Two Common Questions Before Breast Reduction Surgery

Expert Insights from Plastic Surgeons at Arna Dermatology & Aesthetics, Jubilee Hills

Breast reduction surgery (reduction mammoplasty) is often considered by women experiencing physical discomfort, restricted movement, or lifestyle challenges due to large breasts. At Arna Dermatology & Aesthetics, we regularly consult patients from across Hyderabad, including Jubilee Hills, Banjara Hills, Madhapur, and Gachibowli, who share similar concerns before deciding on surgery.

Below are clear, evidence-based answers to the two questions most frequently asked during consultations.

Q1: Will I lose nipple sensation after breast reduction surgery?

Loss of nipple sensation is a common concern, but in most cases, sensation is preserved. Modern surgical techniques focus on protecting the nerve supply to the nipple–areola complex while reducing excess tissue.

Some patients may experience temporary numbness or altered sensation during the early healing phase. This typically improves over several weeks to months as the nerves recover.

Permanent loss of sensation is uncommon, especially when the procedure is carefully planned and performed by an experienced plastic surgeon using contemporary techniques.

Q2: Will I be able to breastfeed after breast reduction surgery?

Many women are able to breastfeed after breast reduction surgery. Current approaches aim to preserve milk ducts, glandular tissue, and blood supply wherever possible.

Breastfeeding ability can vary depending on individual anatomy and the extent of tissue removal, but successful breastfeeding after surgery is not unusual. Patients who plan future pregnancies should discuss this during consultation so the surgical approach can be tailored accordingly.

Why Women Consider Breast Reduction Surgery

Breast reduction is often sought for functional relief rather than cosmetic reasons. Common concerns include chronic neck or back pain, bra strap grooves, recurrent skin irritation, posture issues, limited physical activity, difficulty finding well-fitting clothes, and reduced confidence.

Most patients report noticeable improvements in comfort, mobility, and overall quality of life after surgery.
