Breast Reduction Madrid

Reduce your breast volume to improve your quality of life.

A breast reduction in Madrid is recommended for any woman with breast hypertrophy, also known as gigantomastia. This occurs when a person develops a breast volume that is too large in proportion to their body contour.

When we have breast hypertrophy, the first logical consequence is usually early sagging of the breast position. An exaggerated forward projection of the breast is also common.

The most evident consequences of breast hypertrophy are chronic back and neck pain, as well as skin irritation and, of course, a whole range of aesthetic and self-esteem issues.

This is why breast reduction is an effective procedure to prevent all these problems related to overly large breasts. At Sculpture Clinic we specialize in breast surgery, always with the best team of professionals.

When should you consider breast reduction?

Breast hypertrophy can cause many problems, both health-related and related to appearance and emotional wellbeing. This is why breast reduction becomes such an effective, and even necessary, solution.

When the following symptoms appear, it’s worth considering a breast reduction:

If we feel back and neck pain.
If we have difficulty breathing properly.
If our breasts show stretch marks from excessive growth.
If our breasts are uncomfortable during exercise.
If we have trouble finding clothes in our size or that don’t leave marks.
If the skin becomes irritated due to chafing between the breast and abdomen.

What does breast reduction involve?

Breast reduction in Madrid is a surgery that aims to effectively and permanently reduce breast size. This process can be carried out through liposuction when the skin has good elasticity (which is especially common in younger people) and when the breast shape is aesthetically good.

In the vast majority of cases, liposuction alone is not an effective enough procedure, and a breast lift surgery is required. A large amount of breast and fatty tissue is usually also removed while lifting the areolar complex.

In general terms, incisions are made around the areola and the inframammary fold. These scars will be visible at first, but will become nearly imperceptible over time.

Features of Breast Reduction Surgery

A breast reduction usually lasts about 3 hours, depending on factors such as breast size, the patient’s age, and the amount of breast and fatty tissue that needs to be removed.

The procedure is always performed under general anesthesia, making it a completely painless process during which you won’t feel anything.

This operation usually involves one day of hospital admission, and it’s only performed on an outpatient basis in mild cases. Rest is recommended for about a week after the procedure.

Scars will be visible during the first few months. After a year, they will be stable and practically imperceptible. Results are immediate in terms of a significant improvement in the patient’s quality of life.

Posture generally improves, and most back and neck pain that used to be chronic will disappear. We eliminate irritation and excessive sweating in the breast fold.

Who is this treatment recommended for?

This treatment is recommended for anyone who has completed breast development, since this is the only way to know the final breast size and avoid further growth.

The suitable age for this treatment for patients is usually from 18 years old. In any case, we must carry out a detailed assessment of each case to confirm that growth has stopped.

There are other times when breast size changes, namely pregnancy and breastfeeding. If you’re considering a breast reduction, it’s best to wait a reasonable amount of time until both periods have completely ended.

Breast reduction does not affect breast or areola sensitivity, nor will it make breastfeeding more difficult.

Long-Term Benefits of Breast Reduction

Overly large breasts can be a physical and emotional problem for many women, which is why many choose breast reduction. Let’s look at the main long-term benefits achieved through this surgery.

Reduced neck and back pain. The weight of very large breasts often causes severe pain in the back, neck, and even shoulders. By reducing breast size and removing part of that extra load, this helps eliminate these ailments.
Increased self-confidence. Having overly large breasts often makes a woman feel uncomfortable with herself. Breast reduction can restore lost confidence and self-esteem, as well as improve body image perception.
Allows for a more active lifestyle. Women with large breasts may have trouble exercising or feel discomfort with certain movements during physical activity. If you undergo a breast reduction, you'll be able to do your exercise routine more comfortably.
Better hygiene. The folds that form under the breasts due to excess skin and tissue can be a major problem when showering or getting dressed. Reducing breast size helps improve hygiene in the area.

Frequently Asked Questions About Breast Reduction in Madrid

What should I keep in mind before surgery?

When undergoing a sensitive surgical procedure, it’s advisable to follow certain guidelines beforehand to ensure the best result. This also helps minimize common complications that can occur with this type of surgery.

During the two or three weeks before the procedure, keep the following in mind:

Avoid medications that affect proper blood clotting, such as aspirin or anticoagulants. This reduces the risk of bleeding.
Alcohol and tobacco use are not recommended, since they interfere with proper blood oxygenation.
You should not eat or drink for six hours before the operation.

What is the post-operative period like?

After the procedure, we must also follow a series of recommendations to ensure everything goes well. First, drains will be placed to prevent tissue buildup. This prevents possible infections and helps the incisions heal faster.

In addition to one day of hospital admission, you’ll need to rest for a few days after the breast reduction. It’s recommended to stay in bed and avoid excessive use of your arms. You’ll also need to clean the incisions and drains regularly.

At the post-operative appointment for breast reduction in Madrid, we’ll fit a special bra that supports the weight of the breasts and keeps them properly positioned.

Other recommendations to follow include:

Do not get the wounds wet.
Use compression garments as prescribed by your doctor.
Avoid underwire bras during the first month.
Do not sleep face down to avoid putting pressure on the breasts.
Avoid high-intensity exercise.
Do not drink alcohol or smoke, eat healthily, and drink plenty of water.
