back pain, rather than for cosmetic reasons. Coverage depends on your insurer and documentation. Dr DC Plastic Surgery provides a discharge summary and medical records to support a claim, though approval is never guaranteed and terms vary between companies. Confirm the details with your own insurer in advance.
Will I be able to breastfeed after breast reduction?
Dr. Dhruv Chavan uses nipple-sparing techniques whenever possible to preserve the potential for breastfeeding, and many patients are able to attempt it afterwards. However, no breast surgery can guarantee breastfeeding ability. If future breastfeeding is a priority, discuss it at your consultation so it can be factored into the surgical plan.
How long is the recovery after breast reduction?
Most patients return to desk work within 8 to 10 days after breast reduction and resume light exercise at around 4 weeks. Running, upper-body training, and swimming usually resume from around 6 weeks. Dr. Dhruv Chavan reviews your recovery at scheduled follow-ups on Day 3, Day 10, Day 14, and at Months 3, 6, and 12, and confirms when it is safe to progress.
