What Is Breast Reduction?

Women with large breasts that are causing them pain or discomfort, often choose to get a breast reduction (or reduction mammoplasty). Depending on how large their breasts were in the first place, they can get them reduced to a much more aesthetically pleasing and comfortable size. Women have overly large breasts due to genetic factors, breast hypertrophy or their breasts simply never returned to their regular size after breastfeeding. Breast reduction surgery is one of the most common types of breast surgery in the world and is used to treat many women with this issue.
Many men have a condition known as gynecomastia which is basically the enlargement of one or both of their breasts. Because it is rather an embarrassing condition, men are resorting to male breast reduction surgery or liposuction in order to deal with it. Gynecomastia can be caused by a number of factors including the use of drugs such as anti-depressants, marijuana, steroids and blood-pressure medicine. Unfortunately a better diet or exercise does nothing to help gynecomastia.
Breast reduction surgery has a very high success rate and most patients are incredibly happy with their results – not to mention relieved. As with other major surgeries, however, there are a number of risks and side effects that you should be aware of. During the consultation with your plastic surgeon in Mexico, he will go through these with you and make sure you understand what your options are if anything arises. He will also discuss the cost of breast reduction in Mexico. One of the most appealing things about going to Mexico for breast reduction are the affordable prices. Here, you only pay a fraction of what you would back in the US!
You only need to get a breast reduction once in your life and the results are permanent. The breast reduction procedure itself takes 2-4 hours and is usually carried out in an outpatient centre. If you require or desire it, nipple surgery may be performed to make your areola smaller and some patients choose to get a breast lift at the same time as their breast reduction.
