The Breast Reduction Procedure: Step by Step

1

Presurgical consultation and planning

Breast surgery begins with a detailed consultation to analyze goals, expectations and medical history. Dr. Gaona performs a comprehensive evaluation of breast anatomy, evaluating skin elasticity, tissue density and proportionality.
With this information, develop a personalized surgical plan, selecting the best technique and placement of the incision to achieve the desired result and minimize scarring.

2

Surgical process

The procedure is performed in general anesthesia in a fully equipped surgical center. The specific surgical approach varies depending on the type of breast surgery. For augmentation, implants are placed one way or another above or below the muscle, depending on the characteristics of the fabric. In breast lift or reduction, excess skin and tissue are carefully removed while reshaping and repositioning the breast to improved contour. The incisions are strategically placed to ensure minimum visibility.

3

Recovery and Healing

After surgery, patients usually experience mild swelling and discomfort, which gradually subside within a few weeks. A compression garment is often recommended to support healing and maintain breast position. While normal activities may resume within 4 to 6 weeks, final results take several months as tissues take on their new shape. Proper aftercare, scar management, and follow-up visits are essential for achieving optimal and lasting results.

FAQs

What's the difference between a breast augmentation and a breast lift?

Breast augmentation focuses on increasing breast size using implants or fat grafts, ideal for patients looking for more volume. A breast lift (mastopexy) addresses sagging by removing excess skin and repositioning tissue and nipples, restoring a youthful shape without adding volume. Some patients combine both procedures to achieve thicker, lifted breasts. Dr. Jennifer Gaona evaluates your anatomy during a consultation to recommend the best approach.

How long does recovery take after a breast augmentation or a lift?

Recovery varies depending on the procedure. In the case of augmentation, most patients resume light activities after 5 to 7 days and fully recover in 4 to 6 weeks. A breast lift usually requires 1 to 2 weeks of rest, and strenuous activities are avoided for 4 to 6 weeks. Swelling and bruising gradually go away, and Dr. Gaona provides personalized aftercare instructions, including wearing a surgical bra and attending follow-up visits to monitor healing.

Can breast lift or reduction affect breastfeeding?

While most techniques preserve the galactophore ducts, there is a small risk of altered nipple sensitivity or milk production. Dr. Gaona uses incision patterns that minimize glandular tissue alteration, such as a lollipop or an anchor lift. During consultations, discuss your family's future plans to design a surgical approach that balances aesthetic goals with functional preservation.

What are the risks of breast surgery?

Common risks include temporary swelling, bruising, or discomfort. Rare complications (< 2%) include infection, scarring, or implant rupture. Dr. Gaona mitigates risks through detailed preoperative planning, advanced surgical techniques and post-operative care. Your clinic meets international safety standards, including the services of board-certified anesthesiologists and nursing support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
