What is Breast Reduction?
Breast reduction, or reduction mammaplasty, is a surgical procedure that aims to decrease the size and weight of the bust by removing excess breast tissue, fat, and skin.
This type of surgery not only improves body aesthetics and proportion but also alleviates physical discomfort such as back pain, neck pain, or skin irritations caused by excess breast volume. It is common for women with large breasts who seek greater comfort, freedom of movement, and body harmony.
How is it performed?
The surgery is performed in the operating room under general anesthesia and can last between 2 to 4 hours, depending on the case. The surgeon makes strategic incisions to remove the excess breast tissue and reposition the areola and nipple to a more natural height.
Anchor-shaped
(around the areola, vertical downwards, and along the inframammary fold)
Vertical
technique
(around the areola and vertical towards the inframammary fold)
In some cases, the technique can be combined with liposuction in the lateral chest area to improve the contour.
At COLSURGERIES, we work with certified surgeons and top-level clinics that guarantee a safe procedure, with minimal scarring and functional and aesthetic results.
Breast Reduction - Recovery
Recovery usually takes between 10 to 15 days to resume light daily activities. It is normal to have swelling, mild bruising, and temporary sensitivity. Medical recommendations include wearing a post-surgical bra and avoiding physical exertion for 4 to 6 weeks.
The results are visible from the first few weeks, although they stabilize between 2 and 3 months. The benefits are both aesthetic and physical, improving posture, mobility, and self-esteem.
At COLSURGERIES, we support you throughout the entire process with follow-up in Colombia and virtual assistance from your country, ensuring a smooth recovery and satisfactory results.
