Breast surgery is a procedure performed on the breasts for various reasons. The surgery alters the appearance and structure of the tissues for medical or cosmetic purposes in both males and females. Breast surgery is broadly classified into two types- cosmetic breast surgery and reconstructive breast surgery.
You can opt for cosmetic breast surgery in case you are not satisfied with the appearance, shape, and size of the breasts. Reconstructive breast surgery is often performed as a medical necessity to address painful symptoms caused due to breast lumps or excessively large breasts.

The reasons to get breast surgery are broadly classified into two categories-
The different types of breast surgery involve the following-
Here, we will explain all these types of breast surgery in detail.
This type of breast surgery is performed to reduce the size of large breasts and make them proportionate to the rest of the body. It can be performed for medical and cosmetic reasons. If a woman has macromastia or breast hypertrophy due to which the breast tissues have become excessively large, reduction mammoplasty is the best option.
The oversized breasts also caused serious medical problems, such as chronic pain in the head, neck, shoulder, and back. Furthermore, secondary health problems may also develop due to overgrowth, such as poor blood circulation, impaired breathing, skin chafing, etc. Breast reduction surgery allows the surgeon to remove the excess tissues and restore the normal appearance and function of the breasts while resolving medical concerns.
As the name suggests, this type of breast surgery is performed to augment or increase the breast size using fat grafts or breast implants. The procedure can alter the shape, size, and texture of the breasts in the best way possible. In most cases, breast augmentation is performed as an elective cosmetic surgery with the help of artificial breast implants.
Cosmetic breast augmentation involves implanting fat grafts or breast implants underneath or above the muscles under the breast tissues. When breast augmentation is performed as a reconstructive procedure, a tissue expander is placed at the recipient site to accommodate the artificial implants.
This type of breast surgery is performed to lift saggy breasts. It can be done by changing or modifying the size, contour, and elevation of the breasts. In a breast lift, the sagginess is removed by excising the excess glandular, adipose, skin tissues, overstretched suspensory ligaments, etc. A mastopexy is often combined with breast reduction or implants to deliver the desired results.
Breast lift surgery can be performed for women of all age groups to give them younger-looking breasts. Various techniques that can be used for lifting are the anchor technique, inverted-T technique, and lollipop technique. Each of these techniques uses a different approach to remove the excess tissues and give the lifting effect.
Commonly known as gynecomastia surgery, male breast reduction is the procedure of removing the enlarged breast glandular and fatty tissues in males. Normally, breast tissues are present in both males and females. But these tissues don’t grow in males naturally. However, due to hormonal imbalance, these breast tissues start to grow in males and cause cosmetic and medical concerns.
Initially, the condition can be managed by addressing the cause of the hormonal imbalance. But if the tissues continue to grow, surgical removal becomes necessary to address the individual’s concern.
Also known as a partial mastectomy, breast segmental resection, or breast-wide local excision, lumpectomy is the surgical removal of a portion of the breast tissues due to medical reasons. A lumpectomy is recommended to the patient as a treatment for benign or malignant tumors. It is also considered a breast conservation surgery as a considerable amount of breast tissue is preserved during the procedure.
This type of breast surgery is performed to remove one or both breasts, partially or completely. It is most commonly carried out to treat breast cancer and to prevent cancer from spreading to other healthy tissues. Generally, the surgeon also removes the lymph nodes present around the breasts to ensure that the cancer has not spread to the surrounding tissues.
In many patients, breast reconstruction is performed immediately after mastectomy to restore the natural appearance. The reconstruction may involve using breast expanders, autologous tissue reconstruction, and/or combining these techniques.
Axillaplasty is the procedure of removal of abnormal breast tissues in the axilla. Normally, the tail of breast tissues extends to the underarm or axilla. In some cases, the breast tissues start to grow in the underarm region and create a bulge. In some cases, the bulge is not painful but causes cosmetic concerns. In other cases, the bulge becomes painful and restricts arm movements.
To address these concerns, axillaplasty is recommended for the patient. During the procedure, the breast glandular tissues, lymph nodes, and/or fat tissues are removed. The removal is done through a combination of excision and liposuction techniques.

Choosing the best breast surgeon requires a lot of effort and research. But you can make the search easier by calling Pristyn Care. We have our own team of plastic surgeons across various cities in India.
Type of Treatment | Complete Recovery Period | Hospital Stay |
---|---|---|
Axillary Breast | 4-6 weeks : up to 6 months | Varies, often outpatient |
Breast Augmentation | 4-6 weeks : up to 6 months | Usually outpatient, may require an overnight stay |
Breast Lift | 4-6 weeks : up to 6 months | Usually outpatient, may require an overnight stay |
Breast Lump (Multiple) | 4-6 weeks : up to 6 months | Varies, often outpatient |
Breast Reduction | 4-6 weeks : up to 6 months | Usually requires an overnight stay |
The duration of breast surgery may vary from 1 to 2 hours. The actual duration of the procedure depends on the type of surgery being performed. For instance, a breast lump removal surgery will take around 1 hour and 30 minutes, while breast implant surgery may take around 2 hours to complete.
Health insurance may cover the cost of breast surgery if it is performed for medical reasons. This includes procedures such as cancerous lump removal surgery, breast reduction surgery, male breast reduction surgery, etc. However, if the surgery is performed for cosmetic reasons, the insurance company won’t cover the expenses, and the patient will have to bear the entire cost personally. Such procedures include breast implants, breast lift, etc.
Mostly, doctors recommend using a compression bra after a person has had breast surgery. The compression garment helps to keep the muscles intact, reduce swelling, and allow ease of movement.
The recovery period after different types of breast surgery varies considerably. In some cases, such as after gynecomastia surgery, lumpectomy, breast reduction, etc., the recovery takes around 4 to 6 weeks. However, in other cases, such as breast lift, breast augmentation, etc., the patient may require longer to recover completely.
Every patient requires a specific amount of rest after breast surgery. Typically, a patient can resume normal activities within 5 to 7 days. However, there will be some restrictions on physical activities until the patient heals completely.
