Breast reduction is a cosmetic surgery designed to decrease the size of the breasts and reshape them so that they are proportional to the rest of the body. This procedure relieves discomfort such as back, neck and shoulder pain caused by excessive breast weight.

When to consider a breast reduction?
‍
You should consider a breast reduction if:

- Your breasts are disproportionately large compared to the rest of your body and cause physical discomfort.

- Your breasts are saggy with your nipples pointing down.
‍
- One breast is significantly larger than the other.


Procedure

Excess breast tissue, fat, and skin are removed through incisions. The nipple and areola are repositioned in a higher position and can be reduced if necessary. In some cases, liposuction may be used to refine contours.

Recovery and results

The recovery time varies from patient to patient, but final results are usually seen over a period of 3 to 4 months. During this time, it is important to wear compression garments and follow the instructions to promote healing and obtain the best results.
