Breast Reduction

Breast reduction (or reduction mammoplasty) is a common surgical procedure where women with overly large breasts get them reduced. These women usually experience significant pain and discomfort from their breasts so breast reduction is their only option for treatment.

Most women who undergo a breast reduction are very happy with their results because they can wear the clothes they want to, play sports without having to worry about their breasts getting in the way and, of course, feel much better about themselves and their appearance. Breast reduction is one of the most common types of surgery carried out in Mexico today.

Well adjusted and healthy women with overly large breasts and men with gynecomastia are good candidates for breast reduction surgery.
