Question 1

What does a breast reduction surgery involve?

Accepted Answer

The reduction mammoplasty involves decreasing breast size by removing mammary tissue (gland), fat, and skin. This results in smaller, firmer, lighter breasts with a more rounded shape. It is often associated with a reduction in areola size.

Question 2

What will the scar look like after the breast reduction surgery?

Accepted Answer

The resulting scar will depend on the amount of tissue that needs to be removed. There will always be a scar around the areola and a vertical scar at the lower pole of the breast. In most cases, it is also necessary to add a horizontal scar (of varying length) in the submammary fold (in the shape of an inverted T).

Question 3

What do I have to do in the first few days after the breast reduction surgery?

Accepted Answer

We will closely monitor your progress, providing treatment guidelines and taking care of your dressings. You should take short walks, avoiding exertion with your arms. We will provide you with a bra that you will need to wear for a month.

Question 4

Will I experience pain after the breast reduction surgery?

Accepted Answer

It is normal to feel uncomfortable in the first few days and have a sensation of tension in the chest, but we will provide medication to manage any pain.

Question 5

When can I resume my daily activities after the breast reduction surgery?

Accepted Answer

You can return to work in approximately 4-5 days, provided your job does not involve physical exertion. For sports activities, you will need to wait for a month.

Question 6

When can I drive after the breast reduction surgery?

Accepted Answer

In 4-5 days approximately.

Question 7

Will I be able to breastfeed after the breast reduction surgery?

Accepted Answer

By raising the position of the nipple, we cut the milk ducts through which the milk exits, so it is very likely that you will not be able to breastfeed after the procedure.

Question 8

How much does the breast reduction surgery cost?

Accepted Answer

The cost of reduction mammoplasty depends on the technique used, varying based on the anatomical characteristics of each patient. Stem Beauty will provide an individualized quote tailored to your needs. Contact us for more information.
