General information on medical treatment

Breast Reduction

Breast reduction is a transformative surgical procedure aimed at reducing breast size and weight, providing physical and psychological relief for people experiencing discomfort caused by overly large breasts. This surgery not only improves quality of life but can also resolve postural problems, back pain, and physical activity limitations.

Technical Aspects of the Procedure

The breast reduction procedure involves different surgical techniques, each adapted to the patient's specific needs. During surgery, excess breast tissue, fat, and skin are removed, repositioning the nipple and areola to a more natural position. The choice of specific technique depends on the volume to be reduced and individual anatomical characteristics.

Benefits of Breast Reduction

A plastic surgeon specialized in breast reduction can provide various benefits to patients, including better body weight distribution, reduction of back, shoulder, and neck pain, greater ease in exercising, and significant improvement in self-esteem. The procedure can also correct breast asymmetries and provide a more harmonious body contour.

The AvaliaMed platform provides access to experienced professionals who can evaluate your case individually and recommend the best treatment plan. Through available evaluations, you can learn about other patients' experiences and make an informed choice about your surgeon.

What are the risks associated with breast reduction?
Risks include irregular scarring, changes in nipple sensitivity, asymmetry, and common surgical complications such as infection and bleeding.

Areola reduction is performed during surgery using specific techniques that preserve sensitivity and maintain a natural appearance.
What is the minimum age for breast reduction?
It's recommended to wait for complete breast development, usually after 18 years, but each case is evaluated individually.
Is the result of breast reduction permanent?
