Breast Reduction
Relieve discomfort and achieve a proportionate bust with breast reduction surgery.
What is Breast Reduction?
Breast reduction (reduction mammaplasty) removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to achieve a breast size proportionate to the body. Dr. Sarika Gangwar uses advanced techniques that minimize scarring while providing relief from physical discomfort caused by overly large breasts. This procedure often has significant medical benefits.
Why is Breast Reduction Needed?
Excessively large breasts cause chronic neck pain, back pain, skin irritation, and difficulty exercising. Beyond physical discomfort, they can cause emotional distress and limit clothing options. Breast reduction provides immediate and lasting relief.
Who is Eligible?
- Women experiencing physical symptoms from large breasts
- Breasts are fully developed
- Non-smokers
- Good overall health
- No plans for future pregnancy (which may alter results)
