Bangalore, India: Continuing his commitment to advancing surgical excellence and patient outcomes, Dr. Karan Shetty, a leading plastic and reconstructive surgeon in Bangalore, recently presented his clinical insights on Vertical Scar Breast Reduction at the annual conference of the Indian Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons during AESURG 2026.
The presentation focused on why the vertical scar technique is increasingly being adopted in modern breast reduction and reconstructive procedures, highlighting improvements in surgical precision, scar placement, breast shaping, and patient recovery.
With over a decade of experience in plastic, aesthetic, and reconstructive surgery, Dr. Karan Shetty shared clinical perspectives drawn from his surgical practice at Tara Healthcare, where he performs a wide range of body contouring and breast procedures.
The Shift Toward Modern Breast Reduction Techniques
Breast reduction surgery is no longer viewed purely as an aesthetic procedure. Increasingly, patients seek the surgery for functional relief from chronic neck pain, shoulder discomfort, posture issues, and skin irritation caused by disproportionately large breasts.
During his session, Dr. Karan Shetty discussed how the Vertical Scar Breast Reduction technique is helping surgeons achieve:
- Improved breast contour and projection
- Reduced visible scarring compared to traditional anchor-pattern methods
- Better long-term shape stability
- Faster recovery timelines in selected cases
He also emphasized the importance of case selection and individualized surgical planning, noting that no single technique suits all patients.
Conference Learning and Clinical Application
National surgical conferences such as AESURG provide a platform for knowledge exchange among plastic surgeons across India, enabling the adoption of evolving surgical methods backed by clinical experience and outcomes.
Dr. Karan Shetty highlighted that continuous academic participation helps refine techniques and improve patient safety standards.
“Breast reduction surgery today combines both functional and aesthetic goals. The vertical scar approach, when appropriately planned, allows us to optimize shape while minimizing unnecessary scarring,” said Dr. Karan Shetty.
Rising Awareness Around Breast Reconstructive Procedures in India
There is growing awareness among patients about breast procedures that improve both physical comfort and body proportion. Surgeons are also seeing an increase in consultations for procedures that fall under reconstructive and quality-of-life surgery, rather than purely cosmetic enhancement.
Dr. Karan Shetty noted that patient education plays a critical role in helping individuals understand available treatment options, recovery expectations, and realistic outcomes.
Strengthening Surgical Expertise Through Academic Contribution
By presenting at AESURG 2026, Dr. Karan Shetty continues to contribute to professional dialogue around evolving surgical practices while reinforcing his role as a breast reconstructive surgeon in Bangalore focused on safe, outcome-driven care.
His ongoing academic participation reflects a broader commitment to integrating modern surgical techniques with patient-centered treatment planning.
