Many women come to me feeling physically exhausted and emotionally uncomfortable because of excessively large breasts. In my clinical experience, breast reduction is not about appearance alone—it is about relief, mobility, comfort, and confidence. Let me clarify the most important facts you should know before considering this surgery.
Are very large breasts really a medical problem?
Yes. Excessively large breasts can cause chronic pain, posture problems, and physical limitations.
Persistent neck, shoulder, and back pain
Difficulty bending, lifting, or exercising
Skin rashes and bra strap grooves
Emotional discomfort and embarrassment
Dr. Milan Doshi’s Tip:
When breasts interfere with daily life, reduction becomes a medical necessity, not a cosmetic choice.
Can exercise or diet reduce large breasts?
No. Breast size caused by glandular tissue does not reduce with diet or exercise.
Weight loss may reduce fat, not gland tissue
Firm or heavy breasts often remain unchanged
Pain and discomfort persist despite fitness efforts
Dr. Milan Doshi’s Tip:
If breast size hasn’t reduced despite weight loss, surgery is often the only effective solution.
What is Grade 1 breast reduction surgery?
Grade 1 breast reduction is ideal for mild enlargement and is minimally invasive.
Day-care procedure
Keyhole, stitch-less technique
Excess fat removed using VASER-assisted technology
Suitable for firm breasts needing small volume reduction
Performed under general anaesthesia
Recovery:
Office work: 2–5 days
Heavy activities: 2–3 weeks
Dr. Milan Doshi’s Tip:
VASER technology allows precise fat removal with faster recovery in selected cases.
What is Grade 2–3 breast reduction surgery?
Grade 2–3 reduction is done when breast volume is significantly large.
Removal of excess fat, breast tissue, and milk-producing glands
Excess skin is also removed
Helps achieve lighter, proportionate breasts
Recovery:
Office work: 5–7 days
Heavy activities: 2–3 weeks
Dr. Milan Doshi’s Tip:
Surgical planning focuses on comfort, symmetry, and long-term relief—not just size reduction.
Will breast reduction improve quality of life?
Yes. Most women report immediate physical relief and emotional comfort.
Reduced back and shoulder pain
Improved posture and mobility
Ability to exercise comfortably
Freedom to wear fitted clothing
Dr. Milan Doshi’s Tip:
Many patients say breast reduction is the most life-changing surgery they’ve undergone.
Is breast reduction surgery safe?
Yes, when performed by an experienced, board-certified cosmetic surgeon in a proper setup.
Modern techniques minimise scarring
Advanced pain management improves comfort
Safety depends on surgeon expertise and planning
Dr. Milan Doshi’s Tip:
The right surgeon and technology make all the difference in outcomes and recovery.
How soon can you return to normal life after breast reduction?
Recovery is structured and predictable with proper care.
Light daily activities resume early
Gradual return to routine
Exercise after medical clearance
Follow-ups ensure smooth healing
Dr. Milan Doshi’s Tip:
Following post-operative instructions is key to achieving the best result.
