Breast Reduction
Breast reduction, or reduction mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to decrease the size of the breasts by removing excess fatty tissue, glandular tissue, and skin. This procedure can help alleviate physical problems such as back, neck, and shoulder pain, and can also improve physical appearance and body proportion. During the initial consultation, your expectations are discussed, and the necessary amount of reduction is determined to achieve the desired size and shape.
How to Prepare
- Have a laboratory test or a medical exam to evaluate your overall health.
- Discuss with the surgeon any medications you are taking and follow their instructions on which medications to discontinue.
- Get a baseline mammogram before surgery and another afterward to monitor any changes in the breast tissue.
- Stop smoking before surgery to promote better healing and reduce risks.
- Avoid taking aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs, and herbal supplements to minimize the risk of bleeding.
What to Expect from the Procedure
- A reduction in the size and weight of the breasts, which can improve body proportion and relieve physical discomfort.
- A recovery period that may include several days of rest and limited physical activities, with full recovery in a few weeks.
- Possible swelling and temporary discomfort in the first few days after surgery.
- Visible results almost immediately, although the final appearance of the breasts will be seen once the swelling has subsided.
- Regular follow-ups with the surgeon to ensure proper recovery and to address any questions or complications that may arise.
