Patient Experiences
Physical and Emotional Relief:
Women report significant relief from chronic back, neck, and shoulder pain, skin irritation, and difficulty with clothing after surgery. Many also note improved posture, increased ability to exercise, and a boost in self-confidence.
Satisfaction with Results:
Patients consistently express satisfaction with their new breast size and shape, describing the results as natural-looking with minimal scarring when performed by experienced surgeons like Dr. Pinky Devi Ayyappan or Dr. Girish AC. One patient shared that after a large-volume reduction, she was able to wear bras two sizes smaller and regained her smile and confidence.
Supportive Care:
Clinics such as Pristyn Care, Pinkapple Aesthetics, and Curls & Curves are praised for their patient-centric approach, clear communication, and attentive post-op support. Many patients felt well-guided through every step, from consultation to recovery.
Recovery Process
Immediate Post-Op:
After surgery, the chest is bandaged and monitored for infection. Most procedures are outpatient, but some may require a 1-day hospital stay, especially for larger reductions.
First Week:
Expect swelling, bruising, and mild to moderate pain, which is well managed with prescribed medication. You’ll need to rest, avoid heavy lifting, and wear a supportive bra or compression garment day and night to minimize swelling and support healing.
Weeks 2–4:
Swelling and bruising subside. Most patients can resume light daily activities and return to work within 1–2 weeks, depending on the job. Walking is allowed after two weeks, but strenuous activity, gym, or yoga should be avoided for 2–3 months.
Months 2–3:
Breasts settle into their new shape, and scars begin to fade. Full recovery and final results are typically seen by 3–6 months.
Tips for Recovery:
Follow your surgeon’s aftercare instructions closely.
Take prescribed pain medication as needed.
Wear your compression bra as advised.
Keep incisions clean and dry.
Eat a balanced, protein-rich diet to promote healing.
Avoid smoking and alcohol for optimal recovery.
Attend all follow-up appointments.
