Breast reduction, or reduction mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to reduce the size and weight of the breasts while also improving their shape and proportion. This procedure is ideal for individuals experiencing physical discomfort, posture problems, or self-consciousness due to overly large breasts. By reshaping and lifting the breasts, breast reduction not only enhances aesthetics but also significantly improves comfort and overall quality of life.
It’s important to understand that breast reduction surgery involves visible scarring, especially during the early stages of healing. Dr. Rodríguez is committed to using advanced techniques to ensure the smallest and most discreet scars possible, but scarring is a natural part of the procedure. Over time, these scars typically fade and become less noticeable.

Your journey begins with a personalized consultation with Dr. Rodríguez to discuss your aesthetic concerns and objectives. It will evaluate your breast shape, skin elasticity and your overall health to create a personalized surgical plan. The pre-operative instructions will ensure that you are well prepared for the procedure.
On the day of your surgery, you'll be given general anesthesia to ensure your comfort. The procedure involves removing excess breast tissue, carefully repositioning it and removing excess skin. The procedure includes repositioning the nipple and areola.
After surgery, you'll usually be able to go home the same day. Initial swelling and discomfort are normal and should go away in a few weeks. Dr. Rodriguez will provide you with detailed instructions on aftercare and schedule appointments to track your progress. Most patients can resume light activities within a week and return to normal activities within 8 weeks.
In the first week, rest with movement is crucial to ensure proper healing. Dr. Rodriguez will give you detailed after-care instructions to help you manage the discomfort and take care of the incisions. You may experience swelling and bruising, which is normal. Most patients can resume light activities within 1 week.
As the initial swelling and bruising disappear, you will begin to see the first results of breast lifting. During this phase, you can return to work and moderate activities, but it is essential to avoid lifting heavy objects, strenuous exercise or any activity that puts pressure on your chest.
After one month, most of the swelling will be gone. For the next few months, the incisions will continue to heal.
