Breast reduction surgery is a removal of excess fat, glandular tissue, and skin to make a new shape of the breasts and to replace a nipple together with the areola. As a result, a patient receives simultaneous breast reduction and lifting.

There are 2 main techniques to perform breast reduction in Mexico. Only a doctor can decide which option is the best according to the patient's needs.

• Vertical or "lollipop" breast reduction. It is applied when the breasts are not large, and only small intervention is required. So, a doctor makes the first incision around the areola, and the second — vertically from the areola to the beneath of the breast. This incision has a lollipop shape.
• "Anchor" breast reduction method. In case if it is necessary to reduce the breasts significantly, a specialist makes "anchor"-shaped incision — around the areola and vertically from the areola to beneath the breast and along its crease.

Depending on the breast reduction surgery type, the cost of the operation and recovery period vary.

A breast reduction takes 1.5-4 hours and is performed under general anesthesia. A patient can be discharged from the clinic the same day, or in 1-2 days depending on surgery complexity.

A woman can return to work in 1 week after surgery in case it does not require physical activity. Any exercising and daily routines must be avoided for 3-4 weeks. The swelling and inflammation disappear in about 5-6 weeks.

Note, that hardly visible scars may remain after surgery. You can completely get rid of them in a year after special cosmetic procedures.
