What is a breast reduction?
Breast reduction, or reduction mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to reduce the size and weight of the breasts while improving their shape and proportion. This procedure is ideal for individuals who experience physical discomfort or posture issues 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 in the early stages of healing. Although Dr. Rodríguez uses advanced techniques to make the scars as small and discreet as possible, scarring is a natural part of this procedure. Over time, these scars typically fade and become less noticeable.
Why choose breast reduction?
Reduction mammoplasty is ideal for women who want to reduce the size of their breasts and improve their shape, achieving a harmonious appearance with their body, in addition to relieving symptoms associated with large or disproportionate breasts, such as neck, back and shoulder pain.

It's normal to have questions. Here we solve the most common ones.
Will breast reduction surgery leave scars?
Yes, a breast reduction involves incisions that leave scars. While these scars are highly visible during the early stages of recovery, they fade significantly over time with proper care.
Can breast reduction surgery improve posture?
Yes, breast reduction can alleviate tension in the back, neck and shoulders, often resulting in better posture and reduced pain.
Are the results of breast reduction surgery permanent?
Yes, the results are long-lasting. However, factors such as significant weight changes, pregnancy, or aging can affect breast size and shape over time.
How long does recovery take after breast reduction surgery?
Most patients return to light activities in 1 to 2 weeks and resume more strenuous activities after 4 to 6 weeks. Full results are visible once the swelling subsides, usually after a few months.
Will breast reduction surgery affect my ability to breastfeed?
In some cases, breast reduction surgery may affect breastfeeding, depending on the amount of tissue removed and the technique. If you plan to breastfeed in the future, discuss this with Dr. Rodriguez during your consultation.
