Breast Reduction (Reduction Mammoplasty)
What does breast reduction involve?
Breast reduction, also known as reduction mammoplasty, is a procedure designed to improve aesthetics and alleviate discomfort caused by excessively large breasts. These discomforts may include back and neck pain, poor posture, breathing difficulties, and more.
Procedure
The procedure begins with a detailed consultation with the plastic surgeon, Dr. Ernesto Andrade, who will evaluate your specific needs and goals. During this evaluation, the desired breast size will be determined, and a personalized surgical plan will be designed to achieve the desired results.
Breast reduction surgery involves the removal of excess breast tissue and fat to achieve a proportionate and aesthetically pleasing breast size and shape. In some cases, the nipples and areolas may also be repositioned to fit the new breast contour properly. It is important to note that, unlike breast augmentation, this procedure does not use breast implants, as the desired shape is primarily achieved using the patient’s own breast tissue.
Breast Reduction
- One of the standout advantages of breast reduction with Dr. Ernesto Andrade's technique is the absence of drains after surgery, which contributes to a more comfortable recovery process. Additionally, absorbable sutures are used, meaning there is no need for stitch removal during the postoperative period, providing even more comfort and convenience for the patient.
