What are the causes of large breasts?

Genetics If a woman in your family has large breasts, you are more likely to develop them as well.
Hormonal changes Some women develop large breasts due to hormonal sensitivity
Weight gain Breasts contain fatty tissue. Breast size can increase in the women who have more fat in the chest area
Pregnancy and breastfeeding Due to pregnancy and breast feeding, breasts can increase in volume and sag
Medications and hormonal treatments Fertility medications and estrogen therapy can also lead to breast enlargement in women.
Lifestyle Poor posture and lifestyle habits can also lead to breast enlargement

When large breasts become the cause of medical concern, breast reduction in Delhi becomes your last resort. If you or your loved one is dealing with overly large breasts, you can now book a personalised appointment with Dr Shobhit Gupta.

  • If your breast size is affecting your daily activities and confidence, then it is your cue to get the surgery.
  • Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should postpone the surgery because it can lead to unsatisfactory results.
  • Those with unrealistic expectations are also discouraged from proceeding with the surgery.
  • Women dealing with severe health conditions should refrain from the surgery.

Breast Reduction Surgery Techniques at Shobhit Aesthetics

Breast reduction surgery in Delhi involves the use of multiple techniques. The choice of the correct technique depends on :

  • Breast size
  • Amount of sagging
  • Skin quality
  • Nipple position

The techniques that we use at Shobhit Aesthetics are:

Technique Characteristic Incisons Benefits
Anchor Technique It is also known as inverted T and is used for severe sagging Incisions are around nipple and a vertical line below the nipple in an anchor shape Maximum breast reduction possible and the shape of breast is corrected in the best possible way.
Vertical scar technique or lollipop technique Best for moderate breast sagging and size Incisions are made around nipple and a vertical line below nipple Less scars and natural breast shape
Donut Technique Best for women with minimal breast sagging Only a circular incision around the nipple Very less scars and fast recovery

Liposuction-Only Breast Reduction at Shobhit Aesthetics

Liposuction-only breast reduction in Delhi is a minimally invasive option designed for women whose breast enlargement is primarily due to excess fatty tissue rather than glandular tissue. This technique is suitable for patients with good skin elasticity and minimal sagging, where the skin can naturally retract after fat removal.

This approach is ideal for:

  • Mild to moderate breast enlargement
  • Fat-dominant breasts
  • Younger patients or those with firm skin
  • Patients who do not require nipple repositioning

While liposuction offers size reduction and lighter breasts, it does not significantly lift the breasts. Therefore, it is not recommended for patients with noticeable sagging or gland-heavy breasts.

Breast Reduction with Lift (Reduction Mammoplasty + Mastopexy)

Breast reduction with lift is a comprehensive surgical approach for women with large, heavy breasts combined with significant sagging. In this technique, excess breast tissue, fat, and skin are removed, and the breasts are reshaped and lifted to achieve a lighter, firmer, and more youthful contour.

This technique is ideal for:

  • Large or very heavy breasts
  • Moderate to severe sagging
  • Post-pregnancy or post-weight-loss changes
  • Women experiencing back, neck, or shoulder discomfort.

Although this surgery involves more incisions than liposuction, the scars are carefully placed and fade gradually over time. The results are long-lasting and provide both functional relief and aesthetic improvement.
