Reduction Mammoplasty
It is recommended for patients who have a very large bust that may present any of the following problems:
Chronic back, shoulder or neck pain caused by the weight of the breast.
Skin irritations such as bra marks on the shoulders or persistent dermatitis under the breasts that cause discomfort and discomfort.
Limitation in exercise or daily activities due to a very large bust size.
Difficulty dressing and finding appropriate bras or clothing.
Self-esteem problems caused by nonconformity in appearance and breast size
Reduction surgery is recommended to be performed once breast maturity has been reached, in most cases at age 18. There are special cases in which disproportionate growth occurs during puberty or adolescence that requires initial reduction to alleviate discomfort.
For reduction mammoplasty, Dr. Raúl Trujillo uses regional anesthesia accompanied by intravenous sedation. This method is preferred for its ability to provide patient comfort and a faster, smoother postoperative recovery, minimizing the common discomfort associated with general anesthesia.
Yes, in some cases, Dr. Raúl Trujillo may recommend the use of small implants during reduction mammoplasty to improve the shape and final contour of the breast. This can be particularly useful for patients who want to maintain a certain volume while seeking a more balanced proportion and natural appearance.
Recovery varies from patient to patient, but most can expect to return to normal activities within 2 to 4 weeks. It is advised to avoid strenuous exercise or heavy lifting for at least 4 to 6 weeks. Dr. Trujillo will provide specific post-operative care instructions tailored to your individual needs.
Yes, reduction mammoplasty involves incisions that will result in scarring. Dr. Raúl Trujillo uses the inverted T or anchor incision technique, one of the most common for this procedure, which allows excess skin and tissue to be removed effectively and improve the contour of the breast. This technique involves an incision around the perimeter of the areola, another vertical one from the base of the areola to the breast fold, and a horizontal incision along the inframammary fold. Although these incisions leave scars, Dr. Trujillo strives to ensure they are as discreet as possible and provides guidance on post-operative care to minimize their appearance. Over time, the scars will fade and become less noticeable, especially if the skin care recommendations provided are followed.
Although you will notice an immediate difference after surgery, the final results become more evident once the swelling has subsided and the incisions have completely healed, which can take several months. Dr. Trujillo will accompany you in the follow-up process to ensure your satisfaction with the results.
