Breast reduction is usually done for medical reasons, I know a woman who had it done because she's very small and had huge boobs and a result suffered really badly with her back, her life and health has improved so much after she had it done

Because technically both are cosmetic based surgery.

The definition of cosmetic surgery is non-essential surgery ie its purely for cosmetic reasons hence the name. Breast reduction is usually done for medical reasons, so no its not technically cosmetic based surgery even if one of the after effects is cosmetic. While mastectomy may fall under that its done because the patient has lost their breasts due to cancer, its pretty insulting to compare this to what India gloated about.
