Reduction mammoplasty is a procedure we perform as plastic surgeons to reduce breast size. This procedure is sought by patients who desire a smaller, more well-positioned bust or who experience symptoms such as back pain, infections in the breast folds, and marks on the shoulders from the weight of the breasts.

Different techniques are used depending on each patient’s initial condition and the expected results. The scars are mostly easy to camouflage and can be around the areola, vertical, or in an inverted T shape. Through these incisions, we remove excess tissue and reposition the remaining tissue to achieve a harmonious, aesthetic, and functional result.

In these procedures, we can use breast implants or reposition the breast with the patient’s own tissue, depending on the amount of tissue present before the procedure and the patient’s expectations.

Breast Pexia

Breast pexia, or breast lift, is a procedure that anatomically repositions tissues and is often performed in conjunction with breast reduction. It is also ideal for patients with sagging, flat, or excess breasts.

At Majestic Plastic Surgery, we believe that the final result is largely determined by the surgeon’s concept of beauty. The combination of female and male perspectives and the presence of two surgeons in the same procedure guarantees greater body harmony, shorter surgical time, and a more supportive approach.

Indications

This procedure is indicated for patients who:

Want to reduce breast volume.
Need to restructure breast volume due to weight gain.
Want to highlight the upper poles of the breasts.
Have sagging breasts.
Have lost significant weight and experience ptosis or sagging breasts.
Desire a more defined and striking cleavage.
Are seeking harmony in their breast contour.
Need breast reconstruction after breast cancer, under specific conditions.
Want to improve the shape or symmetry of their breasts.

Procedure

A pre-surgical consultation is essential to determine the patient’s needs, expectations, and condition. The procedure is performed in a completely aseptic operating room. The scars can be around the areola, vertical, or in an inverted T. An implant can be used, placed behind the muscle, the mammary gland, the fascia, or in a dual plane. If an implant is not used, the breast is restructured with the patient’s own tissue. Finally, the procedure is closed in layers, and a special bra is placed for support during recovery.
