Breast reduction is a surgical procedure aimed at reducing the volume of the breasts by removing excess glandular, fatty, and skin tissue. This operation not only reduces physical discomfort, but also harmonizes the figure.

The number of reduced cup sizes depends on your expectations, your body type and the recommendations of our specialists. In general, it is possible to reduce by 1 to 3 cup sizes while maintaining a harmonious chest that is proportionate to your figure. During your consultation, our experts will guide you to determine the optimal volume to be removed, in accordance with your aesthetic and functional goals.
Breast reduction involves incisions, but these are done strategically to minimize their visibility. Scars are usually located around the areola, in the submammary fold, and sometimes vertically in between. Over time, they gradually fade and become discreet. Our surgeons use advanced techniques to ensure fine and well-positioned scars, and adapted post-operative care will be recommended to you to promote optimal healing.
Recovery after a breast reduction varies according to each patient, but in general: Light activities can be resumed after 7 to 10 days. Edemas and bruises disappear gradually over 2 to 4 weeks. Intense physical activities should be avoided for 4 to 6 weeks. Careful post-operative follow-up is provided to support you throughout your recovery and ensure lasting and harmonious results.
In most cases, it is possible to breast-feed after a breast reduction, although this will depend on the technique used and the amount of breast tissue removed. Our specialists take into account your maternity plans when planning the intervention in order to preserve the mammary glands and milk ducts necessary for breastfeeding as much as possible. This question will be addressed in detail during your one-on-one consultation.
