What does a breast reduction consist of?
Breast reduction surgerytambién conocido como mamoplastia de reducción, is a surgical procedure designed to decrease breast size by removing excess fat, glandular tissue, and skin. The goal is to achieve smaller, lighter, and firmer breasts with a natural and harmonious shape.
During the procedure, the surgeon may also reduce the size of the areola to create a more youthful and aesthetic appearance.
Benefits beyond aesthetics
While many patients choose reducción de senos for cosmetic reasons, the procedure also provides significant health benefits. Overly large breasts can cause:
- Persistent pain in the back, neck, and shoulders.
- Skin irritation or rashes under the breast crease.
- Poor posture and nerve discomfort such as numbness or tingling in the arms or hands.
- Bra strap indentations, stretch marks, and difficulty finding clothes that fit properly.
- Low self-esteem and limitations in physical activity.
Reduction mammaplasty helps relieve these issues by creating a more proportionate and comfortable bust, improving both quality of life and self-confidence.
How is the procedure performed?
The surgery usually lasts between 2 and 5 hours and is performed under general anesthesia. The surgeon makes three incisions:
- Around the areola.
- From the areola down to the breast crease.
- Along the fold beneath the breast.
Then, the excess tissue, fat, and skin are removed, and the nipple and areola are repositioned to a higher, more youthful location. Finally, the incisions are carefully closed with sutures, reshaping the breast contour.
