Breast Reduction and Lift

2 hours
Average duration

Recovery time
Outpatient procedure
Performed under general anesthesia

These procedures lift and reduce breast size, leaving a scar that becomes less noticeable over time.

The length and placement of the scar depend on the degree of sagging and breast size, and the most appropriate technique is chosen based on each patient’s condition:

Escurrimiento leve
Mild sagging

We use a minimally invasive approach with a discreet incision along the upper edge of the areola, similar to a standard breast augmentation. This allows for implant placement and a noticeable lift without extensive scarring.

Escurrimiento medio
Moderate sagging

In select cases, we perform a periareolar incision, creating a scar only around the areola. This technique is reserved for very specific patients.

Escurrimiento severo
Severe sagging

For more significant sagging, we use an inverted-T incision to remove excess tissue and achieve a dramatic lift.

Before & After:
Breast Reduction and Lift

An informed patient is a confident patient.
Our patients ask: Can I Get a Breast Reduction with Implants?

While it may seem surprising, in certain cases, we use implants during a breast reduction to ensure a rounder, more defined cleavage. This approach allows us to remove enough breast tissue for a proper reduction while maintaining shape and projection. The final result depends on the patient’s desired breast size.

So, if your goal is smaller, more sculpted breasts, start your digital pre-evaluation today to learn more about this procedure.

Frequently Asked Questions about this Surgery

Is a Breast Reduction the same as a Breast Lift?

No, they are not the same, although both procedures can lift the breasts. Breast reduction focuses on decreasing breast size by removing excess tissue, which not only reduces volume but also improves shape and position. 

On the other hand, a breast lift (mastopexy) is designed to elevate sagging or deflated breasts, restoring firmness and a more youthful appearance without reducing their size.

Yes, we highly recommend wearing a post-surgical bra after a breast reduction. It provides the necessary support and compression for a smooth recovery.

This depends on your personal expectations and whether you have enough natural breast tissue to achieve a lifted, well-proportioned result.

While this procedure offers numerous benefits, including reduced back pain, improved self-esteem, a more sculpted appearance, and greater comfort for physical activities, you should also be aware of potential considerations: 

  • A long scar, which gradually becomes less noticeable over time.
  • Reduced nipple sensitivity, occurring in approximately 40% of patients.
  • Possible breastfeeding difficulties, affecting 20% to 40% of cases.

It is recommended that patients traveling from abroad arrive three days prior to the procedure for adequate preparation.
